Dynamic Image from text/string in Rails

Image will be generated dynamically from string or text:

Use - require 'RMagick' in your class

	def draw_image
	#Image parameters
	options = {:img_width => 300, :img_height => 250, :text_color => "#FF0000", :font_size => 36,
	:text => "This is text", :bg_color => "#EFEFEF"}
	#Initialize a container with it's width and height
	container=Magick::Image.new(options[:img_width],options[:img_height]){
	self.background_color = options[:bg_color]
	}
	#Initialize a new image
	image=Magick::Draw.new
	image.stroke('transparent')
	image.fill(options[:text_color])
	image.font='/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/Verdana_Italic.ttf'
	image.pointsize=options[:font_size]
	image.font_weight=Magick::BoldWeight
	image.text(0,0,options[:text])
	image.text_antialias(false)
	image.font_style=Magick::NormalStyle
	image.gravity=Magick::CenterGravity
	#Place the image onto the container
	image.draw(container)
	container=container.raise(3,1)
	# To test the image(a pop up will show you the generated dynamic image)
	container.display
	# generated image will be saved in public directory
	#container.write("public/image.gif")
	end
