    Here's how to create a header image and write it to file. This took me a while to figure out. I hope this helps.

    <?php

    /* Text to write */
    $text = "Hello World!";

    /* Create Imagick objects */
    $image = new Imagick();
    $draw = new ImagickDraw();
    $color = new ImagickPixel('#000000');
    $background = new ImagickPixel('none'); // Transparent

    /* Font properties */
    $draw->setFont('Arial');
    $draw->setFontSize(50);
    $draw->setFillColor($color);
    $draw->setStrokeAntialias(true);
    $draw->setTextAntialias(true);

    /* Get font metrics */
    $metrics = $image->queryFontMetrics($draw, $text);

    /* Create text */
    $draw->annotation(0, $metrics['ascender'], $text);

    /* Create image */
    $image->newImage($metrics['textWidth'], $metrics['textHeight'], $background);
    $image->setImageFormat('png');
    $image->drawImage($draw);

    /* Save image */
    file_put_contents('/path/to/file.png', $image);
    ?>

    [As mentioned in another comment] To correctly position text in the vertical plane when using `annotation()`, you can use the value of the `"ascender"` element returned by `Imagick::queryFontMetrics()`.

    So, to effectively make your text touch [0, 0], for example, you could do something like the following.

    <?php
    $textDraw     = new ImagickDraw();
    $textDraw->setFont($fontPathname);
    $textDraw->setFontSize($fontSize);
    $textDraw->setFillColor(new ImagickPixel($color));

    $imagick= new Imagick();
    $textMetrics = $imagick->queryFontMetrics($textDraw, 'Hello, World!');

    $textDraw->annotation(
    0,
    $textMetrics['ascender'], // <-- This is the important bit :-)
    'Hello, World!'
    );
    ?>

    Hope that helps clarify. The other comment was a blessing for me.

    You can use this method to break your text so that it'll fit a certain $maxWidth.

    <?php
    /**
    * @param string $text
    * @param int $maxWidth
    */
    protected function _fitText($text, $maxWidth)
    {
    $im = new Imagick();
    $im->newImage($this->_width, $this->_height, "none");

    $lines = explode(PHP_EOL, trim($text));
    $DEBUG_LOOP = 0;

    for (    $k = 0; $k < count($lines); ++$k) {
    do {
    $drawText = new ImagickDraw();
    // set your font settings like size, family, .. here
    $metrics = $im->queryFontMetrics($drawText, $lines[$k]);
    $fits = $metrics["textWidth"] <= $maxWidth;

    if (    $fits) {
    break;
    }

    $pos = mb_strrpos($lines[$k], " ");
    if (    $pos === false) {
    throw new     RuntimeException("can not make it fit");
    }
    if (!isset(    $lines[$k + 1])) {
    $lines[$k + 1] = null;
    }
    $lines[$k + 1] = trim(mb_substr($lines[$k], $pos + 1) . " " . $lines[$k + 1]);
    $lines[$k] = trim(mb_substr($lines[$k], 0, $pos));

    if (++    $DEBUG_LOOP >= 200) {
    throw new     RuntimeException("infinite loop");
    }
    } while (!    $fits);
    }
    $text = implode(PHP_EOL, $lines);
    $drawText = new ImagickDraw();
    // set your font settings like size, family, .. here again!
    $metrics = $im->queryFontMetrics($drawText, $text);
    $metrics["text"] = $text;
    assert('$metrics["textWidth"] <= $maxWidth');
    return     $metrics;
    }
    ?>

    In some cases the (custom) font can be truncated on the side parts, especially the handwritten ones.
    To improve the above note from Anonymous on "how to create a header image", I've changed this part of the code:

    <?php
    /* Create text */
    $draw->annotation( $metrics['boundingBox']['y2'], $metrics['ascender'], $text );

    /* Create image */
    $image->newImage( $metrics['textWidth'] + $metrics['boundingBox']['y2'], $metrics['textHeight'], $background );
    ?>
