I have trouble stringing the commandline utilities together myself. :-)
So until a util guru answers, here is a Perl script to do it. ( No error
checking
for size of images and text size)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Image::Magick;
#usage: script baseimage overlayimage 'some text in quotes'
my $image = Image::Magick->new;
my $oimage = Image::Magick->new;
my $rc = $image->Read(shift);
$rc = $oimage->Read(shift);
my $text = shift;
$rc = $image->Composite(
geometry => '+30+30',
compose=>'Atop',
image => $oimage,
opacity => '100%',
tile => 0,
);
$image->Annotate(pointsize => 36,
fill => '#ffcc00ff', #last 2 digits opacity in hex ff=max
text => $text,
gravity => 'South' );
$image->Write("$0.png");
exit;
__END__
