OK, here is an example using the IM built-in images logo: and rose: (which require the colon), normal images do not use the colon, but need a suffix (see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php#builtin-images)
I will add the rose image to the top left corner using -gravity NorthWest and some text to the bottom center using -gravity South and annotate. No clone or parenthesis is needed in this case. you can change the position of the text relative to the bottom using the coordinates following -annotate convert logo: rose: -gravity NorthWest -compose over -composite \ -fill blue -font Candice -pointsize 36 -gravity South -annotate +0+0 "Some Text" tmp.png see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compose/ http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#gravity http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#annotate >Hi there, I?m new here and have just discovered the powere of ImageMagick ? >awesome. > >Anyhow I don?t really understand the syntax of the command line usage. > >What I?m trying to do, is take an overlay, add it to an image in the top >left, then also add an annotation in the bottom and save the output as a >single file original size, in a single process, but I just don?t get how to >stack the commands up so I can do this. > >I?m probably missing the bleedin? obvious as is usually the case when I try >and pick up a new technology but I can only ask... >Thanks in advance. > >Nick _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
