as it says on the usage page gravity * It is also used, as means of specifying the text justification by the various text to image generators such as "label:" and the text justification by the various text to image generators such as "caption:". * The "-annotate" text d...

basically all the -gravitys of all the elements have to be NorthWest in respect to the entire canvas, all of them

what i need now is separated -gravitys to specify left,center or right alignment for the multiline texts themselves (respect to their own boundaries, not the entire canvas)

what i need in a single command is to be able to use -gravity to align multiline texts left, center or right, and at the same time composite those texts with the default northwest within the whole large canvas its really that simple, but so far not working so i have a series of multiline texts, -gra...

yes i can see the problem now the problem is that the -gravity in each individual text i need it to be the positioning of each text within its own bounding box (for simulating left, center and right aligned text) so that doesnt work thats why it works when done separately, example convert -backgroun...

to be more specific sorry positioning of the individual texts works perfect in this splitted version adding the gravity (which i took out previously to simplify explanation) convert -background none -fill #ff33cc -font Arial -pointsize 60 -rotate 0 -gravity West label:"text1" image1.png co...

the second one almost almost works but only positioning fails, i think it may have to do with the gravity parameters colliding, i explain example of my full command (splitted in lines for more clarity) convert -size 2040x2856 xc:none -gravity NorthWest -fill #99ff00 -font Arial -pointsize 600 -rotat...

fantastic, thank you very much Bonzo,
i already tried the first one and it works perfect!

now im going to try the second one, thank you again

thank you so much Bonzo! :) i am going to try those commands now, thank you thank you :) by the way i doubt i had, the -geometry syntax -+x-+y if im reading both coordinates from a form from php and they are both positive, as i add them to the command does it work if i put them with a space in betwe...

dear Anthony, thank you so much for taking the time to reply to this, i actually tried myself already to do these 2 cases with pipelining or with composite, but just couldnt manage to reach the right syntax to make them work, i tried many times but so far i can only make them work with separate comm...

thank you :) background is transparent in second example yes, transparent png as output, and yes the canvas is smaller than the image, so the final result becomes kind of a crop of the larger image, thats why positioning can become negative, its all good, the process works perfect, all i need is to ...

trying to condense the summary of both scenarios even more 1) resize an image (img1.jpg) + position it at x,y coordinates within a brand new much larger image (background.jpg) - output : jpeg 2) render multiple texts as png images + composite them all at different x,y coordinates within a brand new ...

dear GreenKoopa thank you very much for your help and reply, actually i didnt know what was the most efficient way to do this, i think -draw is probably not the best way, you are right that -geometry and -composite may be much better, i had no special reason to use -draw, i just didnt know a better ...

dear friends, i am trying to unite a few commands in a single one, so far unsuccessfully , maybe you can help me, the commands work all great, but create some large temporary files in between, i know i could delete them later, but it would be all more efficient if i could accomplish it all with a si...

i found the problem, it was the magic_quotes in the windows server set to on, whereas
on my local computer it was off its solved now

hi everybody :) I am using imagemagick since a few weeks ago and i really love it, congrats to all the development team. I am developing an app with javascript, ajax, php and imagemagick and i have this strange problem. In my local computer, i use successfully the following command to create a png i...
