If this helps here is the command and the assets I am using. http://mo-de.net/d/hlp.zip

convert bgPapaer.jpg \( -size 950x950 -background "rgba(0,0,0,0)" -font /home/lex/share/Mo_De_Studio/audio_blog/OpenSans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf -fill "#000000" caption:"$(cat ./temp.txt)" \( +clone -shadow 0x0+0+0 \) +swap -background "rgba(0,0,0,0)" -layers merge +repage \) -gravity center ...

The command generate the image I want. It has an extra image that I do not want. This is what I want to resolve. How do I do this? "+write tmpX.png statements"? You can do one of at least two simple things to fix your command line. 1) Separate it into multiple commands and show us the commands that ...

I do not want to pipe anything to -convert. I think that might not be correct. I took it out and tried this. convert bgPapaer.jpg \( -size 950x950 -background "rgba(0,0,0,0)" -font /home/lex/share/Mo_De_Studio/audio_blog/OpenSans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf -fill "#000000" caption:"$(cat ./temp.txt ...

Here it is broken out. convert bgPapaer.jpg \ << This is the background image ( -size 950x950 -background "rgba(0,0,0,0)" -font /home/lex/share/Mo_De_Studio/audio_blog/OpenSans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf -fill "#000000" caption:"$(cat ./temp.txt)" << This creates an image with a trasparent bg and uses ...

Yes that was a mistake with the original post. What you have shown isn't a valid IM command, unless you have an image file named "convert" (which would be a really bad idea). I suspect you have somehow combined two commands into one. I suggest you break your command into logical lines, to help ...

UPDATE I spoke to soon. This command my original command, generates two files "r2.png" and "-composite". convert bgPapaer.jpg \( -size 950x950 -background "rgba(0,0,0,0)" -font /home/lex/share/Mo_De_Studio/audio_blog/OpenSans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf -fill "#000000" caption:"$(cat ./temp.txt ...

It looks like your command is improperly copy/pasted. Tossing the first part of your command, we get a valid ImageMagick script: convert bgPapaer.jpg \( -size 950x950 -background "rgba(0,0,0,0)" -font /home/lex/share/Mo_De_Studio/audio_blog/OpenSans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf -fill "#000000" caption ...

This command produces two files r2.png and -composite. What do I need to modify so it does not produce the "-composite"? convert bgPapaer.jpg \( -size 950x950 -background "rgba(0,0,0,0)" -font /home/lex/share/Mo_De_Studio/audio_blog/OpenSans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf -fill "#000000" caption:"$(cat ...

Is it to late for this? I would do it.

fmw42, thanks your second solution run so fast and does exactly what I need.

This is the closes I can get to making this happen in one line. convert -size 1000x1000 xc: +size xc:none -fill '#f5f21f' -font /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf -size 1024x512 caption:"$(cat ./temp.txt)" xc:"#fb35fc" xc:"#603edb" \ -fx 'ar=hypot( i/w-.8, j/h-.3 )*4; br=hypot( i/w ...

snibgo, what you describe is what is happening. Can I do this all in one command, add the caption to the gradient? It creates two images and none have the text caption. You create three images, all with "xc:". Then "-fx" modifies the first and removes the others, so you have one image. Then you add ...

How do I pad the text without using the border command? I noticed the gradient does not cover the border.
