Shifting "-fill x.png"

[aleb]

This draws a white disc on a blue background:

Code: Select all

convert -size 100x100 xc:skyblue -fill white -stroke black -draw "arc  20,20 80,80  0,360" circle.png

This uses circle.png as a "fill color" when drawing a new larger circle:

Code: Select all

convert -size 100x100 xc:none -fill circle.png -draw "circle 50,50 50,10" x.png

In ImageMagick 6.6.9-7 2014-03-06 Q16 everything in x.png looked centered, but now in ImageMagick 6.9.3-0 Q16 x86_64 2016-01-08 the fill content is shifted +10+10. Any way to force the old behavior, or how could I obtain the old result using the new behavior?

-fill circle.png

there is no such command -fill that works on an image. the -fill command needs a color as its argument.

I tried:
- removing "-fill" and also
- using "-fill red" instead of just "-fill",
but x.png is not created and I don't get an error message. There should be an error printed, at least?

Any idea why circle.png appears shifted in the final x.png? I'll dig some more..

Not sure what you are trying to do. But try

Code: Select all

convert -size 100x100 xc:none -fill circle.png -gravity center -geometry +0+0 -compose over -composite result.png

change +0+0 to where you want it offset from the center

The documentation on "-fill" says it must be followed by a colour. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... s.php#fill

However, this works for me, v6.9.2-5 on Windows 8.1:

Code: Select all

convert -size 100x100 gradient: g.png

convert -size 100x100 xc:none -fill g.png -draw "circle 50,50 50,10" x.png

x.png is then a gradient-filled circle on a transparent background.

This method with "-tile" is documented, and does the same thing:

Code: Select all

convert -size 100x100 xc:none -tile g.png -draw "circle 50,50 50,10" x.png
