How to offset caption

Post by qaz123 »

I'm trying to create a caption with an offset

I tried setting -geometry +x+y with caption but it is not working. Can someone teach me how to add an offset to the caption? The reason I use caption is for the word wrap capability. Thank!

Please define what you want from the offset or show an example. If you want a caption with what I imagine an offset, just add a border on one side using -extend or -splice. see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/crop/#extent and http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/crop/#splice after you create your caption: text image. If this is not what you want, please clarify further.
