hi,
i am new to imagemagick and this forum
i have a problem with following command line
Code: Select all
"C:\Programme\ImageMagick-6.3.7-Q16\convert" -size 320x200 xc:#B3B3B3FF -pointsize 18 -annotate +50+50 "TEST 1" -annotate +100+100 "TEST 2" -annotate +150+150 "TEST 3" "C:\123.png"
it
should produce a picture with three text phrases with different locations but instead this is the ouput
TEST 1 seems to be located correctly but the two others are placed mostly the picture. whats wrong?
sorry if this is a noob question

It works OK for me on windows XP version 6.3.7 using:
Code: Select all
convert -size 320x200 xc:#B3B3B3FF -pointsize 18 -annotate +50+50 "TEST 1" -annotate +100+100 "TEST 2" -annotate +150+150 "TEST 3" "C:\123.png"
You can see some of your text disapearing off the image, try putting something like -annotate +100-100 "TEST 2" for the second bit of text and see what happens.

thx for your reply Bonzo
do you get get an image, where the text phrases are positioned correctly?
-annotate +100-100 "TEST 2" doesnt help...same ouput....could it be localization problem?

It may be something to do with your setup I suppose.

Try adding a -gravity northwest e.g.
Code: Select all
convert -size 320x200 xc:#B3B3B3FF -pointsize 18 -gravity northwest -annotate +50+50 "TEST 1" -annotate +100+100 "TEST 2" -annotate +150+150 "TEST 3" "C:\123.png"

this is my result...... it really looks like, that the y-value of annotate isnt processed correctly

I tried that command with ImageMagick 6.3.5 07/31/07 Q8 and I get the same result as Bonzo posted. At the moment I can't think of a reason why it would fail for Unikat2000.

i will test IM on a fresh english winxp version tommorrow...
EDIT: ok i have done the install and i found out that the whole issue is related to Regional Options in the Regional and Language Opions Panel
if i use English (United States) it produces the correct ouput like Bonze posted.... with German (Germany) it gives me the output i have posted....
....so what can i do... i dont want to set my configuration to English (United States), cause i believe that this will lead to problem in other applications.....
