Hi

I want to center the text on Image (Horizontal Center)
But the vertical position of the text will be in various place.

How do i do that?

Thanks

I would use -gravity center to center it then move it up and dow - you do not say how you are writting the text as unsing -annotate you could -annotate +0+100 with -gravity

I thought we can't use annotate while using gravity center.

Can i use negative values in annotate?

Thanks

I am lost with the gravity business but think it should work in this situation BUT the text you are writting may be centered. Just try it and see - yes you can use negative values for -annotate

Yes, It is working...

as the vertical location is variable I would use 'North' gravity for horizontal centering then Y offset for vertical placement (specifying the gap between text and top of image).
