Hello!

I'm currently using ImageMagick with Pango and the image consists in a background with three texts.

A main text on the top and two others in the footer. I want them align on the right side, but I can't find a pango command to do so. I also tried "justify", just to see the effect and it didn't work. Am I doing anything wrong? My command is:

Code: Select all

    convert -size 390x30 -background transparent -define pango:justify=true pango:"footer 1" footer1.png
    convert -size 390x30 -background transparent -define pango:justify=true pango:"footer 2" footer2.png
    convert -size 390x390 -background transparent -define pango:wrap=word-char pango:"main text" main.png
    
    convert -size 512x512 \
            -page +0+0 /opt/images/backgrounds/green.png  \
            -page +61+61 -size 390x390 footer1.png \
            -page +55+447 -size 390x30  footer2.png \
            -page +55+465 -size 390x30  main.png \
            -layers flatten final-image.jpg

My questions are:

1. Am I doing anything wrong?
2. Is there a Pango+IM command to align footer #1 and footer #2 to the right?
3. Is there a Pango+IM command to vertical align the main text to the bottom?

Thanks a lot for your attention!

I have not used PANGO, yet.

But for 3) add the IM command -gravity south.

You may try also -define pango:gravity=east for the alignment. But that is just a guess.

For 3), when I use -gravity south, the text goes to the bottom but it also flips. I thought it was the normal behavior of -gravity south.

For -define pango:gravity=east, it does not change anything in the text alignment. Weird, huh?

I did not know about -define pango:gravity=east, I was trying -gravity from IM, but it does not seem to be the solution to my problems since when I try to generate images in Japanese or Chinese, for instance, the text goes to the right but each character rotates 90º to east, so they look like they were lying.

-define pango:gravity=east was just a guess on my part. I suppose it does not exist.

-gravity south in the IM command should not flip the text, only move it to the bottom.

Here are the defines that affect Pango rendering: -define pango:auto-dir=true/false, -define pango:ellipsize=start/middle/end, -define pango:gravity-hint=natural/strong/line, -define pango:hinting=none/auto/full, -define pango:indent=points, -define pango:justify=true/false, -define pango:language=en_US/etc, -define pango:markup=true/false, -define pango:single-paragraph=true/false and -define pango:wrap=word/char/word-char.
