Hi!

I have SVG image and i'm trying to put text on it - horizontally and vertically centered, like this:

convert old_book_cover_1.svg -font Ubuntu-Regular -bordercolor black -fill "#C8B56D" -gravity Center -pointsize 32 -size 540x caption:"Olivia Newton-John" -pointsize 72 -gravity Center -size 540x caption:"Gorączka Sobotniej Nocy" -append -resize 600x +noise gaussian out.png

It works quite cool, but the text is situated UNDER whole original image.

I'm quite new at IM, and sorry it my mistake is obvious.

Regards!

Caption creates its own image and needs to be composited over your original image. If you do not want to do the compositing, then use -annotate or -draw, but they will not autofill. See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/

Untested, but try something like:

Code: Select all

convert old_book_cover_1.svg \
\( -background none -font Ubuntu-Regular -bordercolor black -fill "#C8B56D" \
-gravity Center -pointsize 32 -size 540x caption:"Olivia Newton-John" \
-pointsize 72 -size 540x caption:"Gorączka Sobotniej Nocy" -append \) \
-compose over -composite -resize 600x +noise gaussian out.png

Or separate each caption: command in its own parenthesis, clone and append, delete the pre appended images, then composite over the input.

Perfect!

Many thanks!
