East/West Gravity Incorrect Y Position

A simple test will shows both East and West gravity slightly higher then Center gravity.

Code: Select all

convert -size 120x120 xc:white -gravity northwest -annotate 0 'NorthWest' -gravity west -annotate 0 'West' -gravity east -annotate 0 'East' -gravity center -annotate 0 'Center' -gravity south -annotate 0 'South' -gravity northeast  -annotate 0 'NorthEast' gravity_text.jpg
I was able to reproduce this on ImageMagick 6.9.3-0 and 6.9.3-10. I did not test on 7+.

Center gravity centers in two directions left / right, top / bottom.

I realize that...East and West gravity have changed and do not center vertically compared to Center gravity. There is an odd offset. Previously in <6.9 this problem did not occur.

I can verify that center text is slightly lower in y than east or west text. I am using 6.9.4-2 Q16 (non-hdri) Mac OSX. Same with IM 7.0.1.4 Q16 (non-hdri). Below I specify the font and pointsize rather than take the system default.

Code: Select all

convert -size 120x120 xc:white -font arial -pointsize 12 -gravity northwest -annotate 0 'NorthWest' -gravity west -annotate 0 'West' -gravity east -annotate 0 'East' -gravity center -annotate 0 'Center' -gravity south -annotate 0 'South' -gravity northeast  -annotate 0 'NorthEast' gravity_text.jpg

Thanks for the problem report. We can reproduce it and will have a patch to fix it in GIT master branch @ https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick later today. The patch will be available in the beta releases of ImageMagick @ http://www.imagemagick.org/download/beta/ by sometime tomorrow.

Great, thank you! Will this be back ported to 6.9?

It should be in the next release of both IM 6.9.4.x and 7.0.1.x. It will not be backported to an existing release x.
