Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello! What I am trying to accomplish with ImageMagick is to take a default Wallpaper.jpg file which is saved locally on a Windows 10 computer, and then customizing it by adding text at the bottom centre of the image, such as the computer name and windows image version. I searched online and couldn't find an answer, I need your help, how can I get this done? This would be used on our corporate domain computers to help users quickly identify which computer they're working on.
Thank you!

In Windows, the computer name is stored in an environment variable COMPUTERNAME. I have no idea where the "windows image version" comes from.

Hello snigbo, thank you for your response! What we plan on doing for the ''image version'' regarding patch level updates, perhaps the computer could have a text file at c:\os-updates.txt, is it possible for ImageMagick to read the content of that os-updates.txt file and write it to the out.jpg?

When a command writes text, eg "-annotate", "label:" and "caption:", the text can be in a file, and you use the file name prefixed with "@" in the command. See examples in http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/
