how can I annotate text horizontally with imagemagick?
by rblampain from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6E6JH)
I have a lot of photos on which I am trying to "annotate" the file name horizontally at the bottom left corner of the photo.
The "convert" command insists on writing it vertically regardless of whatever I try.
I thought if I rotate the image 90 degrees and then "annotate" it and then reverse the rotating, that should fix the problem but, on the rotated image, the text displays correctly and when reversing the image, the text is back vertically.
Here is my code.
Code:convert -fill white -pointsize 126 -gravity SouthEast -annotate +150+150 %t testingtest.jpg test1.jpgTheir documentation is atrocious and not solving anything.
Any suggestion?
Thank you for your help
