GraphicsMagick text issues
I'm trying to either add text to an existing image using GM, or as a last resort create a new image with text that I can then composite with the original image. For some reason, I cannot seem to getting working...
I'm using GM 1.3.21 Q8 on Windows.
I found that this generates an white image with black text, but neither the gravity nor pointsize is making a difference.
gm convert -background white -size 1480x50 -fill black -font Arial -pointsize 8 -gravity Center label:"Center this text" label.jpg
I can't get anything to happen, ever with the -draw text command. The sample in the GM help doesn't actually do anything.
At this point, I'm a little lost, and can't seem to locate an on-line resource that helps me out. There is a great page for IM (http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/), is there a similar one for GM? Or am I attempting this all wrong?
Along these lines:
gm convert -size 400x100 xc:yellow -fill black -pointsize 72 -gravity Center -draw 'text 0,0 "some text"' image.png
