I have came up with this:
montage -background Orange -label "Faerie Dragon" -gravity South test.png -geometry "100%" -font TREBUC.ttf -pointsize 25 out.png
It adds text "Fearie Dragon" with font Trebuchet in size 25 on orange background below the image test.png and doesn't scale original image.
The only problem is: how can I put the text above the image not below? Gravity
option doesn't seem to do anything.
You can put the annotation on the upper side of the image using convert instead
of montage
with the following command:
convert test.png -pointsize 25 -gravity North -background Orange -splice 0x32 -annotate +0+4 "Faerie Dragon" out.png
This is the output of your command with montage
:
This is the output of the command with convert
:
Starting from a 400x300 image both commands generate a 400x332 image.
