Imagemagick label issue

Question

I am using imagemagick 6.2.8 and i want to add a label at the bottom of the image aligned on the right side.

this is my code:

convert image.png -gravity center -background "#f0f0f0" -font bgothm.ttf -pointsize 18 label:"text text" -append "append_image.png"

however the label is aligned to the left

How can i align the label to the right?

Edit: I found this: Before IM v6.4.7 it was much more difficult to align appended images, and generally involved using a "-flop" for right alignment. Or using "-extent" or "-border" to adjust the image width for centered aligned appends. But i never used imagemagick

Answer 1

Edit: I have updated my solution to work with your ImageMagick version.

Do the double -flop trick. One flop to mirror the text, so it will be right aligned and one flop to mirror the append to make it readable:

convert image.png -background "#f0f0f0" -font bgothm.ttf \
  -pointsize 18 label:"text text" -flop -append -flop "append_image.png"

Produces this image for me. Please note that the order of -flop -append -flop do matter!

But still, a better solution would be to upgrade ImageMagick to >= 6.4.7 and use -gravity SouthEast:

convert image.png -gravity SouthEast -background "#f0f0f0" -font bgothm.ttf \
  -pointsize 18 label:"text text" -append "append_image.png"

Answer 2

To align bottom-right, use -gravity southeast.

convert image.png -gravity southeast -background "#f0f0f0" -font bgothm.ttf -pointsize 18 label:"text text" -append "append_image.png"
