Hello,

I am running the following command:

montage -fill "#000ff0" -background white -font 'American-Typewriter-Light' -pointsize 25 label:"beach" label:"bull run" label:"farm" label:"fighters" -mode Concatenate -tile 1x4 button_navigation_normal.png

To my surprise, "beach" is printed twice. Just like bull run, farm and fighters.

Any idea why it is so and what I should do to get rid of that repeat?

Thanks!

Use "+set label" before "-mode Concatenate".

See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/#label

More specifically label: not only draws the string in an image, but also sets the 'label' meta-data for that image. Montage uses label meta-data for labeling the images it displays.

Another alternative is to use +append to append the images together, in convert.

Thank you very much for your explanation. I did not know about this meta-data and all is clear now.
