I am new to imagemagick and have not been able to find a solution to this problem. I need to make the both the title and the labels in my montage to have the same pointsize. I have not been able to figure our how to set the title pointsize to not user the label point size has a multiplier for its point size.

Any help would be appreciated. This is what I have now:

montage -pointsize 35 -label "%t" Image1.png Image2.png Image3.png Image4.png -tile x2 -shadow -geometry +5+5 -background white -title "Title of Image" montage1.png

Don't know the answer, but if it can be done, then it should be explained at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/

You can not currently specify the pointsize for a montage title.

The pointsize setting (what ever it is set to at the end of the command) will be used for montage labels.

How about is there a way to make the title use the same point size as the labels? My problem is the title is too big, when the labels are the right size.

There is no setting for the title pointsize. Instead it defaults to 2.0 * label-pointsize.

Ok, Thanks.

Is there a way to add a "title" or label to a montage without using the title command?

I have figured out a way to do this using a 2nd convert command, but I would like to create the montage and add a "title" to it in one command.

You can add blank images with the null: filename on the montage command line. You can then add the title in yourself as a post processing step: something like 'montage -tile 3x null: null: null: *.jpg montage.pnm'.

You could leave out the -title, then add it to the montage output image using any of the image labeling methods with any font and size you like.
