So i am trying to create a montage of multiple check images. I want to create text under each image of the pertinent info of each check.

I am using montage, but using label within this only creates centered text. I have tried using gravity, but this only seems to affect the images, and not the text underneath them. Any ideas?

I have also tried using the label parameter on each check, using convert, before going into the montage step. This only creates issues with resizing during the montage portion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think montage will allow anything but center aligned text. However, you can do most of the framing and labelling ahead of time and then feed the results to montage.





convert zelda3.png lena2.png -set filename:fname "%t" \
-bordercolor SkyBlue -mattecolor DodgerBlue -frame 3x3+0+3 \
-gravity South -background Skyblue -splice 0x15 -font Arial -pointsize 12 \
-gravity southwest -annotate +2+0 "%[filename:fname]" \
-frame 6x6+3+0 miff:- | montage -background none -geometry +2+2 - montage_test.png

The Future...
Eventually I want to be able to generate montage like 'grids' of images from "magick" command (The IMv7 "convert" replacement). Not just grids, but lines of variable sized images, or columns, or other 'packing' or 'layout' methods.

Currently "convert" is limited to using '-append', or by using some heavy processing, 'image layering' to layout images.

We have seen some recent examples of advanced programmed positioning images in a grid using -set page and some knowledge of the image tile size.
