.
If one uses two different stroke colors and widths with -annotate, they offset differently unless -gravity is northwest
Gravity Southeast: worst
Code: Select all
text="Some Sample Text"
convert -size 581x153 xc:gray -font arial -gravity southeast -pointsize 64 \
-stroke black -strokewidth 4 -annotate +10+5 "${text}" \
-stroke white -strokewidth 1 -fill white -annotate +10+5 "${text}" \
"out1.jpg"
Gravity Center: still bad
Code: Select all
text="Some Sample Text"
convert -size 581x153 xc:gray -font arial -gravity center -pointsize 64 \
-stroke black -strokewidth 4 -annotate +10+5 "${text}" \
-stroke white -strokewidth 1 -fill white -annotate +10+5 "${text}" \
"out2.jpg"
Gravity Northwest: fine
Code: Select all
text="Some Sample Text"
convert -size 581x153 xc:gray -font arial -gravity northwest -pointsize 64 \
-stroke black -strokewidth 4 -annotate +10+5 "${text}" \
-stroke white -strokewidth 1 -fill white -annotate +10+5 "${text}" \

Any new information on this? Can anyone verify it on their system?

I get the same results, with IM v6.9.2-5 on Windows 8.1.
I have noticed this weird behaviour when I use stroke with annotate. The wider the stroke is made, the more the inside of the characters shift to the left. They shift left to the amount that makes the right-side edge of the stroke stay in the same place. It's a kind of "right-justification".
This happens only for some gravities, and the shift is always leftwards. Never rightwards or up or down. Thus, I couldn't see any reason for the behaviour.
To me, the more sensible (predictable) behaviour would be that increasing a stroke width never moves characters left, right up or down.

Has this been addressed? It still seems to fail on IM 6.9.4.4 and IM 7.0.1-6, though there seems to be a changelog entry about
2016-05-20 7.0.1-6 Cristy <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
Fixed proper placement of text annotation for east / west gravity.

Thanks for the problem report. We can reproduce it and will have a patch to fix it in GIT master branch @
https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick later today. The patch will be available in the beta releases of ImageMagick @

Thanks. This seems to be fixed in both IM 6.9.4.5 Q16 and IM 7.0.1.7 Q16
