<meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems. The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images automagically and dynamically."/>

</div>
<p>AnnotateImage() annotates an image with text. Optionally you can include any of the following bits of information about the image by embedding the appropriate special characters:</p>
<pre class="text">
b file size in bytes.
c comment.
d directory in which the image resides.
e extension of the image file.
f original filename of the image.
h height of image.
i filename of the image.
k number of unique colors.
l image label.
m image file format.
n number of images in a image sequence.
o output image filename.
p page number of the image.
q image depth (8 or 16).
q image depth (8 or 16).
s image scene number.
t image filename without any extension.
u a unique temporary filename.
w image width.
x x resolution of the image.
y y resolution of the image.
</pre>
<p>The format of the AnnotateImage method is:</p>
<pre class="code">
