Try image magick (in your SuSE dvd). E.g.: $ mogrify image.jpg -text 'text 100,100 "%f"' will draw "image.jpg" (the file name) on image coords 100,100. You could decode the file name as you prefer on a perl script and have IM place the decoded annotation somewhere in the image. HTH On Sunday 16 January 2005 08:30, Maura Edelweiss Monville wrote:
Please, can someone help me add a text string to a picture through Gimp or ... any other suitable tool ? I produce plenty of 3-D simulations output images. Then I display each one full-screen and take a screenshot ("png" file). I need to record for each image the simulation parameters it represents. I encode such parameters values in the image filename. But when we display many images on the screen it's hard to remember the single filename so the generating parameters. Sometimes the difference is very subtle. It would be nice to write such string on a corner of the "pdf" of "png" image. Thank you in advance.
