Question

I'm trying to place an overlay image of a specific size on a background at a location slightly offset from a gravity position. Is there a way to create a composite image that uses geometry to size and offset an overlaid image from a gravity origin? I've tried the following and the overlaid image is sized and positioned at the gravity location but it is not offset.

const int overlaySizeX = 120;
const int overlaySizeY = 130;
const int overlayOffsetX = -40;
const int overlayOffsetY = 20;
using (var image = new MagickImage(backgroundImage))
{
	var readSettings = new MagickReadSettings { Format = MagickFormat.Png };
	using (var overlay = new MagickImage(foregroundImage, readSettings))
	{
		var geometry = new MagickGeometry(overlayOffsetX, overlayOffsetY, overlaySizeX, overlaySizeY);
		overlay.Resize(geometry);
		image.Composite(overlay, Gravity.North, CompositeOperator.Atop);
		image.Write(output);
	}
}

Here is what I want to do, written in command line requests:

>magick convert -resize 50X35 logo-sm.png logo-smaller.png
>magick composite -gravity center logo-smaller.png -compose atop -geometry -243-167 mountains.jpg cmdOverlaidWizMountains.png

Thanks for your help and for the great library.

Those commands look like IM6 commands due to their order. Setting .Page on the image might help.

Thanks for your response.
The command line is just a demonstration of what I want to do accomplish with your library at the top code box. I read some other issues and questions on stack overflow where you said that you would be able to translate the command lines to c# calls to your library so I figured I'd put the command lines in as a sample.

The command line commands work fine when run against the images provided with the imagemagick installation.
My problem is, in c#, I can't seem to make the geometry offset occur. The overlay is resized but stays at the gravity position.

Yesterday I was on my phone and didn't dig through the code. It turns out that this is not possible yet. It should be very easy to add though. But I don't know when I will publish a new release so it might be a while before this becomes available. When do you need it?

[csalahub]

Brilliant. Thanks so much for the new methods. I'm looking forward to your next release and in the mean time I'll try out the development package.

Tried out some composite gravity offset tests against your dev package and it works perfectly. Thanks again for the enhancements. We're looking to incorporate the changes as soon as your 7.13.0.0 is released. Any plans or schedule on when this will be? I noticed that previous releases were anywhere between 3-5 weeks apart. Thanks for your help.

I have not set schedule or plan for doing a new release. Will try to do it this weekend.

``Hi,
I juste start with this package. And I need you to more information.
I would like to convert this command line
composite.exe -geometry +4+0 test.jpg template_portrait.gif test_final.jpg
To C#

Can you help me please?

Regards
