Hi I am having trouble with what I am creating using Imagemagick.
Here's the scripts:
convert
-size 300x300 xc:skyblue
-background none
-fill #AF280E
-stroke none
-draw "circle 150,150 75,250"
-fill white
-stroke none
-draw "circle 150,150 75,240"
-fill #D3DADF
-stroke none
-draw 'path "M 260 150 A 1 1,0,0 ,1 ,41 150"'
-fill #AF280E
-stroke none
-draw 'path "M 260 150 A 1 1,0,0 ,0 ,41 150"'
-fill white
-stroke none
-draw "rectangle 290,140 10,170"
-fill white
-stroke #AF280E
-strokewidth 5
-draw "line 10,137 290,137"
-strokewidth 40
-fill white
-stroke #D3DADF
-strokewidth 5
-draw "line 10,170 290,170"
-strokewidth 40
-fill white
-stroke none
-annotate 100,50
-draw "circle 150,150 75,150"
-background none
-font Bookman-Light
-pointsize 12
-fill navy label"arc text here"
-distort Arc 340

I wanted to place the arc text over those circles but it keeps on blinking and seems even the shapes created where arc too.
You have several mistakes in your command line with ImageMagick commands.
Lets write this a bit more readable and add writing of temp files after each step. This is Unix syntax for your code:
convert -size 300x300 xc:skyblue +write t1.png \
-background none -fill #AF280E -stroke none -draw "circle 150,150 75,250" +write t2.png \
-fill white -stroke none -draw "circle 150,150 75,240" +write t3.png \
-fill #D3DADF -stroke none -draw 'path "M 260 150 A 1 1,0,0 ,1 ,41 150"' +write t4.png \
-fill #AF280E -stroke none -draw 'path "M 260 150 A 1 1,0,0 ,0 ,41 150"' +write t5.png \
-fill white -stroke none -draw "rectangle 290,140 10,170" +write t6.png \
-fill white -stroke #AF280E -strokewidth 5 -draw "line 10,137 290,137" +write t7.png \
-strokewidth 40 -fill white -stroke #D3DADF -strokewidth 5 -draw "line 10,170 290,170" +write t8.png \
-strokewidth 40 -fill white -stroke none -annotate 100,50 +write t9.png \
-draw "circle 150,150 75,150" +write t10.png \
-background none -font Bookman-Light -pointsize 12 -fill navy label:"arc text here" +write t11.png \
-distort Arc 340 logo_2_b6.gif
Here I have fixed your code:
convert -size 300x300 xc:skyblue +write t1.png \
-background none -fill "#AF280E" -stroke none -draw "circle 150,150 75,250" +write t2.png \
-fill white -stroke none -draw "circle 150,150 75,240" +write t3.png \
-fill "#D3DADF" -stroke none -draw 'path "M 260 150 A 1 1,0,0 ,1 ,41 150"' +write t4.png \
-fill "#AF280E" -stroke none -draw 'path "M 260 150 A 1 1,0,0 ,0 ,41 150"' +write t5.png \
-fill white -stroke none -draw "rectangle 290,140 10,170" +write t6.png \
-fill white -stroke "#AF280E" -strokewidth 5 -draw "line 10,137 290,137" +write t7.png \
-strokewidth 40 -fill white -stroke "#D3DADF" -strokewidth 5 -draw "line 10,170 290,170" +write t8.png \
-strokewidth 40 -fill white -stroke none -annotate +100+50 " " +write t9.png \
-draw "circle 150,150 75,150" +write t10.png \
-background none -font Arial -pointsize 12 -fill navy label:"arc text here" -compose over -composite +write t11.png \
-distort Arc 340 logo_2_b6.gif
First, your line that ends in +write t9.png makes no sense to me. The -annotate syntax is -annotate +X+Y "some text". You have the wrong syntax for the +X+Y (you have X,Y). Second you have no text. What are you trying to do? See my equivalent line ending in t9.png. I have corrected your syntax and added some empty text, since I do not know what you are trying to do here.
Second and what fails is your label. It must be label:"some text". You left off the colon (:).
Third, that line causes you to have two versions of t11.png, namely, t11-0.png and t11-1.png. Label creates a new image. It does not write on the previous image. So you need to add -compose over -composite for it to show in a single t11.png
It also helps to look at each image created to see if it is producing the correct result for that step.
So what I get from my command is:
As fmw42 mentioned, there are several problems with your command. Consider a few improvements...
A single setting for things like fill color, stroke color, and strokewidth will work on all following operations until you need to change them. You don't have to do it that way, but it can help keep your code less cluttered.
Make your label and do the arc distort it inside parentheses to avoid distorting the rest of the logo you created earlier in the command. It's also helpful to specify the outside and maybe inside radii in that "-distort arc" operation when you make the curved text.
Your output is a GIF, so you need to "-composite" the text onto the logo graphic before writing the output, otherwise IM will make an animated GIF and your text will be blinking.
Here is a command that works for me on IMv6.8.9 running in a bash shell. It might help get you going in a good direction...
convert -size 300x300 xc:skyblue +size -background none \
-stroke none \
-fill "#AF280E" -draw "circle 150,150 75,250" \
-fill white -draw "circle 150,150 75,240" \

+repage -gravity center -composite logo_2_b6.gif
EDITED TO ADD:
I added another "label:" and adjusted the radius to make a second piece of text and make it compatible with the first. It has to be rotated before the arc distort to make the lettering proper side up.

-rotate 180 -distort Arc "360 180 115" \) \
+repage -composite logo_2_b8.gif
It can be extremely challenging to work with areas of curved text in ImageMagick. Notice I had to add spaces and do rotations to make sure both text labels matched each other in size and location of center. Different fonts, varying amounts of text, and even using the same font name on different machines can all affect the exact placement of text.
It might be helpful to study the "Circular and Radial Distortion" operations for some help creating and aligning circular images.
I want to create image watermark like Shutterstock. I have tried but not able to replicate it. I tried with the following command. The issue is for me is i not able to add diagonal random text to image as Shutterstock does. I have tried many options with no luck.

ww=$(convert -ping "$infile" -format "%[fx:w-1]" info:)
hh=$(convert -ping "$infile" -format "%[fx:h-1]" info:)

My Output is
Requirement is
In ImageMagick, you can do the following. Create a small text image on a transparent background using label:. Rotate it. Pad it to control the spacing. Tile it out to fill the image. Then composite the tiled out image over your background image.
Image:
convert lena.png \
\( -size 100x -background none -fill white -gravity center \
label:"watermark" -trim -rotate -30 \
-bordercolor none -border 10 \
-write mpr:wm +delete \
+clone -fill mpr:wm -draw 'color 0,0 reset' \) \
-compose over -composite \
lena_watermark.png
If using ImageMagick 7, then change convert to magick
See https://imagemagick.org/Usage/canvas/#tile_memory for tiling
I have a picture in which I need to create some text.
There are two regions where the text should appear. I was able to make these regions visible with the following code:
convert -verbose -pointsize 24 -font 'Arial' \
-region 200x60+90+60 -colorize 1% \
-fill white -draw "text 0,0 'Text 1'" \
+region \
-fill -region 275x35+10+10 -colorize 1% \
-fill black -draw "text 0,0 'another text'" \
+region \
${TEMPLATES_PATH}/base.bmp ${TEMPLATES_PATH}/result.bmp
But unfortunately I am not able to add text to this regions.
I tried several combinations of -background and -fill. My best guess is that the background of the region is now the same as the fill of the text. But I don't know how to change this.
convert -verbose -pointsize 24 -font 'Arial' \
-background black -region 200x60+90+60 \
-fill white -gravity center -draw "text 0,0 'Text 1'" \
+region \
-background white -region 275x35+10+10 \
-fill black -gravity center -draw "text 0,0 'another'" \
+region \
${TEMPLATES_PATH}/base.bmp ${TEMPLATES_PATH}/result.bmp
Results only in this:
With these 3 separates codes I create the following 3 images with desired size for each one. I'm failing in merging in a single command.
This code produces P1.png
convert \( \( -size 426x37 xc:"#4FA7FF" -fill black -font Calibri-Bold -pointsize 32 -gravity center -annotate +0+0 "Number 1" \) \
\( -size 426x37 xc:"#4FA7FF" -fill black -font Calibri-Bold -pointsize 32 -gravity center -annotate +0+0 "Number 2" \) \
+smush +2 -write P1.png \) null:
P1.png (854x37)
This code produces P2.png
convert \( \( -size 881x488 xc:"#FFE97F" \) \
\( -size 881x488 xc:"#00FF90" \) \
+smush +6 -resize 1180x441! -write P2.png \) null:
P2.png (1180x441)
This code produces P3.png
convert \( \( -size 1104x89! xc:"#00137F" -fill white -font Calibri-Bold -pointsize 48 -gravity center -annotate +0+0 "Different boxes" \) \
-write P3.png \) null:
P3.png (1104x89)
If I join the 3 images in an image editor visually (like Paint.net) the resulting image is of 1180x606 and the resolution is 96 pixels per inch.
How can I join these 3 commands in a single "convert" command in order the final image be of 1180x606 in size?
I've tried with this code, but I don't know how to construct the command correctly
convert \
\( -size 426x37 xc:"#4FA7FF" -fill black -font Calibri-Bold -pointsize 32 -gravity center -annotate +0+0 "Number 1" \) \
\( -size 426x37 xc:"#4FA7FF" -fill black -font Calibri-Bold -pointsize 32 -gravity center -annotate +0+0 "Number 2" \) \

mpr:boxes +swap -gravity center -smush +24 +gravity +write POut.png \) null:
The desired output is like this:
Thanks for any help.
UPDATE
When I see it in an image editor (Paint.net in my case) I can see and change resolution withot change pixel dimentions. Only dimentions of inches change.
Result.png original with Resolution=120 pixel/inch and size 1180x606
Result.png changed to Resolution=96 pixel/inch and size still is 1180x606 but inches dimentions changed
UPDATE 2
fmw42's code works fine creating from scratch 3 images and then merging them. My problem is if I use the same fmw42's script but instead to create
the yellow and green boxes I crop them from another image (source.png) the result.png is not the same. What is the issue when I add the cropped images?
I'm using this code:
convert \
source.png +repage -write mpr:img -delete 0--1 \
\( \
\( -size 1104x89! xc:"#00137F" -fill white -font Calibri-Bold -pointsize 48 -gravity center -annotate +0+0 "Different boxes" \) \
\) \
\
\( \
\( -size 426x37 xc:"#4FA7FF" -fill black -font Calibri-Bold -pointsize 32 -gravity center -annotate +0+0 "Number 1" \) \
\( -size 426x37 xc:"#4FA7FF" -fill black -font Calibri-Bold -pointsize 32 -gravity center -annotate +0+0 "Number 2" \) \
+smush +2 \
\) \
-smush +24 \
\
\( \
\( mpr:img -crop 881x488+71+376 \) \
\( mpr:img -crop 881x488+992+376 \) \
+smush +6 -resize 1180x441! \
\) \
-smush +15 \
resultX.png
This is source.png
And this is the output that is not correct
Does this do what you want? ImageMagick 6 command could be like the following as one way to do it:
convert \( \( -size 1104x89! xc:"#00137F" -fill white -font Calibri-Bold -pointsize 48 -gravity center -annotate +0+0 "Different boxes" \) \
-write P3.png \) \
\
\( \( -size 426x37 xc:"#4FA7FF" -fill black -font Calibri-Bold -pointsize 32 -gravity center -annotate +0+0 "Number 1" \) \
\( -size 426x37 xc:"#4FA7FF" -fill black -font Calibri-Bold -pointsize 32 -gravity center -annotate +0+0 "Number 2" \) \
+smush +2 -write P1.png \) \
-smush +24 \
\
\( \( -size 881x488 xc:"#FFE97F" \) \
\( -size 881x488 xc:"#00FF90" \) \
+smush +6 -resize 1180x441! -write P2.png \) \
-smush +15 \
result.png
Note that I may not have used the same font as you.

To answer your Update2 question: You need to resent the gravity with +gravity after you have used it with -gravity center. Also you need to add +repage after your crops.
convert \

\( \

With well considered use of ImageMagick's memory registers, like "mpr:something", you can simplify the construction of your entire image to something like this...
convert -gravity center -background white -font helvetica \
-size 1104x89 xc:"#00137F" -fill white -pointsize 48 \
-annotate +0+0 "Different boxes" -write mpr:diffbox +delete \
-size 426x37 xc:"#4FA7FF" xc:"#4FA7FF" -fill black -pointsize 32 \
-annotate +0+0 "Number %[fx:t+1]" +smush 2 -write mpr:numbox +delete \
-size 588x441 xc:"#FFE97F" xc:"#00FF90" +smush 4 \
mpr:numbox +insert -smush 15 mpr:diffbox +insert -smush 24 result.png
That works for me on Windows Ubuntu bash shell running ImageMagick 6.8.9-9. You'll have to specify your own font, and if you're using the same font for everything you only have to specify it once.
While searching google, we see a lot of images with a text overlay effect that claim these images are coming from shutterstock.com.
This text effect is something like the following:
https://thumb7.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/4187557/559982074/stock-vector-few-little-houses-in-the-winter-forest-landscape-flat-style-vector-seamless-pattern-559982074.jpg
I am wondering how can I use ImageMagick cli to do something similar?
Thank you very much for any help.
Ideally, you would create a watermark mask with the text effect, and composite over the source image.
Step 1: Create text effect for reuse
convert -pointsize 64 -font GeorgiaB \
-fill black -stroke white -strokewidth 2 \
-background transparent -channel A -evaluate subtract 75% \
caption:"Hello World" mask.png
Step 2: Composite text effect over other images
convert -size 500x400 plasma: mask.png \
-gravity center -compose ATop -composite output.png
There's a lot more examples of text handling & effects, as well as composite techniques over # Anthony's Usage documentation.
There are many ways to add a white area at the bottom with text. This is one. If that is not what you want, then please explain further.

Here is an alternate method to the excellent one from emcconville using Imagemagick -annotate to draw text directly on an image. I start with a small tillable image that I enlarge to 500x500 in size, before drawing the text with 50% transparency in mid gray and with a 50% transparent white outline. You can change the shades of gray and transparency as desired along with the font and pint-size. Change +0+0 to shift the locations of the text relative to the gravity center. Change -gravity to other compass locations to draw the text relative to those locations.
