I'd prefer PNG, but just about anything else would also be ok.

Err, load image, draw text (varying fonts, sizes colours etc) on actual
image, save modified image. Basically I want to be able to automate the
addition of text to images much like one does in the gimp, but without
the requirement of human interaction. Does that make it any clearer?

Oh, cool. I wasn't aware that imagemagick also did text. Installing
libmagick6-dev now. Thanks.

Cheers,
Erik
