word image im imagemagick

Question

I want to create an image containing "word" as an image which is centrally assigned . I used the following command :

echo "word" | convert -font Helvetica -pointsize 32 label:@- cmd.png

but the resulting image I got does not centrally align the image and also I want to have my image automatically cropped with respect to word . I am not able to find any flag which can do so .

I have tried many flags , but not able to find anything – Deepesh May 14 '14 at 21:27 — Deepesh, May 14 '14 at 21:27

Imagemagick will attempt to grow the image size to include all the characters read from stdin. Use the -trim flag to reduce the image to the nearest pixel

echo "Words are nice" | convert -font Helvetica -pointsize 32 label:@- -trim -border 1 cmd.png

Words are nice

border added for reference
