| 
| What I want to do:

| Place three texts in three different places on the image using just one command.
| 
| 
| What I type:
| 
| convert image.png -pointsize 40 -fill white -gravity center -annotate
| +100+150 MAINTITLE -gravity center -annotate +200+250 Text -gravity
| center -annotate +300+350 logo image-with-text.png
| 
| 
| What happens:
| 
| The first text ("MAINTITLE") is printed where I tell it to.
| However, the two other texts are printed as if the "+250" and "+350"
| parts are totally ignored.
| The result is a file where "Text" and "logo" is next to each other on
| the same line.
| 
| 
| I know I am doing something wrong but what is it?
| 
| Thanks!

The real problem is that -gravity not only defines 'justification'
but also 'positioning'.    This is a real pain!
