My question is straight forward. I have recently started using Im4Java, an imagemagick java wrapper, and was wondering if the API supports adding text to images. If it does, does it allow the specification of font-size, font, and color. Is there a method part of the API that supports this? If not, what might be an open source alternative?

Some one must really hate me based off the downvoting across multiple questions of mine. Anyway, I have found the methods in Im4Java's API and am posting the code with comments:

public void annotateImage()
{
    IMOperation op = new IMOperation(); //imagemagick operator for command line tools

    //draw method
    op.addImage(); //input image
    op.resize(957, 626); //resizing image
    op.pointsize(20); //size of text
    op.font("Times-New-Roman"); // font
    op.fill("Black"); //font color
    op.draw("text 500,300 'works like magic!'"); // location of text, actual text 
    op.addImage();// output image

    ConvertCmd cmd = new ConvertCmd(); //using the convert command from imagemagick
    cmd.setSearchPath("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ImageMagick-6.8.9-0"); //commands location
    FilenamePatternResolver resolver = new FilenamePatternResolver("%P/%f.jpg");

    try {
        cmd.run(op, "dest\\input.jpg", resolver.createName("dest\\output.jpg"));    
    } catch (Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
