Text alignment removes text completely

Expected Behavior

Text should be aligned to center

Current Behavior

Text is not visible

Failure Information (for bugs)

image.print(font, 100, 100, text) works as intended, but if i use image.print(font, 100, 100, { text: text, alignmentX: Jimp.HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_CENTER }) the text is not visible on the image. There is no error in the console.

Here is a link to the exact code i’m using: https://pastebin.com/3VDSNLjw

Are you sure this is a bug? This works for me:

var Jimp = require('jimp');

// open a file called "lenna.png"
Jimp.read('lenna.jpg', (err, image) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  Jimp.loadFont(Jimp.FONT_SANS_64_WHITE, (err, font) => {
    var w = image.bitmap.width;
    var h = image.bitmap.height;
    let text = "foo"
    var textWidth = Jimp.measureText(font, text);
    var textHight = Jimp.measureTextHeight(font, text);
    image
      .print(font, w/2 - textWidth/2, h/2 - textHight/2,
        {   
        text: text,
        //alignmentX: Jimp.HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_CENTER,                                                                                                                      
        //alignmentY: Jimp.VERTICAL_ALIGN_MIDDLE,
        }, textWidth, textHight)
      .write('lena-small-bw.jpg'); // save
  }); 
    //.resize(256, 256) // resize
    //.quality(60) // set JPEG quality
    //.greyscale() // set greyscale
});

Maybe there should be better documentation on the topic. Took me quite some time to figure this out too.

For alignment to work properly you need to specify maxWidth and maxHeigh in your call to print().
