Leaving a note for anyone else who runs into this like I did on an Ubuntu-based system.

Couldn't for the life of me figure out why the XY offset for -annotate portion of ImageMagick to put button labels was putting them in wrong places and rotated (or italicized). Especially when the example images provided by Texacate looked fine.

There apparently was a bug in some 6.x versions of ImageMagick where negative values for XY offset would cause these rotation edits instead of the intended XY offsets. The next kicker here is that still as of this writing, 6.x is the version in the Ubuntu-based repos for ImageMagick, which means the normal update commands like

apt update

or your package manager will say you are up-to-date (even though you are not).

If you are having this issue, manually check your ImageMagick versions to see if you need to go to version 7. If so, you might need to manually download from ImageMagick Gitub and compile on your system (ImageMagick currently provides binaries for RPM-based linux systems, but they do not provide DEB-based installs).
