 You realize of course that a JPEG file is usually a picture?Originally posted by javadeveloperCan anybody help me with the code regarding how to convert a text file to JPG file... Its really urgent for me.. I was able to convert a text file to PDF.. But now I need to convert a text file to JPEG..
 Perhaps if you specify what your conversion rules are ...

 So you want to create a JPG image using Java code and have the text displayed as part of the image?Originally posted by javadeveloperActually i need to read data from a file(with no extensions) in a folder and get the text in it written as an image.. I am able to read the contents of the file.. But i am not sure about how to put the text as JPEG file..
 There is a com.sun.image.c odec.jpeg package. I don't know what it does but you can go ahead and read about it.Comment

 I have got a little bit of a problem.. I am unable to convert the whole text file to a single image file.. It gets stored as a number of images.. Moreover I get into problems with alignment.. Can anybody help? I am using BuffferedImage class to generate the image.. is there any other possible way???Comment

 is there a way to read text file line by line and write it as a jpg file line by line using java.. need not be too complex.. but i expect something which can do it perfectly.. i m getting problems in alignment in my algorithm.. would be very thankful for any sort of solution in java.. i had been breaking my head to get this perfect..Comment

 Perhaps if you post the code you've written that is not aligning, I (for one) might be able to understand what you are trying to do.Originally posted by javadeveloperis there a way to read text file line by line and write it as a jpg file line by line using java.. need not be too complex.. but i expect something which can do it perfectly.. i m getting problems in alignment in my algorithm.. would be very thankful for any sort of solution in java.. i had been breaking my head to get this perfect..Comment

 A code I got in the net.. But it creates a number of images.. It was designed so as to create PSP size images(480x272) .. I modified it to get 800x600 image.. And it creates a number of images without proper alignment... I need a single 800x600 image for a file..Comment
