write text as image

[Dragon]

Hi,

Does anyone know of any examples for writing text into images? I have a
program that collects some system information and I would like to write that
text into a BMP or JPG file.

Thank you.

Dim b As New Bitmap(100, 100, ...)
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromIm age(b)
g.DrawString(.. .)
g.Dispose()
b.Save(...)

Tested this and it works ;)

Dim img As System.Drawing. Bitmap
Dim canvas As System.Drawing. Graphics

' Create a blank image.
img = New System.Drawing. Bitmap( _
200, _
200, _
System.Drawing. Imaging.PixelFo rmat.Format32bp pArgb _
)

Try
' Create the canvas.
canvas = System.Drawing. Graphics.FromIm age(img)

' Paint a background.
canvas.Clear(Sy stem.Drawing.Co lor.White)

' Draw the "Hello World!" string.
canvas.DrawStri ng( _
"Hello World!", _
New System.Drawing. Font("Verdana", 12), _
System.Drawing. Brushes.Black, _
10, _
10 _
)

' Save the image to disk.
img.Save( _
"C:\HelloWorld. jpg", _
System.Drawing. Imaging.ImageFo rmat.Jpeg _
)
img.Save( _
"C:\HelloWorld. bmp", _
System.Drawing. Imaging.ImageFo rmat.Bmp _
)
Finally
' Cleanup.
If Not canvas Is Nothing
canvas.Dispose( )
End If
img.Dispose()
End Try


HTH,

There is an example of creating high resolution image files with text in the
GDI+ FAQ.
