Creating text on images

[morphex]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a script that will superimpose text on an image.
I didn't find any great examples out there on how this can be done (I
presume using PIL is necessary), do you know of any examples?
Thanks,

Morten

Hi,

something like this?

###
from PIL import Image, ImageFont, ImageDraw
import sys

im = Image.open(YOUR_IMAGE_HERE)
idraw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
idraw.text((1,1),"Hello", fill=128)
im.save(YOUR_NEW_IMAGE_HERE, IMAGE_TYPE)

Yes, something like that. I was a bit confused when it came to using
truetype fonts, but that was straightforward enough (just pass font
objects to the text method).
