"Drop shadow" effect and text on image using JAI

O

Olivier

Hi,

I'd like to add a "drop shadow" effect and put some text on an image
file using JAI. Is it possible ?

Instead, should I use Java2D API and BufferedImage ?

Thanks in advance.

Olivier.

Artificially generated shadows on fonts don't look to great. If you can
afford it, license a TrueType font designed for having a shadow.

If you can't use the Java 2D API for generating something.
