Text -> pic?

[Lasse Edsvik]

Hello

I was wondering if you guys could show me a short simple example how to get
a known text saved to file.jpg with a font and size?

Im using C#
TIA

Hi Lasse:

You'll want to create a new Bitmap class from System.Drawing, and then
use a Graphics instance to draw into the Bitmap, which you can then
save.

This would look approximately like:

Bitmap drawing = new Bitmap(320, 200, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(drawing);
graphics.DrawString("Hello" , font, brush, x, y);
drawing.Save("hello.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);


And don't forget to Dispose both Graphics and Bitmap objects.

HTH,
