It will basically take two lines of text, in my case a month and day and center it on an image. CODE date_img = imageNew(img); //Create text variables img_month = UCase(dateFormat(date,"mmm")); img_day = dateFormat(date,"dd"); //Add day to image text = img_day; //Create Text Layout buffered = ImageGetBufferedImage(date_img); context = buffered.getGraphics().getFontRenderContext(); Font = createObject("java", "java.awt.Font"); // font name, style and size textFont = Font.init( "Arial", Font.BOLD, javacast("int", 13)); textLayout = createObject("java","java.awt.font.TextLayout").init(text,textfont,context); //Set Text Dimensions textBounds = textLayout.getBounds(); dimen.width = textBounds.getWidth(); dimen.height = textBounds.getHeight(); //Create Image attr = {font="Arial", size="13", style="bold"}; newx = (date_img.width/2.2 - dimen.width/2.2); newy = (date_img.height/1.6 + dimen.height/1.6); imageSetDrawingColor(date_img,"white"); imageDrawText(date_img,text,newx,newy,attr); //Add Month text = img_month; //Create Text Layout buffered = ImageGetBufferedImage(date_img); context = buffered.getGraphics().getFontRenderContext(); Font = createObject("java", "java.awt.Font"); // font name, style and size textFont = Font.init( "Arial", Font.PLAIN, javacast("int", 11)); textLayout = createObject("java","java.awt.font.TextLayout").init(text,textfont,context); //Set Text Dimensions textBounds = textLayout.getBounds(); dimen.width = textBounds.getWidth(); dimen.height = textBounds.getHeight(); //Create Image attr = {font="Arial", size="11"}; newx = (date_img.width/2 - dimen.width/2); newy = (date_img.height/2.3 + dimen.height/2.3); imageSetDrawingColor(date_img,"white"); imageDrawText(date_img,text,newx,newy,attr); The only problem that I am having is that the Arial Black text is to jagged of text. I need to sharpen it up a little bit to look more presentable. Is there another function that I could use?
