Writing Transport text

Hi,

  I'm not sure if the "SynGdiPlus" is the write thing to use, but Can I use it to write a transparent text on the image?

mostly for JPG and PNG

Thank you for your great work.

Transparent text on an image?

You can do that by using the Canvas.TextOut method of a bitmap, and setting the brush to bsClear so that no background is painted.

Use SynGdiPlus if you want to load/save it as JPG, PNG or GIF.

I was looking for more than just transparent text, it's like writing text with semi transparent or gradient text.

it's more than simple Canvas.Textout can do, something like GDI+ effects that used by .Net

OK so SynGDI plus may help you.

But there are a lot of GDI+ methods missing yet. I only coded what I needed for my purpose.

It's not difficult to continue adding methods to SynGDIPlus to have all GDI+ extended text drawing at hand.
