article by our own esteemed Matt Liotta and another article that showed
a Java command line program that explained drawing text on images using
Java. With this info in hand, I created the following class:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import java.util.*;
/**
* This class accepts and input file, output file, and text
* to stamp an image with
*/
public class ImageUtils {
//maybe do something later
public void stampImage(String inFile,String outFile,String text) throws
Exception {
// load input image
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File(inFile));
Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
graphics.setFont(new Font("sansserif", Font.PLAIN, 36));
graphics.setColor(Color.black);
graphics.drawString(text, image.getWidth()/2, 46);
// save modified image
String format = "JPG";
ImageIO.write(image, format, new File(outFile));
}
}
I compiled this and placed it in the CLASSES directory in the CF
directory. I then reference the object like so:
<cfobject type="java" class="ImageUtils" name="iu" action=""> <cfset iu.stampImage(infile,outFile,myText)>
<cfset iu="">
So how 'bout that. I learned something new on the Friday before a
holiday!
