One way to do this in general is to put a background color behind the font. I don't see a way to do this automatically with PIL, but you can get the size of the text: font.getsize(text) => (width, height) Then draw a rectangle of that size before you draws the text. If you (for example) draw a white rectangle, then black text, you will be able to see that on top of any color. The option is to get fancy with determining the average color of th region where the text goes, then create a color that contrasts with that. However, if your text overlaps two (or more) regions of very different colors, it may be hard to automatically get a color that contrasts with all of them. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
