For anyone else who comes down this road, I found a way to do this in the videocapture.py module. Seems to work well. Here's my code adapted:
import Image, ImageFont, ImageDraw import win32api, os x, y = 10, 10 fname1 = "c:/test.jpg" im = Image.open(fname1) pointsize = 30 fillcolor = "red" shadowcolor = "yellow" text = "hi there" font = win32api.GetWindowsDirectory() + "\\Fonts\\ARIALBD.TTF" draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im) font = ImageFont.truetype(font, pointsize) # thin border draw.text((x-1, y), text, font=font, fill=shadowcolor) draw.text((x+1, y), text, font=font, fill=shadowcolor) draw.text((x, y-1), text, font=font, fill=shadowcolor) draw.text((x, y+1), text, font=font, fill=shadowcolor) # thicker border draw.text((x-1, y-1), text, font=font, fill=shadowcolor) draw.text((x+1, y-1), text, font=font, fill=shadowcolor) draw.text((x-1, y+1), text, font=font, fill=shadowcolor) draw.text((x+1, y+1), text, font=font, fill=shadowcolor) # now draw the text over it draw.text((x, y), text, font=font, fill=fillcolor) fname2 = "c:/test2.jpg" im.save(fname2) os.startfile(fname2) _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
