One can always load the graphic into a Form instance and send #getCanvas to 
that; then message like #drawString:at:font:color: are available, after which 
you can save the modified form to a new file using #writeJPEGFileNamed:.  I 
don't see a convenience method for saving PNG, but there is a PNGReadWriter 
that should respond favorably to #nextPutImage:.

The one thing that Windows does well is device (quasi)independence.  I miss 
GDI's handling of printers.  There, I said something nice about Microsoft; that 
covers me until 2020 :)

Subject: [Pharo-project] GDLib bindings?

I wonder what would be the right way in Smalltalk to use a popular graphics 
library such as gdlib?
I use it currently from my current lisp-based web site to overlay text (using 
different fonts) on top of pre-defined png and jpeg images.
Since I didn't find any smalltalk bindings (plugins?) for the library I wonder 
maybe there are some built-in tools in Pharo/Squeak that do the same job?

Thank you,
Andrei
