Note that the 1 pixel offset is optional. You could use 2 or more and
get a thicker black border. It might even be nicer looking if you did
all eight directions.

Here's an example with code:
http://webbytedd.com/b/watermark/
Cheers,
tedd
This is what I'm doing, it seems to work -
$im=imagecreatefromjpeg($impath);
$text_font="LT_51250.TTF";
imageantialias($im, true);
$imw=imagesx($im);
$imy=imagesy($im);
$string="© " . $somestring;
$lbox=imageftbbox($fontsize, 0, $text_font, $string);
$color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255,255,255);
$bcolor = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0,0,0);
imagefttext($im,$fontsize,0,($xcord - 1),$ycord,$bcolor,$text_font,$string);
imagefttext($im,$fontsize,0,($xcord + 1),$ycord,$bcolor,$text_font,$string);
imagefttext($im,$fontsize,0,$xcord,($ycord - 1),$bcolor,$text_font,$string);
imagefttext($im,$fontsize,0,$xcord,($ycord + 1),$bcolor,$text_font,$string);
imagefttext($im,$fontsize,0,$xcord,$ycord,$color,$text_font,$string);
header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($im);
imagedestroy($im);
where $impath is the filesystem path to where image is stored, $xcord is
x coordinate, $ycord is y coordinate.
It does it very nicely.
(I changed font to helvetica - it seems to work a little better for this
than lucida mono, largely because it isn't monospace).

What kind of font is it? Your PHP may not have support for true type fonts.

The 4 black prints are done with a 1 pixel offset in each direction of the compass. This will produce the nice black outline that has the shape of the font itself and ensures the text can be seen on any background. The results of the suggestion - http://www.shastaherps.org/images/9-2.jpg You can see how that would be a problem w/o the outline with the text in lower right hand corner, and see how the outline works wonders.

Re: [PHP] Watermarking of images
I haven't used GD lib yet. But I can suggest one thing, that is printing a layer of color under the text to be printed could be a saver. I dont know how translucency is made but thats another way to make better WaterMarks as well. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
