Parameters

ImageID: GdPicture image identifier.
Text: Text to draw.
DstLeft: Specifies the x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle that bounds the.
DstTop: Specifies the y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle that bounds the.
FontSize: The font size in units specified by the FontSetUnit() method.
FontStyle: A member of the FontStyle enumeration.
TextColor: Color of the text. A suitable color value can be obtained by using the ARGBI() method.
FontName: The name of the font. IE: "Arial".
AntiAlias: Set to True to apply the Antialiasing algorithm else False.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration.

Remarks

To draw watermark text use an ARGB value with alpha component < 255.

This method requires the Image Documents component to run.

Example

Drawing the red text "GdPicture.Net" on a png image and saving the image using maximum compression.

using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())
{
    int imageID = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("input.png");
 
    // Draw the text in the top left corner of the image.
    gdpictureImaging.DrawText(imageID, "GdPicture.Net", 5, 5, 24, GdPicture14.FontStyle.FontStyleRegular, gdpictureImaging.ARGBI(255, 255, 0, 0), "Arial", true);
 
    // Save the output png using maximum compression.
    gdpictureImaging.SaveAsPNG(imageID, "output.png", 9, false);
    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
}
