Ask HN: How do you generate images from text?
Don't say Gimp script-fu, because it doesn't work.
And don't say Imagemagick, because it's ugly.
Someone pinch me, is this really the 21st century?
- HardyLeung 15y agoYou can draw the text into HTML5 Canvas and then convert that to an image (toDataURL).
- mcartyem 15y ago"Draw the text"? How? Why can't I type the text and have it drawn for me?
- LarryMade 15y agoMany languages support creating image maps and then writing strings to text to it. Not that hard a process.
- mcartyem 15y agoName one. Not that hard? Show me how.
