Text to image?

[Diana (Cda)]

I've been using Irfanview to do this but it's not automatic. Was wondering if AI could convert a text file to a graphic BMP, JPG or GIF?

go and take a look at _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString() in the helpfile

cheers

The method depends on the desired result? The format of the result? Just black text on white background? The amount of text? blah blah blah... devil is in the details... short answer is yes.

I must be doing something wrong because this isn't in the helpfile. I search for it completely, as you stated above, then searched for "GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString" by itself. What should I be searching for to bring this up?

Thx.

Make sure you're opening the AutoIt.chm helpfile and not the AutoIt3.chm.

The AutoIt.chm contains the UDF functions as well as the regular functions in AutoIt3.chm

go in the UDF section and you'll find it under _GDIplus funcs

or just write it in scite... save the file as a script, move on the line where the func is and press F1

I think the main problem you are having with this thread

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=605252

and this thread is you are using AutoIt v3.2.10.0.

AutoIt v3.2.12.1 is the current release and all the advice given refers to the current release with all the relevant functions and help file.

If you are already using AutoIt v3.2.12.1, disregard this post. It's not the first time today I've been wrong.
