Write Text On a Image Using Asp.Net & C#

Introduction

This article explains how to Write a Text On Image Using Asp.Net & C#.In this article i am using some common library functions and methods.

Image Class & Bitmap Class

• The Image class is one of the example of Abstract Class
• The Bitmap class is an implementation of the Image class and it inherits from the Abstract Image class.
• After implementation we can get the Image Class functionality in Bitmap Class.

C# Code

The below code is using for Write a Text On Image.We can change the below functionalities based on our requirement.

        //creating a image object
        System.Drawing.Image bitmap = (System.Drawing.Image)Bitmap.FromFile(Server.MapPath("onam.jpg")); // set image 
        //draw the image object using a Graphics object
        Graphics graphicsImage = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap);

        //Set the alignment based on the coordinates   
        StringFormat stringformat = new StringFormat();
        stringformat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far;
        stringformat.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Far;

        StringFormat stringformat2 = new StringFormat();
        stringformat2.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;
        stringformat2.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;

        //Set the font color/format/size etc..  
        Color StringColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#933eea");//direct color adding
        Color StringColor2 = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#e80c88");//customise color adding
        string Str_TextOnImage = "Happy";//Your Text On Image
        string Str_TextOnImage2 = "Onam";//Your Text On Image

        graphicsImage.DrawString(Str_TextOnImage, new Font("arial", 40,
        FontStyle.Regular), new SolidBrush(StringColor), new Point(268, 245),
        stringformat); Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";

        graphicsImage.DrawString(Str_TextOnImage2, new Font("Edwardian Script ITC", 111,
        FontStyle.Bold), new SolidBrush(StringColor2), new Point(145, 255),
        stringformat2); Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";

        bitmap.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);

Graphics & Bitmap

A Bitmap is an object used to work with images defined by pixel data and you can draw the image object using a Graphics object.Check the below code.

         //creating a image object
        System.Drawing.Image bitmap = (System.Drawing.Image)Bitmap.FromFile(Server.MapPath("onam.jpg")); // set image 
        //draw the image object using a Graphics object
        Graphics graphicsImage = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap);

Formatting the string

Change Text Alignment based on the coordinates

        //Set the alignment based on the coordinates   
        StringFormat stringformat = new StringFormat();
        stringformat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far;
        stringformat.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Far;

        StringFormat stringformat2 = new StringFormat();
        stringformat2.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;
        stringformat2.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;

Text On Image

Set the font color,size,format.

        string Str_TextOnImage = "Happy";//Your Text On Image
        string Str_TextOnImage2 = "Onam";//Your Text On Image

        graphicsImage.DrawString(Str_TextOnImage, new Font("arial", 40,
        FontStyle.Regular), new SolidBrush(StringColor), new Point(268, 245),
        stringformat); Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";

        graphicsImage.DrawString(Str_TextOnImage2, new Font("Edwardian Script ITC", 111,
        FontStyle.Bold), new SolidBrush(StringColor2), new Point(145, 255),
        stringformat2); Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";

String Color

Adding the string color in two way..

Color StringColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;//direct color adding  
Color StringColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#933eea");//customise color adding  

Important Section

Namespace

using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;

The above namespace is contain Graphics,Bitmaps,Image Editing and Alignment,etc libraries.

OutPut
