This is the complete code which displays the text perfectly in GREEN with NO border. I am at a loss. Terry
<cfscript> width = 330; height = 150; text = "Crossfade"; // Create a new image that supports transparency transparentImage = ImageNew("", width, height, "argb"); graphics = ImageGetBufferedImage(transparentImage).createGraphics(); // Add rendering hints to smooth text edges RenderingHints = createObject("java", "java.awt.RenderingHints"); graphics.setRenderingHint( RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON ); graphics.setRenderingHint( RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING, RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY ); // Create a graphical representation of the text Font = createObject("java", "java.awt.Font"); textFont = Font.init("Arial", Font.PLAIN, width / 5 ); fontContext = graphics.getFontRenderContext(); layout = createObject("java", "java.awt.font.TextLayout").init(text, textFont, fontContext); // Center text outline transX = (width/2) - (layout.getBounds().getWidth()/2); transY = (height/2) + layout.getDescent(); transform = createObject("java", "java.awt.geom.AffineTransform").init(); transform.setToTranslation( 5, 100 ); // Draw the text outline onto the image shape = layout.getOutline(transform); // fill in the text Color = createObject("java", "java.awt.Color"); graphics.setColor( Color.decode("##80aa1c") ); graphics.fill( shape ); // create a thin border stroke = createObject("java", "java.awt.BasicStroke").init( 5 ); graphics.dispose(); </cfscript> <cfoutput> <!--- display raw image ---> <cfimage source="#transparentImage#" action="writeToBrowser"> <!--- display WITH background ---> <div style="background-color: ##000080; width: #width#; height=#height#;"> <cfimage source="#transparentImage#" action="writeToBrowser"> </div> </cfoutput> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:349972 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
