Hello Dominic,
Sorry for the late reply, but I'm still on vacation :) (I check my mail
like once a week)
And yes you can add text to an image - don't know about the tiltle thing, I
never used printomatic, but I suppose you can...
OK, for the text thing...
Make a new text member and name it tempTxt (or wathever).
Now for some code... (this will add it to the bottom, centered)
Don't know if it works, haven't tested... but I suppose it does.
--------------------------------------------------------------
on addText currentImage -- currentImage is a string that represents the
membername
member("tempTxt").text = currentImage -- you'll have to decide how to
obtain "currentImage"
textToAdd = member("tempTxt").image
MySpacing = 5 -- spacing from the bottom
MyImageWidth = member(currentImage).width
MyImageHeight = member(currentImage).height
MyTextWidth = textToAdd.width
MyTextHeight = textToAdd.height
MyLeft = (MyImageWidth / 2) - (MyTextWidth / 2) -- I suppose you can
figure out this simple math
MyTop = (MyImageHeight) - MySpacing - MyTextHeight -- to adjust it to
your needs
MyRight = (MyImageWidth / 2) + (MyTextWidth / 2) -- BTW...This is for
calculating the destination rect
MyBottom = (MyImageHeight) - MySpacing
MyDestRect = rect(MyLeft, MyTop, MyRight, MyBottom) -- make a new rect
with the values obtained
MySourceRect = member("tempTxt").rect -- Just for clarity
member(currentImage).image.copyPixels(textToAdd, MyDestRect, MySourceRect,
[#ink: 8]) -- you can change the ink if you want a background or something
end addText
-------------------------------------------------------
Have fun, I know I will ;)
Chris
