That would be the preferred option: we already have a suitable JPEG for the
system we use now.

Thanks- you guys are so helpful to a clue-impaired newbie.

|How about this:
|
|from PIL import Image, ImageFont, ImageDraw, ImageChops
|
|im = Image.open("test.jpg")
|im.thumbnail((128, 12, Image.ANTIALIAS)
|
|font = ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf", 30)
|
|def AddOverlay(im, origin, text, angle=-45):
| # Create an overlay with white text and subtract it from the image.
| # This effectively blacks out the area to be overlaid.
| overlay = Image.new(im.mode, im.size)
| draw = ImageDraw.Draw(overlay)
| draw.text(origin, text, (255, 255, 255), font=font)
| overlay = overlay.rotate(angle)
| stamped = ImageChops.subtract(im, overlay, 1, 0)
|
|
| # Now create a red overlay and add it to the subtracted image
| overlay = Image.new(im.mode, im.size)
| draw = ImageDraw.Draw(overlay)
| draw.text(origin, text, (255, 0, 0), font=font)
| overlay = overlay.rotate(angle)
| stamped = ImageChops.add(stamped, overlay, 1, 0)
| return stamped
|
|stamped = AddOverlay(im, (10, 50), "SOLD!")
|stamped.show()

Yep- that works a treat. Incidentally, why do I need to remove the text
area before overwriting it? Or am I missing the point?
