Image with Text

This class makes it super easy to render images with multiple, independently styled text blocks. You can control each text block's alignment, color, font, line height, and size. You may also position each text block with specific X and Y coordinates relative to the source image.

Installation

Install this library with Composer. Add this to your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "nmcteam/image-with-text": "~2.0"
    }
}

Then run composer install.

Usage

Here's a quick demonstration. You can find this full working demo in the example/ directory.

<?php
require '../vendor/autoload.php';

// Create image
$image = new \NMC\ImageWithText\Image(dirname(__FILE__) . '/source.jpg');

// Add styled text to image
$text1 = new \NMC\ImageWithText\Text('Thanks for using our image text PHP library!', 3, 25);
$text1->align = 'left';
$text1->color = 'FFFFFF';
$text1->font = dirname(__FILE__) . '/Ubuntu-Medium.ttf';
$text1->lineHeight = 36;
$text1->size = 24;
$text1->startX = 40;
$text1->startY = 40;
$image->addText($text1);

// Add another styled text to image
$text2 = new \NMC\ImageWithText\Text('No, really, thanks!', 1, 30);
$text2->align = 'left';
$text2->color = '000000';
$text2->font = dirname(__FILE__) . '/Ubuntu-Medium.ttf';
$text2->lineHeight = 20;
$text2->size = 14;
$text2->startX = 40;
$text2->startY = 140;
$image->addText($text2);

// Render image
$image->render(dirname(__FILE__) . '/destination.jpg');
