Re: [PROPOSAL] Package 'ImageText'

Hi pearers! I'd like to propose a new package called "ImageText" which enables you to comfortably handle ttf texts in images. The package currently supports single and multiline strings, aligning and coloring per line and complete auto formating of a string in a given area. I think I'll add some more functionality in the near future. There's no documentation until now. Will follow. Examples: http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/example.php?text=0&align=left http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/example.php?text=0&align=right http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/example.php?text=0&align=center http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/example.php?text=1&align=left http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/example.php?text=1&align=right http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/example.php?text=1&align=center http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/example.php?text=2&align=left http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/example.php?text=2&align=right http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/example.php?text=2&align=center Sources: http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/example.phps http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/ImageText.phps http://www.schlitt.info/ImageText/ImageTextLine.phps Please tell me, what you think about! Regards, Toby I like the output looks like a good start. There are a coupel things i would like added

Some helper methods so you didn't have to use the gd methods directly unless you needed the extra power. Also it would be great if there were some rotation options, i think this would be useful in creating images to use as vertical/rotated column headers in tables. Currently i use some flash this on some reports i've written but it might be easier to just use a generated image in some cases.
