I have an Image. On the bottom portion of the image, I would like to create a colored strip say, of height 100. I am already done with creating the strip and I can basically write strings in that portion (e.g. copyright of the image etc). The following is my method.
public static BufferedImage captionMyImage(BufferedImage sourceImage) {
int height=sourceImage.getHeight();
int width=sourceImage.getWidth();
System.out.println("Image Height: "+height);
System.out.println("Image Width: "+width);
int min=20; //fifty pixels
int newHeight=(int) (0.1*height>min ? 1.1*height : height+min);
int difference=newHeight-height;
System.out.println("new height:"+newHeight);
System.out.println("Difference:"+difference);
BufferedImage bgImage=new BufferedImage(width,newHeight,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
/**Create a Graphics from the background image**/
Graphics2D g = bgImage.createGraphics();
//g.drawRect(0, 0, width, ((int)0.1*height>min) ? (int)1.1*height : height+min);
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.fillRect(0, 0, bgImage.getWidth(), bgImage.getHeight());
g.setColor(Color.YELLOW);
/**Set Antialias Rendering**/
g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
/**
* Draw background image at location (0,0)
* You can change the (x,y) value as required
*/
g.drawImage(sourceImage, 0, 0, null);
int strX=sourceImage.getWidth()/2;
int strY=sourceImage.getHeight()+difference/2;
System.out.println("X: "+strX);
System.out.println("Y: "+strY);
g.setFont(new Font(g.getFont().getName(),Font.PLAIN,20));
g.drawString("(c)www.sanjaal.com",strX ,strY);
g.dispose();
return bgImage;
}
I know the way I have calculated the values for x and y for drawString() method is just a simple one and has problem that the text goes outside the boundary sometimes (depending on image size and text length)
I would like to make sure that the text in the image on the bottom strip that I have defined always aligns to the right portion (boundary) of the image, but does not go out of boundary. How can I achieve that? Remember the text length can be dynamic.
Would the java Graphics experts out there share your ideas on how this can be achieved?
