I need to add text string to a TIFF image. I am planning to use libTIFF for editing the TIFF image. The plan is to convert text to image using freetype2 and then somehow render the text image on to TIFF. Is this the right approach?
Any pointers on how to convert text to image? I saw the sample code of ft2 - initialising the library, creating face and then setting character sizes. But not sure what to do next? any pointers appreaciated.
