Add text to image

[jaredgalen]

I want to superimpose some text over an image.
How would I go about doing this in java?
Is it possible?
Appreciate any help.

Check out the Java Advanced Imaging API (JAI)

One possible way to do this :

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class ImageExample {

  private Image image;

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    ImageExample example = new ImageExample();

    example.doIt();
  }

  public void doIt() {
    MyFrame f = new MyFrame("Text over image");
    getImage();
    f.setSize(500,500);
    f.setVisible(true);
  }

  public Image getImage() {
    if (image == null) {
      try {
        image = ImageLoader.loadImage("D:/images/splash.jpg");
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
      }
    }
    return image;
  }

  public class MyFrame extends JFrame {

    public MyFrame(String title) {
      super(title);
    }

    public void paint(Graphics g) {
      super.paint(g);
      g.drawImage(image, 10,10,null);
      g.setColor(Color.CYAN);
      g.drawString("text", 100, 100);
     }
    }

}

=========================================

public class ImageLoader extends Component {

  private static ImageLoader imageLoader;

  static {
    imageLoader = new ImageLoader();
  }

  private ImageLoader() {
    super();
  }

  public static Image loadImage(String imageName) throws InterruptedException {
    Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageName);
    MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(imageLoader);
    tracker.addImage(image,0);
    tracker.waitForID(0);
    return image;
  }
}
