To draw watermark text use an ARGB value with alpha component < 255.

This method requires the Image Documents component to run.

Example

Drawing the red text "GdPicture.Net" on a png image and saving the image using maximum compression.

using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())

{

    int imageID = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("input.png");

 

    // Draw the text in the top left corner of the image.

    gdpictureImaging.DrawText(imageID, "GdPicture.Net", 5, 5, 24, GdPicture14.FontStyle.FontStyleRegular, gdpictureImaging.ARGBI(255, 255, 0, 0), "Arial", true);

 

    // Save the output png using maximum compression.

    gdpictureImaging.SaveAsPNG(imageID, "output.png", 9, false);

    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);

}
