drawstring

How to make the font size bigger in g.drawString("Hello World",10,10); ? John Snow g.setFont(new Font("TimesRoman", Font.PLAIN, fontSize)); Where fontSize is a int. The API for drawString states that the x and y parameters are coordinates, and have nothing to do with the size of the text. Because you can't count on a particular font being available, a good approach is to derive a new font from the current font. This gives you the same family, weight, etc. just larger... Font currentFont = g.getFont(); Font newFont = currentFont.deriveFont(currentFont.getSize() * 1.4F); g.setFont(newFont); You

I am using GDI+ on the server-side to create an image which is streamed to the user's browser. None of the standard fonts fit my requirements and so I want to load a TrueType font and use this font for drawing my strings to the graphics object: using (var backgroundImage = new Bitmap(backgroundPath)) using (var avatarImage = new Bitmap(avatarPath)) using (var myFont = new Font("myCustom", 8f)) { Graphics canvas = Graphics.FromImage(backgroundImage); canvas.DrawImage(avatarImage, new Point(0, 0)); canvas.DrawString(username, myFont, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), new PointF(5, 5)); return new

I try to draw a string (single character) in C# into a Bitmap at an exact position with: Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(64, 64); Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp); g.DrawString("W", font1, new SolidBrush(myColor), new Point(32,32); There is so much empty space rendered around a single letter, that I can not guess the "needed" position to draw the character to have it at the correct position at the end. By now I have the pixel exact dimension of the character (looking at bits in a separately rendered bitmap). But this information is useless, if I cannot draw the character at an exact position (e.g.

I want to use Graphics.DrawString to draw characters using individual colors. The problem is that each time I call DrawString, I have to know where to position it (either using a Point or a Rectangle) relative to the other characters. This is almost possible when taking into account the kerning and wrapping that happens when you use DrawString in a rectangle with a StringFormat. The StringFormat is important to specify alignment, wrapping, trimming, etc. Ideally I'd be able to tell DrawString how to color each character individually. The other option is if I can measure a string in a rectangle

I have tried all of the suggested ways to center text, but I can't seem to get the results I want while centering an individual character. I have a rectangle. In that rectangle I'm drawing a circle with DrawEllipse. Now I want to draw a single character inside the circle using the same rectangle and DrawString, to have it perfectly centered. Here is my basic code: StringFormat stringFormat = new StringFormat(); stringFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center; stringFormat.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center; using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(xImage)) { g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode

I'm using GDI+ in C++. (This issue might exist in C# too). I notice that whenever I call Graphics::MeasureString() or Graphics::DrawString(), the string is padded with blank space on the left and right. For example, if I am using a Courier font, (not italic!) and I measure "P" I get 90, but "PP" gives me 150. I would expect a monospace font to give exactly double the width for "PP". My question is: is this intended or documented behaviour, and how do I disable this? RectF Rect(0,0,32767,32767); RectF Bounds1, Bounds2; graphics->MeasureString(L"PP", 1, font, Rect, &Bounds1); graphics-
