In this snippet tutorial we're going to be adding on to our series of
C# image editing tutorials. This tutorial is going to provide the code
required to do basic text drawing including anti-aliasing and text
alignment.
For more information on C# image editing, check out our previous two tutorials: C# Tutorial - Image Editing: Saving, Cropping, and Resizing and C# Tutorial - Image Editing: Rotate.
Ok, let's get started. The first thing we need to do is get a
Bitmap
object from an image file.Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap("C:\\myImage.jpg");
Now that we have a
Bitmap
object we can get a Graphics
object from it. The Graphics
object will be doing all of our text drawing.
