Help /text 2 png Plugin

Convert text into a png image using GD without using WikiPluginCached?. The images are stored in a private <PHPWIKI_DIR>/images/<LANG> subdirectory instead, which are not timestamp checked at all. Delete the .png file(s) if you change anything.

This is a really simple and stupid plugin, which might need some work.

Usage

  <?plugin text2png text="some text" ?>

Arguments

text

some text to display

lang

language subdirectory

_force

set to 1 to recreate the image

fontsize

18. with GD1 it's the pixelsize, with GD2 the pointsize

with_shadow

1

fontcolor

1. 000000

shadowcolor

1. AFAFAF

backcolor

1. ffffff

Configurable Options

See the sourcecode. You'd probably need to adjust $ttfont and text2png_debug.

Example

<?plugin text2png text='Hello WikiWorld!' ?>

would produce:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ImageTypes() in /WebSites/danm.ucsc.edu/wikifiles/lib/plugin/text2png.php on line 79
