How to add text to a picture dynamically?

[MrRalphMan]

Hi All,

 

It's been a while since I'f been here, but I though I would throw a question to the more them capable people on here.

 

I have a template, attached, for my Retropie setup and would like to tailor this for the individual games. Potentially I would like a script that I can use to add Text to specifical locations on an image.

If that can be run on the Pi, then that would be good, but if it runs on Windows I can pre create them.

 

So being able to call it like or at least wrap it in a script.

 

./addTextToPhoto.xx --image "myimage.jpg" --outputImage "outputImage.jpg" --game "Choplifter" --button1 "Fire"

 

or

 

./addText.xx --image "myImage.jpg" --text "Choplifter" --location 450,50 --size 45

Is there anything out there that I can create these dynamically or am I stuck doing these one by one in GIMP?

 

Cheers
