Write text to picture and save it

Hi!
What I want to do is to write a text (e.g. a date) to a picture. It should be displayed in picture control and saved to jpeg-file.
Aquiring the image and saving it works well. But how do I write text to it??? I do not have the Vision-toolkit. Is there any other way??
Thanks

Hi,
Saving the contents on the picture control to a jpg can be done using the Invoke node "Get Image" method. This will return the parameters required for the "Write JPEG File.vi".
I have attached a VI to demonstrate this....
P.S Its another one of those LabVIEW things that is straightforward, but is mind boggling to figure out yourself. =)

Ipad takes photo every time I close the cover of its case. When I close the cover - it really does take a picture and saves a photo. Luckly, it make a click, and pictures are seen in the photo album, and it does not appear to be forwarding.

When I close the cover - it really does take a picture and saves a photo. Luckly, it make a click, and pictures are seen in the photo album, and it does not appear to be forwarding. It is just gobbling memory and annoying as I can only delete these pictures one at a time.

It seems to take a picture of the counter top = I do not see the keyboard.
I am wondering ....It may be a kids game app that takes pictures of the screen or out the back camera. I am starting to think it may just be a sound effect when placing the iPad on its screen. So many things that may be unrelated but coincedental. It started in May (the sound) and so did the multiple pictures - starting to think they are not related.
Thanks for the quick tip on deleting multiple pictures.

I had paid for service to sign pdf, write text on pdfs and convert to word and back etc. Its now asking me to pay for a new service to be able to convert pdf to word, what is going on here?

Can i zoom into a picture and save the picture at that view, can i zoom into a picture and save the picture at that view

Can I zoom into a picture and save it at that close up view?

The simple answer is, "Yes". Use Aperture's crop tool to create a Version that shows only the part you want to be visible.
Instructions on using the Crop tool are here.
If that isn't what you want, post back.

Error Message when trying to copy a picture and save it

Hi,
We have just recently started having this problem. When we are trying to copy and save any pictures or screens a pop-up comes up stating one of 2 things. One is regarding something about the remote connection or we get 'access denied'... These are not protected things we are trying to copy, it is on everything we try to copy and save.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Seems like it might be a firewall issue or a service may not be started. Please follow these instructions carefully.
1. Note the exact computer-clock time of such an error.

Get the sales order text from ITS and save it in SAP.

Hi,
I have created an application to create sales order from ITS. In this app i'm having a text field to fet the header text for the order. & after that I'm calling an RFC which has a BAPI to create the sales order.
Now, when i enter the text for header texts in frontend (separated by ENTER), then it saves only the first line of the text.
I've tried using :
SPLIT ordernotes AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf INTO TABLE t_ordnotes.
and using FM: CREATE_TEXT,
but still, it is saving only the first line.
Can anyone please help me with this ?????
Its urgent.
Thanks in advance,
Hemant.

Trying to overlay text onto images and save them.

What I want: I have a computer running the media in my car and I want to hook up a camera to it that'll record when the computer is running and overlay the GPS speed onto the video for later viewing.
What I got: I have the following piece of code that saves a series of .jpg images at a specified frame rate and a separate Java application that puts them together into a .mov file to view later. I couldn't find anything to record the straight video so if you have any links for that, please point me. But for now I'll settle for doing it this way and I'm not too concerned with the GPS speed NMEA parsing for now, I'll just use a static speed label until I get the overlaying working.
What I need: I need to know what to plug into the speedOverlay() method in order to grab the image and put the speed on top of it before saving it and moving to the next image. Any ideas?

Sorry guys, I haven't looked at your links yet but I will, once I get some time to sit down and code again. I just wanted to provide this piece of code that uses the Graphics2d you're talking about to overlay text onto an image but I haven't been able to plug it into my code at all. If you're links answer the question, I'm sorry, just providing it until I can actually sit down and spend time on the research you've given me. Thanks.

How do you resize a image/picture and save it?

Hello, I know how to resize a image. But how do I save a new image/pictures has Jpeg with new size properties?

Use File>Save As or File>Save for web. Either of these will create a new document as long as the name is different or is in another folder.

If i want to cut a part of picture and save it, how do i do that??

I want to cut a part of a picture that I have scanned to the computer. How do I do it???

Hi,
You have to do in 2 steps:
Save the scanned image/picture to your computer,
Use a photo editing software to cut or crop the image/picture.
There are a lot of photo editors around, many are free, some are online .....or even Paint (in Windows) can do this for you. This is one of many free software:

Can I transfer my text messages, pictures, and contacts from a non-smartphone to a new iPhone?

I don't have a smartphone but I'm buying an iPhone 5

I don't believe you can. You will probably need to purchase a new AppleCare plan for the new iPhone. But you can call Apple support, ask to speak with someone in AppleCare plan administration, and ask.
Regards.

Cannot copy and save a picture in "MY PICTURES"

( Right click on a picture and "save picture as" - only saves it in DOWNLOADS , not in MY PICTURES) Want to save it in MY PICTURES. Seem to have this problem with new version of Firefox. Don't have this problem with Internet Explorer.

Thanks for your fast reply. I discovered how to fix my problem by chance. After doing what you told me, still have a few more steps to complete.
The pict i try to copy is still downloaded in "DOWNLOADS" ( NOT in "MY PICTURES") but in the "DOWNLOAD" list, underneath the pict name i just tried to copy, it is written "CANCELLED". I simply double-clicked on the name of the downloaded picture and a scan ( for viruses) starts. Once the scan finished, the picture finally appears in "MY PICTURES" folder.
Don't know why it has to be scanned ( is it McCafee or Windows or ...) but it needs to be scanned for viruses or else it'll never be copied to "MY PICTURES" folder.
Hope that helps other users.

GiGe camera waits till there is a TTL signal takes a picture and then waits again for another TTL signal (IMAQdx)

Hello , I have a problem with a GIgE AVT camera.
All I want to do is make the camera wait and each time there is a TTL signal snap a picture and save it to the disk.
I have spent hours and hours trying to make this work but I had no luck !
Could someone with knowledge of the IMAQdx drivers help me please !?
I really can't find a solution to this problem!

Hello LaThoS,
thanks for your reply .
What i am trying to do is use an AVT GS660 which actually has a hardware trigger input and all i am trying to do is put it in a while loop and make it wait untill there is an external ttl signal, then take a picture , save it and then wait for another ttl signal !
I 've seen the examples but i cannot see how they are going to be usefull to me since there is no hardaware ttl signal on the cam( https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-15346)
I am attaching my sample code.
Could you please help me figure it out ?
Thanks in advance,
yannis.
ps:the problems that i am facing is that on ttl the camera starts saving the same image continisously till i stop the loop !

I'm new to Mac and I am trying to write text on a picture

We scanned a picture and I can't figure out how to write text on it. Do I need a different program other than iPhoto? Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Simplest way to do it:
Open the photo using Preview instead of iPhoto.
Click on the "annotate" button and the in the annotate tool bar click on the icon of a rectangle with letters inside it.
Then click drag on the area of the photo where you want to type to select that area and type in it.
Preview is an application found in your application folder.

Write text to picture and save it
