I am trying to use a TextLayer with a text that has a "border" around it, in some graphics programs this is called "Stroke Width":
I can't seem to figure out how to do this with ImageEn's TIETextLayer... |

I'm afraid that is not yet supported, but on the to-do list.

Hi,
you can make follow, try different values
// Inner Glow
for z := 0 to GlowInOverflow_AdvSpinEdit.Value do
ImageEnVect.Proc.AddInnerShadow(GlowSizeIn_AdvSpinEdit.Value, 0, 0, clblack);
The PictureExample is:
for z := 0 to 5 do
ImageEnVect.Proc.AddInnerShadow(13, 0, 0, clblack);

Sorry - I don't get what you're trying to say.
Anyway, I have currently solved it by making an Image Layer where I first draw the text (+stroke) to a transparent PNG and then load that into the Layer.
This is the function protoype I currently have (so you can see what parameters are required):
FUNCTION MakeImage(CONST FontName : STRING ; FontSize : Cardinal ; FontColor : TColor ; FontStyle : TFontStyles ; StrokeWidth : BYTE ; StrokeColor : TColor ; CONST Text : STRING ; MaxW,MaxH : Cardinal ; CONST Margins : TMargins) : TIEBitmap;
It returns a transparent TIEBitmap with the specified Text written in the specified font with the specified Stroke width and color (if StrokeWidth=0 or StrokeColor=clNone, no stroke effect is done). There is a transparent "border" around the text the size of which is specified in Margins. MaxW and MaxH specifies the maximum width and height of the returned image. Any text that goes beyond this is cropped. There is - currently - no autowrap, but CR/LF are supported within the string.
This returned image is then loaded into a n Image Layer. |
