Font 1.1.1

A custom text rendering library using custom fonts for opencv

Font Rendering Library for OpenCV

Introduction

The Font library is designed to solve the problem of rendering text with custom TrueType fonts in OpenCV applications. OpenCV, a popular computer vision library, does not natively support the use of TrueType fonts, which can be a limitation for many projects that require advanced text rendering capabilities.

This library provides a simple and efficient solution to this problem by allowing developers to use custom fonts in their OpenCV projects. It abstracts away the low-level details of font rendering, providing a clean and intuitive API for text rendering.

Features

• Support for custom TrueType fonts
• Configurable font settings (size, color, spacing, alignment, background)
• Rendering of single-line and multi-line text
• Efficient rendering using a custom Character class and Renderer class
• Compatibility with OpenCV (tested with OpenCV 4.x)

Installation

To use the Font library in your project, follow these steps:

$ pip install Font

or

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ivanrj7j/Font.git
   

2. Add the character.py, config.py, and render.py files to your project's directory.

Usage

For detailed usage instructions and examples, please refer to the Usage Guide.

Example

renderedImage = putTTFText(image, "Hello world!\nI'm rendering text!", (0, 0), "alktall.ttf", 1000, color=(255, 0, 0), spacing=20, wordSpacing=100, lineSpacing=30, backBox=(0, 0, 0), align="center")
