A new image service
- I want a simple web service that takes three basic parameters:
- 1. An image.
- 2. A piece of text.
- 3. Options.
- And returns an image with the text drawn over the image, configured by the options.
- In the first version there can be very few options. Maybe none.
- The text is centered vertically and horizontally. There could be an option to left or right justify or center the text. Options for font, size, style, color, shadow.
- Default would be centered/centered. Arial (or other nice sans-serif font). White. A black drop-shadow.
- A good example of an app that does this, but not for the web, is Secret. Here's an example of a Secret card, with a bit of text super-imposed on an image.
