Stamping Text on an Image File
04-29-2004
. I have a goal to be able to put some preformatted text into a template (which is now a tiff file, but can be changed) and then output it to a printer. Right now we're thinking PostScript might work or some super PDF thing. We also thought that using a printer filter might work.

img-tiff(n) img-tiff(n) NAME
img-tiff - Img, Tagged Image File Format (tiff) SYNOPSIS
package require Tk package require img::tiff ?1.3? image create photo ?name? ?options? DESCRIPTION
The package img::tiff is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via package require Img, or on its own, via package require img::tiff. Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command image so that it supports files containing raster images in the Tagged Image File Format (tiff). More specifically img::tiff extends Tk's photo image type. The name of the new format handler is tiff. This handler provides new additional configuration options. See section TIFF OPTIONS for more detailed explanations. All of the above means that in a call like image create photo ?name? ?options? [1] Image data in tiff format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically. [2] The format name tiff is recognized by the option -format. In addition the value for the option is treated as list and may contain any of the special options listed in section TIFF OPTIONS. TIFF OPTIONS
The handler provides two options to influence the writing of a TIFF image. There are no options to influence the reader. -compression type This option specifies the type of compression to use when writing TIFF data. It has to be one of none, jpeg, packbits, or deflate. The default is none. -byteorder type This option specifies the byteorder to use when writing TIFF data. It has to be one of bigendian, littleendian, network, smallen- dian, or the empty string. The default is the empty string. The values bigendian and network are aliases of each other, as are littleendian and smallendian. SEE ALSO
