PYTHON WRITE TEXT TO IMAGE

https://code-boxx.com/write-text-to-image-python/

NOTES

1. Change the font file sFont to your own in all examples.
2. Run unpack.bat (Windows) unpack.sh (Linux/Mac). This will automatically:
   • Download below image as demo.png
   • Create a virtual environment - virtualenv venv.
   • Activate the virtual environment - venv\scripts\activate (Windows) venv/bin/activate (Mac/Linux)
   • Run through 1 to 3 to generate the watermarked images.
