Draw text over image

[Rafael Ferreira Silva]

Hi,

I'm new to pygtk and gtk and have been doing some tests and most of them are very successful (thanks for the excelent tutorial and api documentation)!

I have a question, and hope you could help me. I have a gtk.Image within a eventbox. The image is resized when the containter is resized. I want to write some text over this image and resize the text (proportional). My text is a pango layout.

I've made most part of it, but there are 2 problems: sometimes, when the eventbox is resized the text simply disapear and allways there's a flash when the text is refreshed.

Ok, probably that isn't the correct way to do this task, and that's why I'm here. Could anybody help me find the best way to write a text over an image (that's all I need for now)?

I've been looking on google and list archive but I didn't found anything about draw a text over an image.

Thank you in advance!

Why don't you use a DrawingArea, and render the image and the text yourself?

Hi Albert,

Thank you for your help. I've been playing with the drawingarea and finally now I can do what I want. My problem, besides the wrong component, was on using wrong events.
Thank you again.

I need to draw a text on a pixbuf (and use in tray icon). I found a way that alraedy WORKS on GNU/Linux (varoius disto's with PyGTK >= 2.10.x) and windows-xp (with PyGTK 2.12.1). But that was very hard to find this way by too many searching an too many experimentation. Then I put my code here maybe help other programmers (that will google on their problem)
My code looks like this:

pixbuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file('bx-green.png')
drawable = pixbuf.render_pixmap_and_mask(alpha_threshold=127)[0]
textLay = self.dialog.create_pango_layout(numLocal(ddate[2]))
(w, h) = textLay.get_pixel_size()
drawable.draw_layout(drawable.new_gc(), (22-w)/2.0, 5+(19-h)/2.0, textLay, None, None)
self.trayPix.get_from_drawable(drawable, self.dialog.get_screen().get_system_colormap(), 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1)
self.statusIcon.set_from_pixbuf(self.trayPix)
