Options

Although none of the options are required, at a minimum you will want to set the size to be some reasonable percentage of the image height.

alignx

New in v0.141.0

(string) The horizontal alignment of the text relative to the horizontal offset, one of left, center, or right. Default is left.

color

(string) The font color, either a 3-digit or 6-digit hexadecimal color code. Default is #ffffff (white).

font

(resource.Resource) The font can be a global resource, a page resource, or a remote resource. Default is Go Regular, a proportional sans-serif TrueType font.

linespacing

(int) The number of pixels between each line. For a line height of 1.4, set the linespacing to 0.4 multiplied by the size. Default is 2.

size

(int) The font size in pixels. Default is 20.

x

(int) The horizontal offset, in pixels, relative to the left of the image. Default is 10.

y

(int) The vertical offset, in pixels, relative to the top of the image. Default is 10.

Usage

Set the text and paths:

{{ $text := "Zion National Park" }}
{{ $fontPath := "https://github.com/google/fonts/raw/main/ofl/lato/Lato-Regular.ttf" }}
{{ $imagePath := "images/original.jpg" }}

Capture the font as a resource:

{{ $font := "" }}
{{ with try (resources.GetRemote $fontPath) }}
  {{ with .Err }}
    {{ errorf "%s" . }}
  {{ else with .Value }}
    {{ $font = . }}
  {{ else }}
    {{ errorf "Unable to get resource %s" $fontPath }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Create the filter, centering the text horizontally and vertically:

{{ $r := "" }}
{{ $filter := "" }}
{{ with $r = resources.Get $imagePath }}
  {{ $opts := dict
    "alignx" "center"
    "color" "#fbfaf5"
    "font" $font
    "linespacing" 8
    "size" 60
    "x" (mul .Width 0.5 | int)
    "y" (mul .Height 0.5 | int)
  }}
  {{ $filter = images.Text $text $opts }}
{{ else }}
  {{ errorf "Unable to get resource %s" $imagePath }}
{{ end }}

Apply the filter using the images.Filter function:

{{ with $r }}
  {{ with . | images.Filter $filter }}
    <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

You can also apply the filter using the Filter method on a Resource object:

{{ with $r }}
  {{ with .Filter $filter }}
    <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}
