The original address: https://github.com/tkrkt/text2png

text2png('Create png image\nfrom multi-line text!');

Quick start

text2png depends on node-canvas.

With node-canvas. (See node-canvas wiki on installing node-canvas.)

$ npm install text2png-rotate

With node-canvas-prebuilt

$ npm install text2png@prebuilt

var fs = require('fs');
var text2png = require('text2png');
fs.writeFileSync('out.png', text2png('Hello!', {color: 'blue'}));

Option

text2png(text, option)

option.output = 'buffer' | 'stream' | 'dataURL' | 'canvas'

'canvas' returns node-canvas object.

If you want to use any custom fonts without installing, use localFontPath and localFontName property.

text2png('with custom fonts', {
  font: '50px Lobster',
  localFontPath: 'fonts/Lobstar-Regular.ttf',
  localFontName: 'Lobster'
});

Command line interface

$ npm install -g text2png@next
$ text2png --help
$ text2png -t "Hello!" -o "output.png"

Example

text2png('Example\nText', {
  font: '80px Futura',
  color: 'teal',
  backgroundColor: 'linen',
  lineSpacing: 10,
  padding: 20
});

Enjoy!
