Hiding lines of text by rob_botch on 10-20-2006 at 05:38 PM

I have to write a program that chops off the top half of words. My query is this: In VB(.NET), is it possible to put text into an image file and then edit individual pixels of this file? If not, does anybody know of a language that will allow this?

Thanks

Robert

In PHP you can load the image and draw pixels on top of the image.

Thanks, but ideally this will be a standalone program, not on the web.

Thak you anyway

In VB.NET I think you can use GDI+ to manipulate images?

Using GDI+, draw the text on a canvas, then crop the top half of the text off. It shouldn't be too difficult, except you may have to know the exact size of the drawn text.
