Numbers

[Lysander]

Any tip would help

The .net Framework makes this easy.

You can draw - for example - a rectangle, have a gradient color as the
rectangle's background, write a text onto it, for example text "51",
using any installed font, and then export that as .bmp, .jpg, .png

It should be possible to do that in a loop.

I can probably help you to write the .net class for this, if you have a
few days of time, but I am ABSOLUTELY unable to do anything beautiful or
artistic :)
So you would have to do the "take this font, that fontsize, those
colours" part.

In order to test my image cataloguer / clasiffier program
I need numbers.

Do you mean that you want to display a graphic number "tag" in your dBASE app ?

Then create them on demand using a PaintBox control.

Have a look at the ToolBar Designer in the rmToolBar.cc package, and you will
see yellow circles with a black number superimposed to show the toolbar element
number, in the same style as the dBASE form designer. This is done using
rmPaintBox.cc and you are very welcome to steal <g> any chunks of code you wish
to do this job for you.

Please see my answer to Lysander....
Still I will be using your routines... I always wanted to use the
paintbox but never got around it.

Lysander:

Thanks for the help..... you gave me the idea on how to do its ;)

As you say I can using the graphic tool I use for my application
to draw a rectangle of any color, put a number or lettering of
any color and size, font etcand controle it with the numbers and characters
that I want...
It took me 2 hours.

http://www.evilaro.dbasedeveloper.co.uk/pdf/400_numbers.pdf

It takes to make 400 images 30 sec.
Not the best looking numbers, but this is what I needed.


The sample above, its a prof that if i do not use images with numbers
it would be much work to see if the image possitions are correct, also the
correcponding titles.

Thaks for your help.
