I was proud of myself until...

So using directions at https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-pi ... watermark/ I modified this script to get it to put text on an image:

Code: Select all

from PIL import Image
import time
from PIL import ImageFont
from PIL import ImageDraw
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

original = Image.open("/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2022.1/Web Assets/public/alert.jpg")

draw = ImageDraw.Draw(original)
font = ImageFont.truetype("Arial", 37)
draw.text((55, 23), "timestamp", (255, 255, 0), font=font)
plt.subplot(1, 2, 1)
plt.title("white text")

original.save("/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2022.1/Web Assets/public/alert.jpg", optimize=True, quality=38)

And that works fine.

But when I follow these timestamp directions https://stackoverflow.com/questions/687 ... rrent-time and do

Code: Select all

from PIL import Image
import time
from PIL import ImageFont
from PIL import ImageDraw
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

original = Image.open("/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2022.1/Web Assets/public/alert.jpg")

draw = ImageDraw.Draw(original)
font = ImageFont.truetype("Arial", 37)
draw.text((55, 23), draw.text((55, 23), datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%d-%H-%M-%S"), (255, 255, 0), font=font)
plt.subplot(1, 2, 1)
plt.title("white text")

original.save("/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2022.1/Web Assets/public/alert.jpg", optimize=True, quality=38)

I get "name datetime is not defined". Some sort of syntax error on my part I'm sure, but I can't figure it out. What did I do wrong? So close!

I'm also confused about what the line "

Code: Select all

plt.title("white text")

does, since the text color comes from two lines above that. Thanks in advance!

Ha! I got it!

Thanks anyway. The timestamp example didn't show

Code: Select all

import datetime

I m SMRT

Good job.

We were all figuring it out at some point.

Agreed. Great job.
