add text on an image

Hi,

I wonder how I can add text on an image and save it as a bitmap image for cocoa objective-c application.

Thanks

Do you mean just add some text and then save it as a bitmap?
Sorry it just sounds too simple for someone doing programming.

If you have something like Photoshop it is easy. I won't go through it, but if you have such a program just play with the text tool and you'll have done it.

You could probably even do it in AppleWorks.

oops... it's not about using application but creating code for adding text on image in objective-c.

I want to make it for users can write some text on an image in a NSView by programming and want to save it as one bitmap image.

I can write some text on an image using 'drawAtPoint', but how can you save it with the base image into an image?

Thanks

There are quite a few Cocoa applications that can do this. Have you tried asking the developers what it is they use?

I know a number of the Stone Design apps can do this, so Andrew Stone might be a good starting point.
