Text manipulation support?
Hi, 👋 I know this is dumb to open an issue for, but will boost.gil support text manipulation, if so when ? and thanks in advance
GIL stands for Generic Image Library, what kind of text manipulation support are you expecting from an image library? Rendering text?
I know this might be hard and a lot to implement, but yes, yes, rendering text, loading from fonts, text color, text position etc.
I would recommand to check this (old) contribution then, it might be a good start:
FreetypeGIL by Tom Brinkman - A Freetype wrapper for GIL. Renders text onto GIL views.
- gil/extension/toolbox/freegil.hpp
- Tom's original announcement in boost::freetype - extension for boost::gil
Okey ty I really appreciate, one thing how do I get the value of boost::pixel
didn't find any way to do it
yes, rendering text, loading from fonts, text color, text position etc.
GIL is not a rendering library. You should look at https://github.com/cpp-io2d/P0267_RefImpl and http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p0267r10.pdf, and plenty of other libraries out there.

There is no such thing as boost::pixel
