Title: rendering text into an image buffer in C++
Post by: aluminumstudios on July 24, 2010, 04:49:44 AM
Hi everyone!

I hope someone can help me out here.  I wrote my software in C++ on a Mac.  I want to render text graphically into an image buffer.

I'm willing to use X11 or anything else that would keep my program easily portable to *nix systems (I don't want to use any Apple specific libraries, frameworks, etc., at the moment.)

My image buffer is just an area of malloc'd memory that I write my fractal image data to then output using libtiff.

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.  I don't have any experience with doing this so I didn't know where to look.  I'll check it out!
