Description

This function will convert a string or char array to an image. There are several fonts implemented, each with their own license and number of included characters. All fonts are free to use in some form, but if you plan to use it on a large scale or for commercial purposes you should check the license of the specific font you want to use.

The list of included characters is based on a relatively arbitrary selection from three Wikipedia pages: general characters, newline characters, whitespace characters.

The list of actually available characters depends on the chosen font.

Fonts

The font images were generated using XeTeX and ghostscript.

Matlab/Octave

Syntax

imtext = text2im(text)
imtext = text2im(text,font)
imtext = text2im(text,options)
imtext = text2im(text,Name,Value)

Output arguments

Input arguments

Name,Value pairs

Compatibility, version info, and licence

Compatibility considerations:

• Multi-line inputs may have more trailing blank elements than intended. This is especially true for characters encoded with multiple elements (>127 for Octave and >65535 for Matlab).

Test suite

The tester is included so you can test if your own modifications would introduce any bugs. These tests form the basis for the compatibility table above. Note that functions may be different between the tester version and the normal function. Make sure to apply any modifications to both.
