Add Text To Image

Category: Image

Status: Registered and callable in the CyberChef 11.3.0 compatibility inventory.

Input / output: ArrayBuffer → ArrayBuffer

What it does

Adds text onto an image. Text can be horizontally or vertically aligned, or the position can be manually specified. Variants of the Roboto font face are available in any size or colour.

Note

Status here means the operation name is implemented and callable. It does not by itself promise byte-for-byte parity for every upstream option. See Compatibility and current status for the verified scope and known boundaries.

Arguments and options

Arguments are positional. Keep their order when using bake() or Pipeline.then().

Index	Name	UI type	PyChef default	Accepted values / format
`0`	Text	`string`	`''`	`''`
`1`	Horizontal align	`option`	`'None'`	`'None'`, `'Left'`, `'Center'`, `'Right'`
`2`	Vertical align	`option`	`'None'`	`'None'`, `'Top'`, `'Middle'`, `'Bottom'`
`3`	X position	`number`	`0`	A Python integer or floating-point value
`4`	Y position	`number`	`0`	A Python integer or floating-point value
`5`	Size	`number`	`32`	A Python integer or floating-point value
`6`	Font face	`option`	`'Roboto'`	`'Roboto'`, `'Roboto Black'`, `'Roboto Mono'`, `'Roboto Slab'`
`7`	Red	`number`	`255`	A Python integer or floating-point value
`8`	Green	`number`	`255`	A Python integer or floating-point value
`9`	Blue	`number`	`255`	A Python integer or floating-point value
`10`	Alpha	`number`	`255`	A Python integer or floating-point value

Recipe template

Important

This is a call template built from the documented defaults. Replace placeholder values such as empty keys, paths, patterns, or lookup data before running it.

from pychef import bake

input_value = b"example"
args = ['', 'None', 'None', 0, 0, 32, 'Roboto', 255, 255, 255, 255]
result = bake(input_value, [{"op": 'Add Text To Image', "args": args}])
print(result)

Pipeline example

from pychef import Pipeline

args = ['', 'None', 'None', 0, 0, 32, 'Roboto', 255, 255, 255, 255]
transform = Pipeline().then('Add Text To Image', *args)
result = transform(b"example")

Direct call

pychef.ops.run_operation runs any registered operation as a plain function, under the active ExecutionPolicy (safe defaults, no network):

from pychef.ops import run_operation

args = ['', 'None', 'None', 0, 0, 32, 'Roboto', 255, 255, 255, 255]
result = run_operation('Add Text To Image', b"example", args=args)

Common operations also have typed helpers in Direct operations.

Low-level operation module

Warning

The module below is an internal implementation detail. It applies no execution policy, resource limits, or error sanitization; prefer bake(), Pipeline, or pychef.ops for application code.

The registered entry point lives in pychef.operations.by_operation.add_text_to_image. Direct calls receive the input value and a positional argument tuple:

from pychef.operations.by_operation.add_text_to_image import run

result = run(b"example", tuple(['', 'None', 'None', 0, 0, 32, 'Roboto', 255, 255, 255, 255]))

pychef.operations.by_operation.add_text_to_image.run(value, args)

Run this operation using its shared internal implementation.

Parameters:

value (str | bytes)
args (Sequence[Any])

Return type:

str | bytes
