Hi,

We do have some text object in Multilayer viewer, and with some background photo. Whent he design is done, we tried to save the renderworkspace into a JPG file. But, we found that, the text is a bit not clear and "smooth", some of the small text even turn into "dots" and not line. May I know is there anyway that we can keep the text sharpness?

We already export the JPG in 300dpi and 10 quality.

Please advice.

I'm doing the same thing. I only see softness in text on some fonts and it does depend on how big the print area is.

Is it all fonts or specific fonts? How big is the area you are printing? How are you viewing the output?

Hi,

Please, could you provide us with code sample and screenshots? Something like: "I use this code and get such picture, but I want something like this one".

Best wishes, Alex

Please download the image and check on the printout for the smallest text. It will give a pretty clear pixelization on the text. Thanks.

Hi,

Wow, pretty font ;)

Could you send us code which renders the image and font? I'll try to experiment with them.

Best wishes, Alex

Sure...

Here is the code to add the text to MLV

Code:

3:          _mlvMain.CurrentLayerIndex = Layer_Design
4:          _mlvMain.CurrentDesigner = New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.TextVObjectCreateDesigner
5:          DirectCast(_mlvMain.CurrentDesigner, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.TextVObjectCreateDesigner).Font = frmMain.gpdProjectData.ProjectFont
6:          DirectCast(_mlvMain.CurrentDesigner, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.TextVObjectCreateDesigner).Text = "Double Click to Edit"
7:          DirectCast(_mlvMain.CurrentDesigner, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.TextVObjectCreateDesigner).Format.Alignment = frmMain.gpdProjectData.ProjectFontAlign
8:          DirectCast(_mlvMain.CurrentDesigner, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.TextVObjectCreateDesigner).Format.LineAlignment = frmMain.gpdProjectData.ProjectFontLineAlign
9:          Dim brush As System.Drawing.SolidBrush = New System.Drawing.SolidBrush(frmMain.gpdProjectData.ProjectFontColor)

10:         DirectCast(_mlvMain.CurrentDesigner, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.TextVObjectCreateDesigner).Brush = brush

And here is the code to render them into JPG

Code:

_mlvMain.RenderWorkspace(Press_DPI_High).Save("C:\Output.jpg", New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.JpegEncoderOptions(iJPGQuality, True))

Hi Ching-Yen,

We tried to investigate your problem. Could you please send us the values of these variables (from the code above):

Press_DPI_High = ?

iJPGQuality = ?

_mlvMain.WorkspaceWidth = ? (in points)

_mlvMain.WorkspaceHeight = ? (in points)

It would be very helpful for us.

Hi,

Press_DPI_High = 300

iJPGQuality = 10

While

_mlvMain.WorkspaceWidth & _mlvMain.WorkspaceHeight is not fix...For the given sample, it is

11" x 8.5"

p/s: we use frmMain._DesignDock._mlvMain.Unit = Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Unit.Inch

Please advice. Thanks.

Hello,

We spent some time playing with text in Vector Objects. Unfortunately it is not clear what is the matter of problem. We tried to output text with different font sizes and different DPIs. It looks okay.

If you have a complete application allowing to reproduce this problem, it would be great if you provide us with it along with a font used to output text strings.

Quote:
iJPGQuality = 10

It is quite pure quality. Did you try to increase it?

the JPG quality is always set to 10, and I think it is the highest we can go, rite?
