Drawing text without antialiasing

The sample shows how to draw a text string without antialiasing.
By default antialiasing is always turned on. Now you can draw text without antialiasing for palette images that were created with CreateImagePalette method, or created from GIF, PNG (8-bit) images, or converted using ConvertToPalette, ConvertToPaletteNoAlpha methods.

TextAntialias.vbs

' Define object variable
Dim im

' Create object
Set im = CreateObject("ActiveImage.Images.1")

width = 180
height = 60
' Create image with specified width and height
im.CreateImagePalette width,height
im.SetColor 255,255,255
im.DrawFilledRectangle 0,0,width,height

'Set path to true type fonts
im.SetFontPathTTFAuto

'Set font size
im.SetFontSizeTTF 14

'Set Font Name
im.SetFontTTF "arial"

im.SetColor 0,0,0

im.SetTextAntialias 0
im.DrawTextTTF 10,20, "Text no antialias"

im.SetTextAntialias 1
im.DrawTextTTF 10,35, "Text antialias"

' Set PNG format
im.SetImageType 0
' Save Image to file.
im.WriteToFile "C:\AI\textantialias.png"

' Set BMP format
im.SetImageType 4
' Save Image to file. BMP format.
im.WriteToFile "C:\AI\textantialias.bmp"
