You could probably do this with Open office draw , and then Export to bmp or gif.<div><br></div><div><br clear="all">Scott Mohnkern<br>

hi,<br>
<br>
how can I add some simple text to an image, either photos<br>
or a bmp ( that I created years ago with some windows<br>
program ) ?? The images open OK in any viewer....<br>
<br>
I want to clear a rectangular area, and paste in text.<br>
<br>
I have<br>
eye of gnome<br>
evince<br>
gthumb<br>
showphoto<br>
digikam<br>
gimp<br>
<br>
I can't get gimp to simply put in text...errrr, I can,<br>
but it won't actually paste... .. multiple<br>
undos get rid of the text I tried to insert.<br>
I have multiple select rectangles<br>
open and other misc stuff that won't go away.<br>
<br>
<br>
digikam doesn't seem to have any simple editor.<br>
And was a PITA - took an hour to find that "config"<br>
was the place to simply add a directory from...thats crazy.<br>
<br>
showphoto can add text, but can't eliminate the bits in a selected area.<br>
I need to clear a selected area before adding text.<br>
And when I try to add text, the window size becomes greatly<br>
reduced and I can't see what I'm doing.<br>
<br>
suggestions ??<br>
<br>
Walt......<br>
