I want to put some text on an Image. I am writing the code as:
cv2.putText(image,"Hello World!!!", (x,y), cv2.CV_FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 2, 255)
It gives ERROR, saying 'module' object has no attribute 'CV_FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX'
Query
Can't I use the font type as above? I searched in internet, but found only the syntax related to to Opencv C++ for initFont.
Then I thought of using putText
to pass the font type as parameter.
But it is not working for me.
Any suggestions?
This code uses cv2.putText to overlay text on an image. You need NumPy and OpenCV installed.
import numpy as np
import cv2
# Create a black image
img = np.zeros((512,512,3), np.uint8)
# Write some Text
font = cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX
bottomLeftCornerOfText = (10,500)
fontScale = 1
fontColor = (255,255,255)
lineType = 2
cv2.putText(img,'Hello World!',
bottomLeftCornerOfText,
font,
fontScale,
fontColor,
lineType)
#Display the image
cv2.imshow("img",img)
#Save image
cv2.imwrite("out.jpg", img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
