Want to know how to write paragraph on image using pillow python

Question

I want to write text on image using pillow

Which has width and height 500,500

My text is bigger and that is going out of the image
I want to to align the text at center
I done this using w/2,  h/2

The text come to center but going out the image as it is paragraph

I want to adjust text and when the size of text gone to width 400, then print on next line on same image.

Also want to know if there is any align center option

This is my code

from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageFont
from PIL import ImageDraw
import textwrap

with open(".txt", "r") as f:
    W, H = (500,500)
    for line in f:
        singleline = (line)
        img = Image.open("bb1.jpg")
        draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
        font = ImageFont.truetype('demo2.ttf',20)
        l = textwrap.wrap(singleline, width=40)
        w, h = draw.textsize(singleline)
        draw.text(((W)/2,(H)/2),singleline,font=font, fill = 'black')
        img.save(singleline+'.jpg')

Hi, @Shantanu,

You can make use of the below shown. Just check what font type and size is appropriate for you and use the following function to change font values:

# font = ImageFont.truetype(<font-file>, <font-size>)
# font-file should be present in provided path.
font = ImageFont.truetype("sans-serif.ttf", 16)

from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageFont
from PIL import ImageDraw 

img = Image.open("sample_in.jpg")
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
# font = ImageFont.truetype(<font-file>, <font-size>)
font = ImageFont.truetype("sans-serif.ttf", 16)
# draw.text((x, y),"Sample Text",(r,g,b))
draw.text((0, 0),"Sample Text",(255,255,255),font=font)
img.save('sample-out.jpg')

You might need to put some extra effort to calculate font size. In case you want to change it based on amount of text user has provided in TextArea.
