Understand properties Border, Brush and Hollow will help you to write beautiful watermark text.

The sample code below initialize the objects needed

[Visual Basic]

Dim image As Image
Dim bitmap As New Bitmap (320,120)
image = (Image) bitmap
Dim objWriter As New angGoGo.CoolWatermark.Writer( Image )
objWriter.PositionStyle = PositionStyle.MiddleCenter


[C#]

Image image;
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(320,120);
image = (Image)bitmap;
angGoGo.CoolWatermark.Writer objWriter = new Writer(image);
objWriter.PositionStyle = PositionStyle.MiddleCenter;

Above figure demonstrates to write a text without a border

Above figure demonstrates to write a text with a white border.

[Code Example]

[C#]

objWriter.Border border= new Border(Pens.White);
objWriter.border = border;
Image image = objWrite.WriteText ( "Watermark" );

Above figure demonstrates to write a text with a black border and set Hollow is true.

[Code Example]

[C#]

objWriter.Border border= new Border(Pens.Black);
objWriter.border = border;
objWrite.Hollow = true;
Image image = objWrite.WriteText ( "Watermark" );

You can customize the Border.Pen to write border with customized border

Above figure demonstrates to write a text with a trellis pen and set Hollow is true.

[Code Example]

[C#]

HatchBrush hb = new HatchBrush(HatchStyle.Trellis,Color.White,Color.Black);
Pen pen = new Pen(hb,5);
objWriter.Border border= new Border(pen);
objWriter.border = border;
objWrite.Hollow = true;
Image image = objWrite.WriteText ( "Watermark" );
