PIL and font colours.

I use PIL to write some text to a picture.The text must be seen wery
clearly.
I write the text to different pictures but to the same position. As
pictures maybe different, colour, in the position where I write the
text, is also different.
Is there a way how to set the font colour so that it will be seen very
clearly in the picture?
For example, if the picture is bright ( for example yellow), the font
colour should be dark( e.g. black) and vice versa.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Please don't post the same message three times. Once is enough.

For your problem are different solutions - you could compute an average
over the occupied background, convert the result to HSV and select a H
at the opposite, and also modify S and V.

I know this must have been asked elsewhere, but I cannot find it. There is a piece of text on my web page that I don't want browsers to resize. IE won't resize it if I specify the size in px, but everything else will. Is there any way to prevent browsers from resizing text? If you could just point me to where this has already been answered, that would be great. Paul

Where xlWs is an Excel.Worksheet and xlRG is an Excel.Range xlRG = xlWS.Cells(row, 7) xlRG.Font.Bold = True xlRG.Font.Color = 255 In VB6 you could just simply say xlRG.Font.Color = vbRed but in .net there is no constant vbRed and Color.Red gives an invalid format. Is there a set of enumerations of colors that will work here?

Hi, How do you change the font for the data labels on your bar graph report/chart? I have 24 series, and when I change the font of the data label for one series that does not change them all... Also in design view I only have 3 series displayed...so I need a way to change all of them at once... If anyone knows how to do this I would really appreciate a hint. Thanks

I'm a newbie to CSS, so be kind. :-) I have looked at examples of CSS and have not seen this yet. How can you change the colors of the text in the same word in CSS? For example, when how can you take the word "infosystems" and make the "info" part red, and the "systems" part blue? I don't want to have to hard-code this in HTML which is why I'm looking to CSS to do this. Thanks!

In his book "CSS: The Definitive Guide" 2nd edition (pgs. 116-117), Eric Meyer has an interesting discussion about "font-size-adjust" that was evidently dropped in CSS 2.1 due to browser non-support. I'm wondering if there's some way I could still get a primitive version of this functionality, because different fonts display at very different optical sizes for the same nominal sizes. For example, suppose I want type to display in...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it impossible to change the font in a report field when in print preview (MDE database) or can it only be done in design view in the MDB database. Part of my database is used to print name tags for functions, and it would be nice for the operator to have a choice of different fonts, colours and backgrounds. I have a copy of Terry Kreft and Stephen Lebans font selector mdb Thanks

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
