I am drawing text onto a numpy array image in Python (using a custom font). Currently I am converting the image to PIL, drawing the text and then converting back to a numpy array.
import numpy as np
import cv2
from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageDraw
from PIL import ImageFont
char_image = np.zeros((200, 300, 3), np.uint8)
# convert to pillow image
pillowImage = Image.fromarray(char_image)
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(pillowImage)
# add chars to image
font = ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf", 32)
draw.text((50, 50), 'ABC', (255, 255, 255), font=font)
# convert back to numpy array
char_image = np.array(pillowImage, np.uint8)
# show image on screen
cv2.imshow('myImage', char_image)
cv2.waitKey(0)
Is there anyway to draw the text on a given angle, ie. 33 degrees?
Rotating the image once the text has been drawn is not an option
