Create Jpeg/Png programatically?

Mark B

I want to display a pre-designed graphical 'performance badge' on certain
webpages (round, about 2cm diameter) next to a salesperson's details.

I have a function, fGetPerformanceGrade(SalesPersonID as Long) as String to
retrieve that salesperson's grade (e.g. A+, A, A-, B+, B... D). Also one
other function, fGetMonthlySales(SalesPersonID as Long) as String to get
their sales figure, e.g. "$87K".

I want web visitors to be able to click the badge to then be redirected to a
sales low-level detail page.

I want the performance badge to include the two figures inside it.

I want the whole badge to be clickable so I am guessing the results of the
functions can't be text else the cursor will appear when people click on the
badge.

My thought then is that the badge needs to be constructed programmically at
run-time to incorporate those figures as pictures, or better still as part
of the overall graphic.

How would I do this? (I am a bit of a newbie to VB.NET)

Thanks very much in advance.
 
Hello Mark,

As Cor suggested, we can
1. Create a Bitmap object
'Create Bitmap object of specific width and height
Dim Img As New Bitmap(intWidth, intHeight)

2. Create the Graphics object using the Bitmap object
'Obtain Graphics object to perform graphics opration
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(Img)

3. Use the DrawString() method of the Graphics class to draw the figures in
the badge
'Use drawString method of the graphics object to write text on target bitmap
g.DrawString("Test", New Font("Arial", 15, FontStyle.Bold), _
New SolidBrush(Color.Red), 25, 35)

4. Save the image to a temporary directory:
'Save this bitmap using its save method as .Tiff,.jpg or any other image
ImgStamp.Save(YourPath &
"\MyStamp.jpg",System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpg))

After then, display the image in your page.

Never mind it must have been a file permissions issue:
C:\Users\Mark\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\MyStamp.jpg rather than
'C:\MyStamp.jpg' worked.

What if I want the text to overlay an existing graphic object (e.g. badge
template jpeg)?

Why make it so very complicated? A browser is capable of displaying text
on top of an image, and also capable of showing a pointer cursor instead
of a text cursor.

Example:

<a href="detailspage.html" target="_blank"
style="display:block;width:50px;height:50px;background:url(badge.gif);text-align:center;line-height:25px;cursor:pointer;">A+<br/>$87K</a>
 
If they click on the text, will it re-direct to a URL like it would if they
clicked on the image?

In my example there is no separate image element and separate text
elements. The link contains the text and has a background image. There
is no difference if you click on the part of the link where there is
text or the part where there is just the background image.
 
That all works OK now.

Now what about if I want to allow other webmasters to have our dynamic
salesperson performance badges on their websites?

I could pass them the salesperson ID number but what else would I need to
have them include in their HTML? I want them to be able to 'click-to-verify'
to be taken to the salesperson's details page.
