Forums / Developer / Image filter on TextToImage-generated images

Using this default texttoimage function:
{"26"|texttoimage('a_d_mono')}
Is there anyway I can access the generated image, and filter it with settings stored in image.ini?
I cant figure out how to fetch an instance of, lets say, 'small' version of the newly generated <i>26</i> - image.
Thanks in advance for all answers.

HI Gunnar,
did you have a look at <i>/PATH/TO/Exponential/settings/texttoimage.ini</i>?
I seems that the image is stored once in a given size. If you need more versions you could make your own textToImage operator where you add code to store versions of the image.

Hi:)
I was, as allways, hoping to avoid any customizing here. Seems this may be the only option available or not?
attribute(show) on the new object gives me the following.
filepath string 'var/cache/texttoimage/imagetext/7/c/f/7cf88a5bc61094113c35b80a3472b70a' filename string '26.png' width integer 195 height integer 170 alternative_text string 26 imagepath string 'var/cache/texttoimage/imagetext/7/c/f/7cf88a5bc61094113c35b80a3472b70a/26.png' has_size boolean true
Does anyone know if its possible to put an imagemagick filter on this image with the information provided by its attributes?

[SOLVED]
In short i wanted to create google_maps pins in .png format dynamically. So on my way there i stumbled upon an example, http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=1689&activeItem=7, in our issue tracker</a> which led me in the right direction.
Anyway, in case someone wonders, heres my code for it.
{def $my_gmap_png_filepath= image( 'my_new_image', imagefile( 'path_to_the_background_image' ), array( 'text_layer_on_my_new_image'|texttoimage( 'my_custom_texttoimage_font' ), hash( 'halign', 'center', 'valign', 'middle', 'y', 6, 'x', 1 ) ) ).filepath}
Kaping!
