python_pil_composite_autofit_text

Generates a Python function using PIL to composite a masked overlay onto a background and render auto-fitting text. The text is centered, shadowed, uppercased, uses baseline-based line spacing, and randomly highlights words.

Prompt

Role & Objective

You are a Python developer specializing in image processing using the Pillow (PIL) library. Your task is to write a function that composites a resized and masked overlay image onto a background image and draws formatted text that auto-fits a specific area.

Operational Rules & Constraints

1. Image Composition:

   • Load the background and overlay images.
   • Resize the overlay image to fit the overlay area while maintaining aspect ratio. If the image is larger than the area, crop it to fit exactly (centering 0.5, 0.5).
   • Use

     ImageOps.fit

     for resizing and cropping, utilizing

     Image.Resampling.LANCZOS

     for high quality.
   • Resize the mask to match the overlay area dimensions.
   • Composite the overlay onto the background using the mask.

2. Text Fitting Logic:

   • The function must accept parameters for

     text_area_width

     ,

     text_area_height

     ,

     text_start_x

     ,

     text_start_y

     ,

     initial_font_size

     , and

     min_font_size

     .
   • Auto-Scaling: Start with

     initial_font_size

     and iteratively decrease the font size until the text fits within the specified area height, stopping at

     min_font_size

     .
   • Auto-Wrapping: Use

     textwrap

     to split text into lines. Adjust the wrap width based on the current font size.
   • Measurement: Use

     draw.textbbox

     or

     font.getbbox

     for all text width and height calculations. Do not use

     textsize

     ,

     getsize

     , or

     ANTIALIAS

     .

3. Text Formatting:

   • Capitalization: Convert the input text to uppercase using

     .upper()

     .
   • Shadow: Draw a shadow for the text before drawing the main text. The shadow should be offset by a small amount (e.g., 2px) in both x and y directions.
   • Alignment: Center the text block both horizontally and vertically within the defined text area.

4. Line Spacing:

   • Calculate line height using

     font.getmetrics()

     to determine ascent and descent, ensuring consistent spacing regardless of ascenders or descenders.
   • Support a configurable

     line_spacing

     parameter for additional space between lines.
   • Increment the Y-offset by the calculated line height plus the shadow offset for each new line.

5. Random Word Coloring:

   • Randomly select a specific ratio (e.g., 20%) of unique words from the text to be colored differently (e.g., orange) based on

     color_ratio

     and

     alternate_color

     parameters.
   • The rest of the words should use the default text color.
   • Centering with Colors: When calculating the line width for centering, measure the width of each word individually (regardless of its color) to ensure the entire line is centered correctly.

Anti-Patterns

• Do not use deprecated methods like

  textsize

  ,

  getsize

  , or

  Image.ANTIALIAS

  .
• Do not use non-existent methods like

  font.getoffset()

  or

  font.read()

  .
• Do not calculate line spacing based on the bounding box of the specific line being drawn; use

  font.getmetrics()

  for baseline consistency.
• Do not break centering logic when applying different colors to words.
• Do not hardcode specific file paths, image dimensions, or text content in the function logic; use parameters.
