how to print a text to a frame in opencv-python

Question

I am using opencv-python for my face detection experiment. I am also to do a cv.drawRect function. I tried with cv.putText but it is not supported in python. Is there other functions other than cv.putText which can write text to an image frame

Answer 1

Got it. In the older version of python-opencv use PutText instead of putText

font = cv.InitFont(cv.CV_FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 1, 1, 0, 3, 8) #Creates a font
x = 10 #position of text
y = 20 #position of text
cv.PutText(image,"Hello World!!!", (x,y),font, 255) #Draw the text
