ImageTextOutlined Output Parameters:

IMAGE

The output is an image with the rendered text. This image is returned as a tensor, which can be further processed or directly used in your AI art projects. The text will appear on the image with the specified font, size, color, alignment, and optional outline, providing a ready-to-use visual element.

ImageTextOutlined Usage Tips:

• To ensure your text stands out against any background, use contrasting colors for the text and outline.
