Custom overlay additions #58

Closed techyian closed 4 years ago

techyian commented 6 years ago

Look at ways in which to overlay additional UI elements to the preview renderer and also image frames.

Examples include fonts and lines to make basic shapes.

I am closing this issue as I don't feel as though it's something that needs to be built into the library. A good solution if you are looking to overlay Fonts or Shapes onto your images is ImageSharp. ImageSharp has additional sub-modules specifically for these use-cases, namely Shapes and Fonts. There's no point trying to re-invent the wheel here when great alternatives already exist. I also don't want to add a hard dependency onto ImageSharp either, but there are two points to hook into within MMALSharp which you could feed into ImageSharp, Callback Handlers and Capture Handlers.
