I looked at java.awt.Graphics documentation, stackoverflow, could not find a solution. I have in input two things, an image file and the multi line text (paragraph). I need to write the multi line text on the image file and then save it as a new image. Wondering if I am missing something really simple here.
I am open to using any good third party libraries as well.
final BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("c:/anil/Lenna.png"));
Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
g.setFont(g.getFont().deriveFont(30f));
g.drawString("Hello world", 100, 100);
g.dispose();
Above code writes just a single line on the image.

if you want to draw several lines you have to do it explicitly...
so first step is to 'detect' lines
String str = ... //some text with line breaks;
String [] lines = str.spilt("\n"); //breaking the lines into an array
second step is to draw all lines
Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
g.setFont(g.getFont().deriveFont(30f));
int lineHeight = g.getFontMetrics().getHeight();
//here comes the iteration over all lines
for(int lineCount = 0; lineCount < lines.length; lineCount ++){ //lines from above
int xPos = 100;
int yPos = 100 + lineCount * lineHeight;
String line = lines[lineCount];
g.drawString(line, xpos, yPos);
}
g.dispose();
