How to draw text to image and save it? MAUI

Question

I am trying to make a mobile application that adds text to an image then saves it to the device. I see that drawing the text and image can be done using Maui.Graphics . But, I am not sure about the following steps.

I would say there are three options based on your needs:&nbsp;

DrawingView: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/communitytoolkit/maui/views/drawingview&nbsp;
SkiaSharp: https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp&nbsp;
MAUI Graphics - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/user-interface/graphics/]

In each you would be rendering the text with the graphics view on the image and then saving it off.

Hi Albernazf, do you have some working code you could share? I need to do the same thing but have spent days trying to get SkiaSharp up and running but cannot get even the simplest example working.
