If I do this for example:
cv2.getTextSize('blahblah', cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 2, 2)
it returns ((262, 43), 19)
so the width and height of the text in pixels are 262 and 43, but what is the 19?
Here it says it "corresponds to the y coordinate of the baseline relative to the bottom of the text" but this still doesn’t make it clear to me, as I’m not sure what the "baseline" is here?
>Solution :
The baseline here is the yellow line in the figure on page 124. It is the line on which the letters sit. That is according to
Pay attention to how the three little points (red,cyan, and green) are drawn and also to how the yellow baseline is shown.
