How do I add text after using MemoryImageSource

[Cleeve]

I've followed all the tutorials adding text to images and buffered images with no problems until I try to add text to an image created using MemoryImageSource. I get an error message saying that the usual method doesn't work with images produced by ImageProducer. The image starts life as an integer array with ARGB format so converting it into a buffered image didn't work either as these only seem to work with text when defined as byte arrays.
BTW I need to store the image with overlaid text on disk, so I don't think it is just writing to a JPanel or a JFrame.
Does anyone have a sample of code showing how to add some text to an image produced by MemoryImageSource.

I get an error message

Please copy and paste here the full text of the error message.

how to add some text to an image

If you use the Graphics methods to draw the image and then draw a String over it, is that what you mean?

I tried so many variations I can't reproduce the same error message. However, I assume from your response that it should be possible and it was something else I did that caused the error i.r.o. the use of ImageProducer.

Extracting the relevant bits, my code is:

DirectColorModel dcm = new DirectColorModel(32, 0x00FF0000, 0x0000FF00, 0x000000FF);
MemoryImageSource sourceImage = new MemoryImageSource(320, 240, dcm, outpixels, 0, 320);
........< process(inIntegerArray,outpixels) >...

xFrame = createImage(sourceImage); //where xFrame is defined as Image
BufferedImage bufim = new BufferedImage(320, 240, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g = bufim.createGraphics();
g.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 12));
g.setPaint(Color.red);
g.drawImage(xFrame, null, null);
g.drawString("Testing",20,100);
imgpanel.setImage(Frame);

The image produced in "xFrame" displays correctly but the text is never visible.
What have I done wrong?
(PS I've used absolute values here for brevity)

Can you make a small program (a SSCCE) that can be used for testing?

OK, I'll start with apologies for the quality of this bit of hacked code but, functionally, it does the same as the main program and exhibits the same fault.

        {
          g.drawImage(myimg, 0, 0, this);
        }
      }
  }

}

Try this:

imgpanel.setImage(bufim); //xFrame);

That's great. As you already know, it works. Thank you.
I'll figure out why it works tomorrow.
