How to build a 8.5 x 11 inch "Poster" PNG or JPG from Text and Pics

Question

I need to build a Poster (8 1/2 by 11) using data entered by the user and pictures and place that poster in the user's media library. It looks like BitmapImage is the mechanism to build either a JPG or PNG image but how do I place text strings and pictures on the image in a grid/form fashion?

TIA, George

If you need to place things in a grid ina form-style, it might be worth building it up in XAML or in code and then using WriteableBitmap to render it to a bitmap.

You might find the following posts useful to achieve this:

Thanks, I see part of my solution here in using the WriteableBitmap to create the bmp and now see how to capture a screen, but that isn't what I'm trying to solve right now. The pointer on the WriteableBitmap is part of what I couldn't find. – George Aguiar Feb 10 '11 at 15:23

For an example of combining images and text see how do i add text to image in c# or vb.net

Of course, any image can be printed at any size, it depends on the quality you want.
