Parameter

Description

height

Required. Height in pixels of the image.

width

text

Required. Text string displayed in the CAPTCHA image. Use capital letters for better readability. Do not include spaces because users cannot detect them in the resulting CAPTCHA image.

  • low
  • medium
  • high

font

Optional. One or more valid fonts to use for the CAPTCHA text. Separate multiple fonts with commas. ColdFusion supports only the system fonts that the JDK can recognize. For example, TTF fonts in the Windows directory are supported on Windows.
