+
+### 📝 **Flexible Array Support**
+
+Both `createImage()` and `createText()` methods accept **single objects** OR **arrays of objects**:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Single Object
+await painter.createImage({
+  source: 'heart',
+  x: 100, y: 100,
+  width: 200, height: 200,
+  shape: { fill: true, color: '#ff6b6b' }
+}, canvasBuffer);
+
+// ✅ Array of Objects
+await painter.createImage([
+  {
+    source: 'rectangle',
+    x: 50, y: 50,
+    width: 100, height: 80,
+    shape: { fill: true, color: '#ff6b6b' }
+  },
+  {
+    source: 'circle',
+    x: 200, y: 50,
+    width: 80, height: 80,
+    shape: { fill: true, color: '#4ecdc4' }
+  },
+  {
+    source: 'star',
+    x: 350, y: 50,
+    width: 80, height: 80,
+    shape: { fill: true, color: '#45b7d1' }
+  }
+], canvasBuffer);
+
+// ✅ Single Text Object
+await painter.createText({
+  text: 'Hello World',
+  x: 100, y: 100,
+  fontSize: 24,
+  color: '#ff6b6b'
+}, canvasBuffer);
+
+// ✅ Array of Text Objects
+await painter.createText([
+  {
+    text: 'Title',
+    x: 100, y: 50,
+    fontSize: 32,
+    bold: true,
+    color: '#2c3e50'
+  },
+  {
+    text: 'Subtitle',
+    x: 100, y: 100,
+    fontSize: 18,
+    color: '#666'
+  },
+  {
+    text: 'Body text with effects',
+    x: 100, y: 150,
+    fontSize: 14,
+    color: '#333',
+    glow: { color: '#ffd700', intensity: 0.5 },
+    shadow: { color: '#000', offsetX: 2, offsetY: 2, blur: 4 }
+  }
+], canvasBuffer);
+```
+
+### 🎨 **Advanced Stroke Styles**
+
+All stroke properties now support **6 different stroke styles**:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Basic Stroke Styles
+await painter.createImage({
+  source: 'rectangle',
+  x: 100, y: 100,
+  width: 200, height: 150,
+  shape: { fill: true, color: '#ffffff' },
+  stroke: {
+    color: '#ff6b6b',
+    width: 8,
+    style: 'dashed'  // solid, dashed, dotted, groove, ridge, double
+  }
+}, canvasBuffer);
+
+// ✅ Gradient Strokes with Styles
+await painter.createImage({
+  source: 'circle',
+  x: 200, y: 200,
+  width: 150, height: 150,
+  shape: { fill: true, color: '#ffffff' },
+  stroke: {
+    gradient: {
+      type: 'linear',
+      colors: [
+        { stop: 0, color: '#ff6b6b' },
+        { stop: 1, color: '#4ecdc4' }
+      ]
+    },
+    width: 6,
+    style: 'ridge'  // Works with all styles!
+  }
+}, canvasBuffer);
+
+// ✅ Text Strokes with Styles
+await painter.createText({
+  text: 'Styled Text',
+  x: 100, y: 100,
+  fontSize: 32,
+  color: '#ffffff',
+  stroke: {
+    color: '#ff6b6b',
+    width: 4,
+    style: 'double'  // All 6 styles supported!
+  }
+}, canvasBuffer);
+```
+
+**Available Stroke Styles:**
+- `solid` - Clean solid line (default)
+- `dashed` - Dashed line pattern
+- `dotted` - Dotted line pattern  
+- `groove` - 3D grooved effect (dark outer, light inner)
+- `ridge` - 3D ridged effect (light outer, dark inner)
+- `double` - Double parallel lines
+
+### 🔤 **Organized Font Management**
+
+Text fonts are now organized in a clean `font` object structure:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ New Font Object Structure
+await painter.createText({
+  text: 'Organized Font',
+  x: 100, y: 100,
+  font: {
+    size: 24,           // Font size in pixels
+    family: 'Arial',    // Font family name
+    name: 'customFont', // Custom font name (for registration)
+    path: './fonts/custom.ttf' // Path to custom font file
+  },
+  color: '#333333',
+  bold: true,
+  italic: true
+}, canvasBuffer);
+
+// ✅ Backward Compatibility (Legacy Properties)
+await painter.createText({
+  text: 'Legacy Font Properties',
+  x: 100, y: 150,
+  fontSize: 24,         // Still works!
+  fontFamily: 'Arial',  // Still works!
+  fontName: 'customFont', // Still works!
+  fontPath: './fonts/custom.ttf', // Still works!
+  color: '#333333'
+}, canvasBuffer);
+
+// ✅ Mixed Usage (New Object Takes Priority)
+await painter.createText({
+  text: 'Mixed Usage',
+  x: 100, y: 200,
+  font: {
+    size: 28,
+    family: 'Georgia'
+  },
+  fontSize: 24,        // Ignored (font.size takes priority)
+  fontFamily: 'Arial', // Ignored (font.family takes priority)
+  color: '#333333'
+}, canvasBuffer);
+```
+
+**Font Object Properties:**
+- `size` - Font size in pixels (replaces `fontSize`)
+- `family` - Font family name (replaces `fontFamily`)
+- `name` - Custom font name for registration (replaces `fontName`)
+- `path` - Path to custom font file (replaces `fontPath`)
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Cleaner Structure**: All font properties in one organized object
+- **Better IntelliSense**: IDE autocomplete for font properties
+- **Backward Compatible**: Legacy properties still work
+- **Priority System**: New `font` object overrides legacy properties
+
+### 🌈 **Advanced Text Gradient Features**
+
+Text effects now support **gradients** for enhanced visual appeal:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Gradient Glow
+await painter.createText({
+  text: 'Gradient Glow Text',
+  x: 100, y: 100,
+  fontSize: 32,
+  color: '#ffffff',
+  glow: {
+    gradient: {
+      type: 'linear',
+      colors: [
+        { stop: 0, color: '#ff6b6b' },
+        { stop: 1, color: '#4ecdc4' }
+      ]
+    },
+    intensity: 15,
+    opacity: 0.9
+  }
+}, canvasBuffer);
+
+// ✅ Gradient Highlight
+await painter.createText({
+  text: 'Gradient Highlight',
+  x: 100, y: 150,
+  fontSize: 24,
+  color: '#000000',
+  highlight: {
+    gradient: {
+      type: 'radial',
