Function Documentation

t_jtextlayout* jtextlayout_create ( )

Create a new textlayout object.

Returns: The new textlayout object.

t_jpath* jtextlayout_createpath ( t_jtextlayout * tl )

Create a t_jpath object representing the text layout.

Parameters

tl	The textlayout object to retrieve a path for.

Returns: A t_jpath. When finished with the path free it with jgraphics_path_destroy.

void jtextlayout_destroy ( t_jtextlayout * textlayout )

Release/free a textlayout object.

Parameters

textlayout The textlayout object to release.

void jtextlayout_draw	(	t_jtextlayout *	tl,
		t_jgraphics *	g
	)

Draw a textlayout in a given graphics context.

Parameters

tl	The textlayout object to query.
g	The graphics context in which to draw the text.

t_max_err jtextlayout_getchar	(	t_jtextlayout *	tl,
		long	index,
		long *	pch
	)

Retrieve the unicode character at a given index.

Parameters

tl	The textlayout object to query.
index	The index from which to fetch the unicode character.
pch	The address of a variable to hold the unicode character value upon return.

Returns: A Max error code.

t_max_err jtextlayout_getcharbox	(	t_jtextlayout *	tl,
		long	index,
		t_rect *	rect
	)

Retrieve the t_rect containing a character at a given index.

Parameters

tl	The textlayout object to query.
index	The index from which to fetch the unicode character.
rect	The address of a valid t_rect which will be filled in upon return.

Returns: A Max error code.

long jtextlayout_getnumchars ( t_jtextlayout * tl )

Retrieve a count of the number of characters in a textlayout object.

Parameters

tl	The textlayout object to query.

Returns: The number of characters.

void jtextlayout_measuretext	(	t_jtextlayout *	textlayout,
		long	startindex,
		long	numchars,
		long	includewhitespace,
		double *	width,
		double *	height,
		long *	numlines
	)

Return a measurement of how much space will be required to draw the text of a textlayout.

Parameters

textlayout	The textlayout object to query.
startindex	You can measure a subset of the characters. This defines the character from which to start.
numchars	Pass -1 for all characters from startindex to end
includewhitespace	Define whether to measure with or without whitespace truncated from edges.
width	Returns the width of text not including any margins.
height	Returns the height of text not including any margins.
numlines	Returns the number of lines of text.

void jtextlayout_set	(	t_jtextlayout *	textlayout,
		const char *	utf8,
		t_jfont *	jfont,
		double	x,
		double	y,
		double	width,
		double	height,
		t_jgraphics_text_justification	justification,
		t_jgraphics_textlayout_flags	flags
	)

Set the text and attributes of a textlayout object.

Parameters

textlayout	The textlayout object.
utf8	The text to render.
jfont	The font with which to render the text.
x	The text is placed within rect specified by x, y, width, height.
y	The text is placed within rect specified by x, y, width, height.
width	The text is placed within rect specified by x, y, width, height.
height	The text is placed within rect specified by x, y, width, height.
justification	How to justify the text within the rect.
flags	Additional flags to control behaviour.

void jtextlayout_settext	(	t_jtextlayout *	textlayout,
		const char *	utf8,
		t_jfont *	jfont
	)

Set the text of a textlayout object.

Parameters

textlayout	The textlayout object.
utf8	The text to render.
jfont	The font with which to render the text.

void jtextlayout_settextcolor	(	t_jtextlayout *	textlayout,
		t_jrgba *	textcolor
	)

Set the color to render text in a textlayout object.

Parameters

textlayout	The textlayout object for which to set the color.
textcolor	The color for the text.

t_jtextlayout* jtextlayout_withbgcolor	(	t_jgraphics *	g,
		t_jrgba *	bgcolor
	)

Create a new textlayout object.

This gives a hint to the textlayout as to what the text bgcolor will be. It won't actually paint the bg for you. But, it does let it do a better job.

Parameters

g	The graphics context for the textlayout.
bgcolor	The background color for the textlayout.

Returns: The new textlayout object.
