Text
- class HPS.Text : public IDisposable
The Text class is a concept class for text-related enum classes.
Public Types
- enum Alignment
Enumeration of the alignments used for text string. These define what the insertion point for a text string is measured with respect to.
Values:
- TopLeft
Insertion point is the top left corner of the text string.
- CenterLeft
Insertion point is the center of the left side of the text string.
- BottomLeft
Insertion point is the bottom left corner of the text string.
- TopCenter
Insertion point is the center of the top side of the text string.
- Center
Insertion point is the vertical and horizontal center of the text string.
- BottomCenter
Insertion point is the center of the bottom side of the text string.
- TopRight
Insertion point is the top right corner of the text string.
- CenterRight
Insertion point is the center of the right side of the text string.
- BottomRight
Insertion point is the bottom right corner of the text string.
- enum GreekingMode
Enumerates the greeking modes. These define what to draw in place of characters once they fall below the greeking limit.
Values:
- Nothing
Nothing will be drawn for characters below the greeking limit.
- Lines
A grid of lines will be drawn in place of characters below the greeking limit.
- Box
A filled box will be drawn in place of characters below the greeking limit.
- enum GreekingUnits
Enumerates the units for greeking limits.
Values:
- SubscreenRelative
Fraction of the height of the outermost window.
- WindowRelative
Fraction of the height of the local window.
- Points
Points units typically used for text size. 1 point corresponds to 1/72 inch.
- Pixels
Number of pixels.
- enum Justification
Enumerates the justifications used for multiline text strings.
Values:
- Left
Multiline strings will be left justified.
- Right
Multiline strings will be right justified.
- Center
Multiline strings will be center justified.
- enum LeaderLineSpace
Enumerates the spaces in which leader lines can be defined.
Values:
- enum MarginUnits
Enumerates the units for background margins.
Values:
- SubscreenRelative
Fraction of the height of the outermost window.
- WindowRelative
Fraction of the height of the local window.
- Points
Points units typically used for text size. 1 point corresponds to 1/72 inch.
- Pixels
Number of pixels.
- Percent
Percentage of the requested font height.
- enum Preference
Enumerates the font type preferences for text strings. These define the types of fonts Visualize will use.
Values:
- Default
Use the default font type for the current driver.
- Vector
Use vector fonts.
- Raster
Use raster or bitmap fonts.
- Exterior
Use the font outline (characters will be unfilled).
- enum ReferenceFrame
Enumeration of the reference frames for text alignment and justification.
Values:
- WorldAligned
Alignment and justification will be defined relative to a screen-facing box around the text.
- PathAligned
Alignment and justification will be defined relative to a text-path-aligned box around the text.
- enum RegionAlignment
Enumerates the alignments for text regions. These define how text strings will be positioned relative to the line defining the text region.
Values:
- enum RegionFitting
Enumerates how text is arranged within a region.
Values:
- Spacing
Text will be stretched or squeezed to fill the region line and character width will not change (characters may overlap).
- enum Renderer
Enumerates the renderers for text strings. These define the font-handling subsystems Visualize uses to find and render fonts.
Values:
- Default
All font-handling subsystems will be used.
- Driver
Only driver fonts will be used. If a non-driver font is requested, the stroked font will be used instead.
- Truetype
Only TrueType fonts will be used. If a non-TrueType font is requested, the stroked font will be used instead.
- enum Rotation
Values:
- None
Characters are not rotated.
- Rotate
Characters are rotated clockwise by a specified angle.
- FollowPath
Characters are rotated such that they will be perpendicular to the text path.
- enum SizeToleranceUnits
Enumerates the units for size tolerances.
Values:
- SubscreenRelative
Fraction of the height of the outermost window.
- WindowRelative
Fraction of the height of the local window.
- Points
Points units typically used for text size. 1 point corresponds to 1/72 inch.
- Pixels
Number of pixels.
- Percent
Percentage of the requested font size defining the lower limit on the smallest font size that can be substituted in the requested’s place.
