New Features

Introducing the new CharacterAttributeKit feature, which allows for the configuration of individual character attributes, similar to the functionality of TextAttributeKit. However, while TextAttributeKit applies to entire text blocks or segments, CharacterAttributeKit is designed specifically for individual characters. This feature offers a distinct set of options, with some overlap, providing more granular control over character-level attributes, as follows:

  • Color
  • Font
  • HorizontalOffset
  • Invisible
  • Omitted
  • Rotation
  • Size
  • Slant
  • VerticalOffset
  • WidthScale

API Changes

  • SetCharacterAttribute() and SetCharacterAttributes() have been added to provide the capability of controlling attributes of specific character(s) in a text string. SetCharacterAttributes() is overloaded to take either a CharacterAttributeKit or a CharacterAttributKitArray.
  • UnsetCharacterAttributes() removes per-character attributes from a text string. This is also overloaded to take either a CharacterAttributeKit or a CharacterAttributKitArray.
  • ShowCharacterAttributes() shows the per-character attributes set on a text string.
