Overview ¶
Package text offers functions to draw texts on an Ebitengine's image.
For the example using a TTF font, see font package in the examples.

Functions ¶
func BoundString
deprecated
BoundString returns the measured size of a given string using a given font. This method will return the exact size in pixels that a string drawn by Draw will be. The bound's origin point indicates the origin position in this figure: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/TextFonts/Conceptual/CocoaTextArchitecture/Art/glyphterms_2x.png.
BoundString behaves almost exactly like golang.org/x/image/font's BoundString, but newline characters '\n' in the input string move the text position to the following line.
face is the font for text rendering. text is the string that's being measured.
Be careful that the passed font face is held by this package and is never released. This is a known issue (#498).
BoundString is concurrent-safe.
Deprecated: as of v2.6. Use golang.org/x/image/font.BoundString instead, or use a face's Metrics (Ascent and Descent) and font.MeasureString instead.
func CacheGlyphs ¶
CacheGlyphs precaches the glyphs for the given text and the given font face into the cache.
Glyphs used for rendering are cached in least-recently-used way. Then old glyphs might be evicted from the cache. As the cache capacity has limit, it is not guaranteed that all the glyphs for runes given at CacheGlyphs are cached. The cache is shared with Draw.
Draw/DrawWithOptions and CacheGlyphs are implemented like this:
Draw = Create glyphs by `(*ebiten.Image).WritePixels` and put them into the cache if necessary
+ Draw them onto the destination by `(*ebiten.Image).DrawImage`
CacheGlyphs = Create glyphs by `(*ebiten.Image).WritePixels` and put them into the cache if necessary
Draw automatically creates and caches necessary glyphs, so usually you don't have to call CacheGlyphs explicitly. However, for example, when you call Draw for each rune of one big text, Draw tries to create the glyph cache and render it for each rune. This is very inefficient because creating a glyph image and rendering it are different operations (`(*ebiten.Image).WritePixels` and `(*ebiten.Image).DrawImage`) and can never be merged as one draw call. CacheGlyphs creates necessary glyphs without rendering them so that these operations are likely merged into one draw call regardless of the size of the text.
If a rune's glyph is already cached, CacheGlyphs does nothing for the rune.
One rune can have multiple variations of glyphs due to sub-pixels in X direction. CacheGlyphs creates all such variations for one rune, while Draw creates only necessary glyphs.
func Draw ¶
Draw draws a given text on a given destination image dst.
face is the font for text rendering. (x, y) represents the origin position in this figure: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/TextFonts/Conceptual/CocoaTextArchitecture/Art/glyphterms_2x.png. Be careful that this doesn't represent upper-left corner position.
clr is the color for text rendering.
The '\n' newline character puts the following text on the next line. Line height is based on Metrics().Height of the font.
Glyphs used for rendering are cached in least-recently-used way. Then old glyphs might be evicted from the cache. As the cache capacity has limit, it is not guaranteed that all the glyphs for runes given at Draw are cached. The cache is shared with CacheGlyphs.
It is OK to call Draw with a same text and a same face at every frame in terms of performance.
Draw/DrawWithOptions and CacheGlyphs are implemented like this:
Draw = Create glyphs by `(*ebiten.Image).WritePixels` and put them into the cache if necessary
+ Draw them onto the destination by `(*ebiten.Image).DrawImage`
CacheGlyphs = Create glyphs by `(*ebiten.Image).WritePixels` and put them into the cache if necessary
Be careful that the passed font face is held by this package and is never released. This is a known issue (#498).
Draw is concurrent-safe.
func DrawWithOptions ¶
func DrawWithOptions(dst *ebiten.Image, text string, face font.Face, options *ebiten.DrawImageOptions)
DrawWithOptions draws a given text on a given destination image dst.
face is the font for text rendering. op is the options to draw glyph images. The origin point is the origin position in this figure: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/TextFonts/Conceptual/CocoaTextArchitecture/Art/glyphterms_2x.png. Be careful that the origin point is not upper-left corner position of dst. The default glyph color is white. op's ColorM adjusts the color.
The '\n' newline character puts the following text on the next line. Line height is based on Metrics().Height of the font.
Glyphs used for rendering are cached in least-recently-used way. Then old glyphs might be evicted from the cache. As the cache capacity has limit, it is not guaranteed that all the glyphs for runes given at DrawWithOptions are cached. The cache is shared with CacheGlyphs.

Draw/DrawWithOptions and CacheGlyphs are implemented like this:

Types ¶
type Glyph ¶
type Glyph struct {
// Rune is a character for this glyph.
Rune rune
// Image is an image for this glyph.
// Image is a grayscale image i.e. RGBA values are the same.
// Image should be used as a render source and should not be modified.
Image *ebiten.Image
// X is the X position to render this glyph.
// The position is determined in a sequence of characters given at AppendGlyphs.
// The position's origin is the first character's dot ('.') position.
X float64
// Y is the Y position to render this glyph.
// The position is determined in a sequence of characters given at AppendGlyphs.
// The position's origin is the first character's dot ('.') position.
Y float64
}
Glyph is information to render one glyph.
