Types:
Available fonts
typedef enum {
Font_Default = 0,
Font_DefaultSelect,
Font_Small,
MAX_FONTS
} FontType;
Output styles
typedef enum {
Style_Center = 0,
Style_LeftJustify,
Style_RightJustify,
} FontStyle;
Font struct
typedef struct {
geBitmap* Bitmap;
int32 FontWidth; //default is 16, or 8 for Font_Small
int32 FontHeight; //default is 16 for all fonts
int32 AddWidth; // default is 13, or 7 for Font_Small
int32 AddHeight; // default is 21, or 18 for Font_Small
} Font_Type;
geBoolean Text_Create(geEngine* SaveEngine );
Create everything required for text output.
Uses names in global variables Dir, FontNames[], Ext to open graphic font files. Information about opened fonts is stored in global Fonts[]. Note: if user specifies a different graphic font file for use, then Font[].FontWidth and Font[].FontHeight must be manual reset. Sets transparency color index value for font to be index 255.
SaveEngine: engine used for output, which gets saved
geBoolean Text_Destroy(void ); // no parameters
Free everything
int32 Text_GetWidth(FontType Font );
Get the width of a font
Font: font whose width we want
int32 Text_GetHeight(FontType Font );
Get the height of a font
Font: font whose height we want
geBoolean Text_Out(char* Text, FontType Font, int32 x, int32 y, FontStyle Style );
Output a text string.
Uses loaded bitmap fonts to put Text to screen, starting at x, y, in specified Style.
Text: string to output
Font: font to use
x: x location
y: y location
Style: output style
