Draw XXL documentation
DrawText: Rich Text Markup
Draw XXL supports rich text markup tags everywhere where a text is drawn. This is obviously the case for "DrawText.Write()" and alike, but you can use it also on many other occasions: In the text tag of a line, a vector, a point text tag, a shape text tag, the title or the line names of charts - simply everywhere where Draw XXL uses text.| Source Text | Result |
|---|---|
| This is<br>text with<br>line breaks. |  |
| This is <b>bold</b> text. |  |
| Stroke width:<br>Text with <sw=80000>variable boldness</sw>. * |  |
| This is text in <i>italics</i>. |  |
| This is <u>underlined</u> text. |  |
| This is <d>deleted</d> text. |  |
| This is text with variable <size=40>size</size>. ** |  |
| This is text with variable <color=red>color</color>. *** |  |
| This is text with<br>an embedded icon: <icon=crown> **** |  |
* The value is in parts per million of the letter width. The maximum value is 240000.
** A value of 11 means: normal unscaled text size.
*** The color can be supplied as color name or in # hexadecimal format, in the same way as Unitys own color markup does it: See here and here
**** These icons are available.
There are also some utility functions available in the DrawText class which make it easier to put your text into the markup tags. They return the text string enclosed in markup tags. The available utility functions are:
