Layer.drawText

Function/Meaning

Draw text

Type

Method of Layer class

Syntax

drawText(x, y, text, color, opa=255, aa=true, shadowlevel=0, shadowcolor=0x000000, shadowwidth=0, shadowofsx=0, shadowofsy=0)

Arguments

x	Specifies the x-coordinate (in image coordinates) of the origin where text drawing starts, in pixels.
y	Specifies the y-coordinate (in image coordinates) of the origin where text drawing starts, in pixels.
text	Specifies the text to be drawn.
color	Specifies the color of the text to be drawn in 0xRRGGBB format.
opa	Specifies the opacity of the text to be drawn (-255 to 0 to 255). Specifying a negative number is only valid when Layer.face is dfAlpha; in this case, opacity is removed in the shape of the characters (the smaller the value, the greater the effect).
aa	Specifies whether to perform anti-aliasing. If true, anti-aliasing is performed. If false, it is not.
shadowlevel	Specifies the opacity of the shadow. The appropriate value varies depending on the shadowwidth argument. If 0 is specified, no shadow is drawn.
shadowcolor	Specifies the color of the shadow in 0xRRGGBB format.
shadowwidth	Specifies the width (blur) of the shadow. 0 is the sharpest (no blur), and increasing the value blurs the shadow.
shadowofsx	Specifies the x-coordinate offset of the shadow position in pixels. If 0 is specified, the shadow is drawn directly below.
shadowofsy	Specifies the y-coordinate offset of the shadow position in pixels. If 0 is specified, the shadow is drawn directly below.

Return Value

None (void)

Description

Draws text on the layer. Drawing is only possible when Layer.face is dfAlpha (or dfBoth), dfAddAlpha, or dfOpaque (or dfMain).
When dfOpaque (or dfMain) is specified, whether the destination mask is destroyed or protected depends on the Layer.holdAlpha property.
The font specified in Layer.font is used.
