## Member Function Documentation

virtual void irr::gui::IGUIFont::draw | ( | const core::stringw & | text,
|  | const core::rect< s32 > & | position,
|  | video::SColor | color,
|  | bool | hcenter = `false`,
|  | bool | vcenter = `false`,
|  | const core::rect< s32 > * | clip = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[pure virtual]`

Draws some text and clips it to the specified rectangle if wanted.

Parameters:

  | text,: | Text to draw
  | position,: | Rectangle specifying position where to draw the text.
  | color,: | Color of the text
  | hcenter,: | Specifies if the text should be centered horizontally into the rectangle.
  | vcenter,: | Specifies if the text should be centered vertically into the rectangle.
  | clip,: | Optional pointer to a rectangle against which the text will be clipped. If the pointer is null, no clipping will be done.

virtual s32 irr::gui::IGUIFont::getCharacterFromPos | ( | const wchar_t * | text,
|  | s32 | pixel_x |
| ) |  |  | const`[pure virtual]`

Calculates the index of the character in the text which is on a specific position.

Parameters:

  | text,: | Text string.
  | pixel_x,: | X pixel position of which the index of the character will be returned.

Returns:
  Returns zero based index of the character in the text, and -1 if no no character is on this position. (=the text is too short).

virtual core::dimension2d<u32> irr::gui::IGUIFont::getDimension | ( | const wchar_t * | text | ) | const`[pure virtual]`

Calculates the width and height of a given string of text.

Returns:
  Returns width and height of the area covered by the text if it would be drawn.

virtual s32 irr::gui::IGUIFont::getKerningHeight | ( |  | ) | const`[pure virtual]`

Returns the distance between letters.

virtual s32 irr::gui::IGUIFont::getKerningWidth | ( | const wchar_t * | thisLetter = `0`,
|  | const wchar_t * | previousLetter = `0` |
| ) |  |  | const`[pure virtual]`

Gets kerning values (distance between letters) for the font. If no parameters are provided,.

the global kerning distance is returned.

Parameters:

  | thisLetter,: | If this parameter is provided, the left side kerning for this letter is added to the global kerning value. For example, a space might only be one pixel wide, but it may be displayed as several pixels.
  | previousLetter,: | If provided, kerning is calculated for both letters and added to the global kerning value. For example, in a font which supports kerning pairs a string such as 'Wo' may have the 'o' tucked neatly under the 'W'.

Implemented in irr::gui::IGUIFontBitmap.

virtual EGUI_FONT_TYPE irr::gui::IGUIFont::getType | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, virtual]`

Returns the type of this font.

Reimplemented in irr::gui::IGUIFontBitmap.

References irr::gui::EGFT_CUSTOM.

virtual void irr::gui::IGUIFont::setInvisibleCharacters | ( | const wchar_t * | s | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Define which characters should not be drawn by the font.

For example " " would not draw any space which is usually blank in most fonts.

Parameters:

  | s | String of symbols which are not send down to the videodriver

virtual void irr::gui::IGUIFont::setKerningHeight | ( | s32 | kerning | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Sets global kerning height for the font.

virtual void irr::gui::IGUIFont::setKerningWidth | ( | s32 | kerning | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Sets global kerning width for the font.
