drawUIText

GraphicsModuleInterface::drawUIText

Draws text on the User Interface.

Declaration

virtual void drawUIText(FontID fontID, const std::wstring& text, AnchorPoint anchorPoint, CoordinateType coordinateType, const Math::vec2& position, float rotation, const Math::vec2& scale, const Math::vec4& color) = 0;

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
fontID	FontID	The font to use to draw the text.
text	const std::wstring&	The text to draw.
anchorPoint	AnchorPoint	The anchor point of the text.
coordinateType	CoordinateType	The coordinate type used by `position`.
position	const Math::vec2&	The position where the text will be drawn.
rotation	float	The rotation of the text.
scale	const Math::vec2&	The scale of the text.
color	const Math::vec4&	The color and opacity of the text.

Returns

None.

Notes

If text is directly written on the source code, the string literal “L” must be used, for example: L”NutshellEngine”.

If a scale’s axis (x or y) is negative, the text will be flipped. For example, if scale is equal to Math::vec2(-1.0f, 1.0f), the text will have its original proportion but will be flipped horizontally.
