bn::sprite_text_generator class
#include <bn_sprite_text_generator.h>

Generates sprites containing text from a given sprite_font.

Currently, it supports 4 bits per pixel (16 colors) fixed width AND variable width characters.

Text can be printed in one sprite per character or multiple characters per sprite.

Also, UTF-8 characters are supported.

Public types

enum class alignment_type: uint8_t { LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT }: Available horizontal alignment types.

Public functions

auto font() const -> const sprite_font&: Returns the sprite font for drawing text.
auto palette_item() const -> const sprite_palette_item&: Returns the sprite_palette_item that generates the color palette used by the text sprites.
void set_palette_item(const sprite_palette_item& palette_item): Sets the 16 colors (4 bits per pixel) sprite_palette_item that generates the color palette used by the text sprites.
auto alignment() const -> alignment_type: Returns the horizontal alignment of the output text sprites.
void set_alignment(alignment_type alignment): Sets the horizontal alignment of the output text sprites.
void set_left_alignment(): Sets the horizontal alignment of the output text sprites to the left.
void set_center_alignment(): Sets the horizontal alignment of the output text sprites to the center.
void set_right_alignment(): Sets the horizontal alignment of the output text sprites to the right.
auto bg_priority() const -> int: Returns the priority of the output sprites priority relative to backgrounds.

auto z_order() const -> int: Returns the priority of the output sprites relative to other sprites.
void set_z_order(int z_order): Sets the priority of the output sprites relative to other sprites.
auto one_sprite_per_character() const -> bool: Indicates if this sprite_text_generator must generate one sprite per character or print multiple characters in each output sprite, generating as less sprites as possible.
void set_one_sprite_per_character(bool one_sprite_per_character): Sets if this sprite_text_generator must generate one sprite per character or print multiple characters in each output sprite, generating as less sprites as possible.

template<int MaxSprites> auto generate(fixed x, fixed y, const string_view& text) const -> vector<sprite_ptr, MaxSprites>: Generates text sprites for the given single line of text.
template<int MaxSprites> auto generate(const fixed_point& position, const string_view& text) const -> vector<sprite_ptr, MaxSprites>: Generates text sprites for the given single line of text.
void generate(fixed x, fixed y, const string_view& text, ivector<sprite_ptr>& output_sprites) const: Generates text sprites for the given single line of text.
void generate(const fixed_point& position, const string_view& text, ivector<sprite_ptr>& output_sprites) const: Generates text sprites for the given single line of text.
auto generate_optional(fixed x, fixed y, const string_view& text, ivector<sprite_ptr>& output_sprites) const -> bool: Generates text sprites for the given single line of text.
auto generate_optional(const fixed_point& position, const string_view& text, ivector<sprite_ptr>& output_sprites) const -> bool: Generates text sprites for the given single line of text.

Enum documentation

enum class bn::sprite_text_generator::alignment_type: uint8_t

Available horizontal alignment types.

Enumerators
LEFT	Aligns with the left text edge.
CENTER	Aligns with the middle of the text.
RIGHT	Aligns with the right text edge.

Function documentation

bn::sprite_text_generator::sprite_text_generator(const sprite_font& font) explicit

Constructor.

Parameters
font	Sprite font for drawing text.

bn::sprite_text_generator::sprite_text_generator(const sprite_font& font, const sprite_palette_item& palette_item)

Constructor.

Parameters
font	Sprite font for drawing text.
palette_item	16 colors (4 bits per pixel) sprite_palette_item that generates the color palette used by the text sprites.

int bn::sprite_text_generator::bg_priority() const

Returns the priority of the output sprites priority relative to backgrounds.

Sprites with higher priority are drawn first (and therefore can be covered by later sprites and backgrounds). Sprites cover backgrounds of the same priority.

void bn::sprite_text_generator::set_bg_priority(int bg_priority)

Sets the priority of the output sprites relative to backgrounds.

Parameters
bg_priority	Priority relative to backgrounds in the range [0..3].

Sprites with higher priority are drawn first (and therefore can be covered by later sprites and backgrounds). Sprites cover backgrounds of the same priority.

int bn::sprite_text_generator::z_order() const

Returns the priority of the output sprites relative to other sprites.

Sprites with higher z orders are drawn first (and therefore can be covered by later sprites).

void bn::sprite_text_generator::set_z_order(int z_order)

Sets the priority of the output sprites relative to other sprites.

Parameters
z_order	Priority relative to other sprites in the range [-32767..32767].

Sprites with higher z orders are drawn first (and therefore can be covered by later sprites).
