A text layout and render component for Cinder.
Admittedly this project does not aim to be completely typographically correct, though that may change in the future. The main aim of this project is to provide a combination of features (namely leading, wrapping, word spacing and measurability) that the other various Cinder classes do not accomodate.
Cinder ships with three classes for drawing text. Below is a feature matrix for the three native Cinder text rendering classes and this project.
| class | wrapping | leading | word-space | measurable | append text | append line | clear text | multiple fonts | resizable | align |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TextBox | yes | no | no | yes | yes | no | yes | no | yes | l,r,c |
| TextLayout | no | yes | no | no | yes | yes | no | yes | yes | l,r,c |
| TextureFont | yes | no | no | yes | no | no | no | no | yes | none |
| CinderText | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | no | yes | l,r |
