DrawVectorText() can also multiline output

[Mesa]

Done.
Freak gave the answer.

Only single-line text is supported everywhere. If it works on some OS you cannot rely on it because this may change in the future.

I see no solution in this statement.

If it works differently than the manual says, one of them is wrong, but not both are right.

Do you want me to change the sentence ?

Remarks

This function draws single lines of text only. Multiple calls must be made to draw multiple lines. Use VectorTextWidth() and VectorTextHeight() to determine the dimensions of the text to draw in order to properly align the text with other content.

The DrawVectorParagraph() function can be used to draw a larger block of text with automatic layout such as line breaks. This function is more suited for drawing multiline text.

Remarks

This function draws single lines of text only. Multiple calls must be made to draw multiple lines because line feed (#LF$, chr(10)) and carriage return (#CR$, chr(13)) will not be taken into account.

I think it's redundant but is that what you want?

It is the same with VectorParagraphHeight()

There it can be really annoying because the text heights are calculated differently.

But it does not matter, you can handle it.
But you have to know it then.

It will probably not change anyway.

Ok, no change.
Done.

Here look how fatal this can be.

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit
; Windows
Define font_ID=LoadFont(#PB_Any, "", 11)
Define image_ID=CreateImage(#PB_Any, 16, 16)
Define text$="aaa"+#LF$+"bbbb"+#LF$+"ccccc"+#LF$+"dddddd"+#LF$+"eeeeeee"
text$+text$+text$+text$+text$+text$+text$+text$+text$+text$
StartVectorDrawing(ImageVectorOutput(image_ID))
VectorFont(FontID(font_ID))
Debug "Text width "+VectorTextWidth(text$)
Debug "Text height false "+Str(VectorTextHeight(text$)*CountString(text$, #LF$)+1)
Debug "Text height ok "+Str(VectorTextHeight(" ")*CountString(text$, #LF$)+1)
StopVectorDrawing()
