Text:addf

Available since LÖVE 0.10.0
This function is not supported in earlier versions.

Adds additional formatted / colored text to the Text object at the specified position.

The word wrap limit is applied before any scaling, rotation, and other coordinate transformations. Therefore the amount of text per line stays constant given the same wrap limit, even if the scale arguments change.

Text may appear blurry if it's rendered at non-integer pixel locations.

Function

Synopsis

index = Text:addf( textstring, wraplimit, alignmode, x, y, angle, sx, sy, ox, oy, kx, ky )

Arguments

string textstring

The text to add to the object.

number wraplimit

The maximum width in pixels of the text before it gets automatically wrapped to a new line.

AlignMode align

The alignment of the text.

number x

The position of the new text (x-axis).

number y

The position of the new text (y-axis).

number angle (0)

Orientation (radians).

number sx (1)

Scale factor (x-axis).

number sy (sx)

Scale factor (y-axis).

number ox (0)

Origin offset (x-axis).

number oy (0)

Origin offset (y-axis).

number kx (0)

Shearing / skew factor (x-axis).

number ky (0)

Shearing / skew factor (y-axis).

Returns

number index

An index number that can be used with Text:getWidth or Text:getHeight.
