setTextAlignment :: Alignment -> Draw Alignment
Drawing text
text :: Point -> String -> Graphic
Render a `String` positioned relative to the specified `Point`.
textInfo :: String -> Draw (Point, Size)
``textInfo` s` returns: The offset at which the string would be drawn according to the current text alignment (e.g., `(`Center`, `Baseline`)` will result in an offset of (-width/2,0)) The size at which the text would be drawn using the current font.
Color
data RGB
A color, comprising red, green and blue components.
Constructors
RGB Word8 Word8 Word8 |
setTextColor :: RGB -> Draw RGB
Set the foreground color for drawing text, returning the previous value.
setBkColor :: RGB -> Draw RGB
Set the background color for drawing text, returning the previous value. The background color is ignored when the mode is `Transparent`.
data BkMode
Background mode for drawing text.
Constructors
Opaque | Draw text on a bounding rectangle filled with the current background color.
Transparent | Draw text without a background rectangle.
setBkMode :: BkMode -> Draw BkMode
Set the background mode for drawing text, returning the previous value.
Alignment
type Alignment = (HAlign, VAlign)
How strings drawn with `text` are positioned relative to the specified reference point.
data HAlign
Horizontal alignment of text. Names have a tick to distinguish them from Prelude names.
Constructors
Left' | align the left edge of the text with the reference point
Center | center the text with the reference point
Right' | align the right edge of the text with the reference point
Instances
Enum HAlign
Eq HAlign
Ix HAlign
Ord HAlign
Show HAlign
data VAlign
Vertical alignment of text.
Constructors
Top | align the top edge of the text with the reference point
Baseline | align the baseline of the text with the reference point
Bottom | align the bottom edge of the text with the reference point
Instances
Enum VAlign
Eq VAlign
Ix VAlign
Ord VAlign
Show VAlign
setTextAlignment :: Alignment -> Draw Alignment
Set the alignment for drawing text, returning the previous value.
