|
|||
|
||||
If no default\_font given or if default\_font given but not registered, the first registered font will be used as default.
|
||||
|
||||
## Provided methods
|
||||
## Use font_api with display_api (to display text on nodes)
|
||||
### Base setup
|
||||
Font_api offers a direct integration with display_api to display text on nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, create a display node with an entity.
|
||||
To do this, refer to API.md in display_api mod, in particular "Howto register a display node".
|
||||
|
||||
The only requirement then is to connect the `on_display_update` callback of the display entity to `font_api.on_display_update`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
minetest.register_node("mymod:test_text_node", {
|
||||
...
|
||||
paramtype2 = "facedir",
|
||||
...
|
||||
groups = { display_api = 1, ... },
|
||||
...
|
||||
display_entities = {
|
||||
["mymod:text"] = {
|
||||
depth = -0.5 - display_api.entity_spacing,
|
||||
on_display_update = font_api.on_display_update },
|
||||
}
|
||||
...
|
||||
on_place = display_api.on_place,
|
||||
on_construct = display_api.on_construct,
|
||||
on_destruct = display_api.on_destruct,
|
||||
on_rotate = display_api.on_rotate,
|
||||
...
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
At this step, your node already displays text form "display_text" (hardcoded) node meta.
|
||||
|
||||
But it uses defaults (default font, default size, default color). Likely you need something more.
|
||||
|
||||
### Style your text
|
||||
Font style and size can be chosen by adding some more entries to the display_entities definition table.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Font size
|
||||
Font size can be defined in various ways (maybe more in the future).
|
||||
Start with a number of lines, and font_api will make it fit to the entity size.
|
||||
* `maxlines` or `lines`: Number of maximum lines of text to be displayed. The font height will be adjusted accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
Then specify the char width. Two methods available:
|
||||
* `aspect_ratio`: Defines the aspect ratio of chars. Works with all fonts. Should not be used if `columns` is specified.
|
||||
* `columns`: Only if using a fixed width font, specifies the number of columns to display.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Font style
|
||||
* `font_name`: name of the font to use. Should correspond to a registered font (from a font mod). If not specified or font not found, default font is used.
|
||||
* `color`: color to be used (default black).
|
||||
* `halign`: Horizontal alignment: "left", "center" or "right" (default "center").
|
||||
* `valign`: Vertical alignement: "top", "middle" or "bottom" (default "middle").
|
||||
|
||||
## Provided methods
|
||||
### font_api.get_default_font_name()
|
||||
Returns de default font name.
|
||||
|
||||
### font_api.register_font(font_name, font_def)
|
||||
Register a new font.
|
||||
**font_name**: Name of the font to register. If registering different sizes of the same font, add size in the font name (e.g. times_10, times_12...).
|
||||
**font_def**: Font definition table (see **Font definition table** below).
|
||||
* `font_name`: Name of the font to register. If registering different sizes of the same font, add size in the font name (e.g. times_10, times_12...).
|
||||
* `font_def`: Font definition table (see **Font definition table** below).
|
||||
|
||||
### font_api.on_display_update(pos, objref)
|
||||
Standard on_display_update entity callback.
|
||||
|
||||
**pos**: Node position
|
||||
|
||||
**objref**: Object reference of entity
|
||||
* `pos`: Node position
|
||||
* `objref`: Object reference of entity
|
||||
|
||||
Node should have a corresponding display_entity with size, resolution and maxlines fields and optionally halign, valign and color fields.
|
||||
|
||||
### Font definition table
|
||||
Font definition table used by **font_api.register_font** and **font\_api.Font:new** may/can contain following elements:
|
||||
|
||||
* **height** (required): Font height in pixels (all font textures should have the same height) .
|
||||
* **widths** (required): Array of character widths in pixels, indexed by UTF codepoints.
|
||||
* **margintop** (optional): Margin (in texture pixels) added on top of each char texture.
|
||||
* **marginbottom** (optional): Margin (in texture pixels) added at bottom of each char texture.
|
||||
* **linespacing** (optional): Spacing (in texture pixels) between each lines.
|
||||
* `height` (required): Font height in pixels (all font textures should have the same height) .
|
||||
* `widths` (required): Array of character widths in pixels, indexed by UTF codepoints.
|
||||
* `margintop` (optional): Margin (in texture pixels) added on top of each char texture.
|
||||
* `marginbottom` (optional): Margin (in texture pixels) added at bottom of each char texture.
|
||||
* `linespacing` (optional): Spacing (in texture pixels) between each lines.
|
||||
|
||||
**margintop**, **marginbottom** and **linespacing** can be negative numbers (default 0) and are to be used to adjust various font styles to each other.

||||
`margintop`, `marginbottom` and `linespacing` can be negative numbers (default 0) and are to be used to adjust various font styles to each other.
|
||||
|
||||
Font must have a char 0 which will be used to display any unknown char.
