Py5Graphics.text()¶
Draws text to the Py5Graphics drawing surface.
Description¶
Draws text to the Py5Graphics drawing surface. Displays the information specified in the first parameter on the drawing surface in the position specified by the additional parameters. A default font will be used unless a font is set with the Py5Graphics.text_font() function and a default size will be used unless a font is set with Py5Graphics.text_size(). Change the color of the text with the Py5Graphics.fill() function. The text displays in relation to the Py5Graphics.text_align() function, which gives the option to draw to the left, right, and center of the coordinates.
The x2 and y2 parameters define a rectangular area to display within and may only be used with string data. When these parameters are specified, they are interpreted based on the current Py5Graphics.rect_mode() setting. Text that does not fit completely within the rectangle specified will not be drawn.
Note that py5 lets you call text() without first specifying a Py5Font with Py5Graphics.text_font(). In that case, a generic sans-serif font will be used instead.
This method is the same as text() but linked to a Py5Graphics object. To see example code for how it can be used, see text().
Underlying Java method: PGraphics.text
Syntax¶
text(c: chr, x: float, y: float, /) -> None
text(c: chr, x: float, y: float, z: float, /) -> None
text(chars: List[chr], start: int, stop: int, x: float, y: float, /) -> None
text(chars: List[chr], start: int, stop: int, x: float, y: float, z: float, /) -> None
text(num: float, x: float, y: float, /) -> None
text(num: float, x: float, y: float, z: float, /) -> None
text(num: int, x: float, y: float, /) -> None
text(num: int, x: float, y: float, z: float, /) -> None
text(str: str, x1: float, y1: float, x2: float, y2: float, /) -> None
text(str: str, x: float, y: float, /) -> None
text(str: str, x: float, y: float, z: float, /) -> None
Parameters¶
c: chr - the alphanumeric character to be displayed
chars: List[chr] - the alphanumberic symbols to be displayed
num: float - the numeric value to be displayed
num: int - the numeric value to be displayed
start: int - array index at which to start writing characters
stop: int - array index at which to stop writing characters
str: str - string to be displayed
x1: float - by default, the x-coordinate of text, see rectMode() for more info
x2: float - by default, the width of the text box, see rectMode() for more info
x: float - x-coordinate of text
y1: float - by default, the y-coordinate of text, see rectMode() for more info
y2: float - by default, the height of the text box, see rectMode() for more info
y: float - y-coordinate of text
z: float - z-coordinate of text
