Diagrams.TwoD.Text

Contents

Description

Very basic text primitives along with associated attributes.

Synopsis

Creating text diagrams

data Text

A text primitive consists of the string contents and alignment specification, along with two transformations: the first accumulates all transformations which have been applied to the text; the second accumulates normalized, "anti-scaled" versions of the transformations which have had their average scaling component removed.

Constructors

Text T2 T2 TextAlignment String 

data TextAlignment

TextAlignment specifies the alignment of the text's origin.

text :: Renderable Text b => String -> Diagram b R2

Create a primitive text diagram from the given string, with center alignment, equivalent to alignedText 0.5 0.5.

Note that it takes up no space, as text size information is not available.

topLeftText :: Renderable Text b => String -> Diagram b R2

Create a primitive text diagram from the given string, origin at the top left corner of the text's bounding box, equivalent to alignedText 0 1.

Note that it takes up no space.

alignedText :: Renderable Text b => Double -> Double -> String -> Diagram b R2

Create a primitive text diagram from the given string, with the origin set to a point interpolated within the bounding box. The first parameter varies from 0 (left) to 1 (right), and the second parameter from 0 (bottom) to 1 (top).

The height of this box is determined by the font's potential ascent and descent, rather than the height of the particular string.

Note that it takes up no space.

baselineText :: Renderable Text b => String -> Diagram b R2

Create a primitive text diagram from the given string, with the origin set to be on the baseline, at the beginning (although not bounding). This is the reference point of showText in the Cairo graphics library.

Note that it takes up no space.

Text attributes

Font family

newtype Font

The Font attribute specifies the name of a font family. Inner Font attributes override outer ones.

Constructors

Font (Last String) 

getFont :: Font -> String

Extract the font family name from a Font attribute.

font :: HasStyle a => String -> a -> a

Specify a font family to be used for all text within a diagram.

Font size

newtype FontSize

The FontSize attribute specifies the size of a font's em-square. Inner FontSize attributes override outer ones.

Constructors

FontSize (Last (Measure R2, Bool)) 

getFontSize :: FontSize -> Measure R2

Extract the size from a FontSize attribute.

getFontSizeIsLocal :: FontSize -> Bool

Determine whether a FontSize attribute began its life measured in Local units.

fontSizeA :: (HasStyle a, V a ~ R2) => FontSize -> a -> a

Apply a FontSize attribute.

fontSize :: (HasStyle a, V a ~ R2) => Measure R2 -> a -> a

Set the font size, that is, the size of the font's em-square as measured within the current local vector space. The default size is 1.

fontSizeN :: (HasStyle a, V a ~ R2) => Double -> a -> a

A convenient synonym for 'fontSize (Normalized w)'.

fontSizeO :: (HasStyle a, V a ~ R2) => Double -> a -> a

A convenient synonym for 'fontSize (Output w)'.

fontSizeL :: (HasStyle a, V a ~ R2) => Double -> a -> a

A convenient sysnonym for 'fontSize (Local w)'.

fontSizeG :: (HasStyle a, V a ~ R2) => Double -> a -> a

A convenient synonym for 'fontSize (Global w)'.

Font slant

data FontSlantA

The FontSlantA attribute specifies the slant (normal, italic, or oblique) that should be used for all text within a diagram. Inner FontSlantA attributes override outer ones.

getFontSlant :: FontSlantA -> FontSlant

Extract the font slant from a FontSlantA attribute.

fontSlant :: HasStyle a => FontSlant -> a -> a

Specify the slant (normal, italic, or oblique) that should be used for all text within a diagram. See also italic and oblique for useful special cases.

italic :: HasStyle a => a -> a

Set all text in italics.

oblique :: HasStyle a => a -> a

Set all text using an oblique slant.

Font weight

data FontWeightA

The FontWeightA attribute specifies the weight (normal or bold) that should be used for all text within a diagram. Inner FontWeightA attributes override outer ones.

getFontWeight :: FontWeightA -> FontWeight

Extract the font weight from a FontWeightA attribute.

fontWeight :: HasStyle a => FontWeight -> a -> a

Specify the weight (normal or bold) that should be used for all text within a diagram. See also bold for a useful special case.

bold :: HasStyle a => a -> a

Set all text using a bold font weight.
