# TextOut
|
||
|
||
The function displays a text in a custom array (buffer) and returns the result of that operation. The array is designed to create the graphical [resource](/en/docs/common/resourcecreate).
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
bool TextOut(
|
||
const string text, // displayed text
|
||
int x, // X coordinate
|
||
int y, // Y coordinate
|
||
uint anchor, // anchor type
|
||
uint &data[], // output buffer
|
||
uint width, // buffer width in pixels
|
||
uint height, // buffer height in pixels
|
||
uint color, // text color
|
||
ENUM_COLOR_FORMAT color_format // color format for output
|
||
);
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Parameters
|
||
|
||
text
|
||
|
||
[in] Displayed text that will be written to the buffer. Only one-lined text is displayed.
|
||
|
||
x
|
||
|
||
[in] X coordinate of the anchor point of the displayed text.
|
||
|
||
y
|
||
|
||
[in] Y coordinate of the anchor point of the displayed text.
|
||
|
||
anchor
|
||
|
||
[in] The value out of the 9 pre-defined methods of the displayed text's anchor point location. The value is set by a combination of two flags – flags of horizontal and vertical text align. Flag names are listed in the Note below.
|
||
|
||
data[]
|
||
|
||
[in] Buffer, in which text is displayed. The buffer is used to create the graphical [resource](/en/docs/runtime/resources).
|
||
|
||
width
|
||
|
||
[in] Buffer width in pixels.
|
||
|
||
height
|
||
|
||
[in] Buffer height in pixels.
|
||
|
||
color
|
||
|
||
[in] Text color.
|
||
|
||
color_format
|
||
|
||
[in] Color format is set by [ENUM_COLOR_FORMAT](/en/docs/common/resourcecreate#enum_color_format) enumeration value.
|
||
|
||
Return Value
|
||
|
||
Returns true if successful, otherwise false.
|
||
|
||
Note
|
||
|
||
Anchor point specified by anchor is a combination of two flags of horizontal and vertical text align. Horizontal text align flags:
|
||
|
||
- TA_LEFT – anchor point on the left side of the bounding box
|
||
- TA_CENTER – horizontal anchor point is located at the center of the bounding box
|
||
- TA_RIGHT – anchor point on the right side of the bounding box
|
||
|
||
Vertical text align flags:
|
||
|
||
- TA_TOP – anchor point at the upper side of the bounding box
|
||
- TA_VCENTER – vertical anchor point is located at the center of the bounding box
|
||
- TA_BOTTOM – anchor point at the lower side of the bounding box
|
||
|
||
Possible combinations of flags and specified anchor points are shown in the image.

Example:

```
