drawText

Common

fun DrawScope.drawText(
    textMeasurer: TextMeasurer,
    text: AnnotatedString,
    topLeft: Offset = Offset.Zero,
    style: TextStyle = TextStyle.Default,
    overflow: TextOverflow = TextOverflow.Clip,
    softWrap: Boolean = true,
    maxLines: Int = Int.MAX_VALUE,
    placeholders: List<AnnotatedString.Range<Placeholder>> = listOf(),
    size: Size = Size.Unspecified,
    blendMode: BlendMode = DrawScope.DefaultBlendMode,
)

Draw styled text using a TextMeasurer.

This draw function supports multi-styling and async font loading.

TextMeasurer carries an internal cache to optimize text layout measurement for repeated calls in draw phase. If layout affecting attributes like font size, font weight, overflow, softWrap, etc. are changed in consecutive calls to this method, TextMeasurer and its internal cache that holds layout results may not offer any benefits. Check out TextMeasurer and drawText overloads that take TextLayoutResult to learn more about text layout and draw phase optimizations.

Parameters


textMeasurer	Measures and lays out the text
text	Text to be drawn
topLeft	Offsets the text from top left point of the current coordinate system.
style	the `TextStyle` to be applied to the text
overflow	How visual overflow should be handled.
softWrap	Whether the text should break at soft line breaks. If false, the glyphs in the text will be positioned as if there was unlimited horizontal space. If `softWrap` is false, `overflow` and TextAlign may have unexpected effects.
maxLines	An optional maximum number of lines for the text to span, wrapping if necessary. If the text exceeds the given number of lines, it will be truncated according to `overflow` and `softWrap`. If it is not null, then it must be greater than zero.
placeholders	a list of `Placeholder`s that specify ranges of text which will be skipped during layout and replaced with `Placeholder`. It's required that the range of each `Placeholder` doesn't cross paragraph boundary, otherwise `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown.
size	how wide and tall the text should be. If left `Size.Unspecified` as its default value, text will be forced to fit inside the total drawing area from where it's placed. If size is specified, `Size.width` will define the width of the text. `Size.height` helps defining the number of lines that fit if `softWrap` is enabled and `overflow` is `TextOverflow.Ellipsis`. Otherwise, `Size.height` either defines where the text is clipped (`TextOverflow.Clip`) or becomes no-op.
blendMode	Blending algorithm to be applied to the text

fun DrawScope.drawText(
    textMeasurer: TextMeasurer,
    text: String,
    topLeft: Offset = Offset.Zero,

Draw text using a TextMeasurer.

This draw function supports only one text style, and async font loading.

Parameters


textMeasurer	Measures and lays out the text
text	Text to be drawn
topLeft	Offsets the text from top left point of the current coordinate system.
style	the `TextStyle` to be applied to the text
overflow	How visual overflow should be handled.
softWrap	Whether the text should break at soft line breaks. If false, the glyphs in the text will be positioned as if there was unlimited horizontal space. If `softWrap` is false, `overflow` and TextAlign may have unexpected effects.

If size is specified, `Size.width` will define the width of the text. `Size.height` helps defining the number of lines that fit if `softWrap` is enabled and `overflow` is `TextOverflow.Ellipsis`.

drawText

Common

fun DrawScope.drawText(
    textLayoutResult: TextLayoutResult,
    color: Color = Color.Unspecified,
    topLeft: Offset = Offset.Zero,
    alpha: Float = Float.NaN,
    shadow: Shadow? = null,
    textDecoration: TextDecoration? = null,
    drawStyle: DrawStyle? = null,
    blendMode: BlendMode = DrawScope.DefaultBlendMode,
)

Draw an existing text layout as produced by TextMeasurer.

This draw function cannot relayout when async font loading resolves. If using async fonts or other dynamic text layout, you are responsible for invalidating layout on changes.

Parameters


textLayoutResult	Text Layout to be drawn
color	Text color to use
topLeft	Offsets the text from top left point of the current coordinate system.
alpha	opacity to be applied to the `color` from 0.0f to 1.0f representing fully transparent to fully opaque respectively
shadow	The shadow effect applied on the text.
textDecoration	The decorations to paint on the text (e.g., an underline).
drawStyle	Whether or not the text is stroked or filled in.
blendMode	Blending algorithm to be applied to the text
