TTF_RenderText_Solid(3) | SDL_ttf3 FUNCTIONS | TTF_RenderText_Solid(3) |
NAME¶
TTF_RenderText_Solid - Render Latin1 text at fast quality to a new 8-bit surface.
SYNOPSIS¶
#include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"
SDL_Surface * TTF_RenderText_Solid(TTF_Font *font, const char *text, SDL_Color fg);
DESCRIPTION¶
This function will allocate a new 8-bit, palettized surface. The surface's 0 pixel will be the colorkey, giving a transparent background. The 1 pixel will be set to the text color.
This will not word-wrap the string; you'll get a surface with a single line of text, as long as the string requires. You can use
TTF_RenderText_Solid_Wrapped () instead if you need to wrap the output to multiple lines.
This will not wrap on newline characters.
You almost certainly want TTF_RenderUTF8_Solid () unless you're sure you have a 1-byte Latin1 encoding. US ASCII characters will work with either function, but most other Unicode characters packed into a constchar* will need UTF-8.
You can render at other quality levels with
TTF_RenderText_Shaded ,
TTF_RenderText_Blended , and
TTF_RenderText_LCD .
FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶
RETURN VALUE¶
Returns a new 8-bit, palettized surface, or NULL if there was an error.
AVAILABILITY¶
This function is available since SDL_ttf 3.0.0.
