Title: Word-wrapped text display moduleAuthor: David Clark (da_clark at shaw.ca) Description: This module contains one function: render_textrect, which will try to return a surface containing the supplied string, word-wrapped as necessary to fit within the supplied rectstyle object. The function can also left or right justify, or center the supplied text. It will raise a TextRectException if the string won't fit into the rect's area. Download: textrect.tar.gz pygame version required: Any with pygame.font Comments: This might be good code for a gui's text label widget. On the first pass through, I had code to italicize and bold the supplied text, but I decided I didn't really like the way SDL_ttf did these effects. If you want these text effects, the best way to do it would probably be to find a font that already has a bold or italicized effect. Good ways to improve this function might be to add user-defined padding around the text, allow for vertical centering, and permit a transparent background. |
