Namespace: RSGdiPlusGraphics

Parameters

aTabStop

Type: Single

Return Value

Type: TRSGPStringFormat

The following example creates a String Format object, sets tab stops, and uses the String Format object to draw a string that contains tab characters (\t). The code also draws the string's layout rectangle. Then, the code gets the tab stops and proceeds to use or inspect the tab stops in some way.

Delphi

var
   i: Integer;
   sf: TRSGPStringFormat;
begin
   sf := TRSGPStringFormat.Create(aCanvas);
   try
     sf.AddTabStop(150).AddTabStop(100).AddTabStop(100);
     aCanvas.FillText(RectF(20, 20, 500, 100), 'Hello World', sf, 1);
     // draw the rectangle that encloses the text
     aCanvas.Pen.Color := TRSGPColorRec.Red;
     aCanvas.DrawRect(RectF(20, 20, 500, 100), 0, 0, AllCorners, 1);
     // get the tab stops
     for i := 0 to sf.TabStopCount - 1 do
       // do something with sf.TabStop[i]
   finally
     sf.Free;
   end;
end;
