TSVGCustomText Class

Contents

Comments (0)

Represents the common ancestor for all text elements (text, tref, tspan, text-path). Every svg text element potentially has multiple X, Y, DX, DY, and Rotate values to specify the location and orientation of each character in the text. If a text element does not specify its own X and Y values itself, it uses the FMX.RS.SVG.Text.TSVGCustomText.CurrentTextPosition.

Notes to Implementers
Using default options on desktop platforms, all text elements in the RSCL work by converting the text into paths. First, the text of the parent and all of its text content children are divided into chunks. Each absolute position adjustment defines a new text chunk. A text chunk can span text child elements if they do not define a new absolute position. After the text is divided into chunks, the CreateTextShapes method (implemented in the TSVGText class) creates paths from all the text chunks. Note that the TSVGTextPath class subverts this text chunking to provide an absolute position for every character so that the text aligns along its path. When TSVGDocument.Options includes the soUseFillText option, text is not converted into paths but rendered directly to the canvas using FillText calls. On iOS and Android and when using the FMX GPU Canvas on desktop (FMX.Types.GlobalUseGPUCanvas), text is always filled. The following differences exist between the two text rendering paths: • Fill Text does not use the Pen and so cannot both fill and stroke text • Fill Text cannot use gradients for filling (FMX) • Fill Text uses less memory • Fill Text generates better text at small sizes • Fill Text does not do center and right alignment for complex text (i.e., text that has dx, dy, rotate, vertical writing mode, etc style properties defined) • Fill Text has better compatibility with non-Western fonts • Path-based text can both fill and stroke text (however, on non-Windows platforms gradients are not used in stroking text) • Path-based text caches its shapes so subsequent draw calls are faster, even faster than fill text calls in many cases • Path-based text allows pixel level selection of text; Fill Text can only be selected as a text bounding box • Path-based text renders decorative fonts (underline, overline, and strike-out) using an extra path for the decoration (FMX will not generate paths with the decoration when converting text to paths). Surprisingly, this means that compatibility is higher with path-based text as the decoration gets its rendering configuration from the parent text element (e.g., strike-out text should use the parent text's font size and not vary as the size of child text span's font size changes). •ShapeRendering affects the smoothness of text when filling path-based text (as text are shapes); TextRendering affects the smoothness of text when filling text

A text chunk can span text child elements if they do not define a new absolute position.

Note that the TSVGTextPath class subverts this text chunking to provide an absolute position for every character so that the text aligns along its path.

When TSVGDocument.Options includes the soUseFillText option, text is not converted into paths but rendered directly to the canvas using FillText calls. On iOS and Android and when using the FMX GPU Canvas on desktop (FMX.Types.GlobalUseGPUCanvas), text is always filled.

The following differences exist between the two text rendering paths:

• Fill Text does not use the Pen and so cannot both fill and stroke text

• Fill Text cannot use gradients for filling (FMX)

• Fill Text uses less memory

• Fill Text generates better text at small sizes

• Fill Text does not do center and right alignment for complex text (i.e., text that has dx, dy, rotate, vertical writing mode, etc style properties defined)

• Fill Text has better compatibility with non-Western fonts

• Path-based text can both fill and stroke text (however, on non-Windows platforms gradients are not used in stroking text)

• Path-based text caches its shapes so subsequent draw calls are faster, even faster than fill text calls in many cases

• Path-based text allows pixel level selection of text; Fill Text can only be selected as a text bounding box

• Path-based text renders decorative fonts (underline, overline, and strike-out) using an extra path for the decoration (FMX will not generate paths with the decoration when converting text to paths). Surprisingly, this means that compatibility is higher with path-based text as the decoration gets its rendering configuration from the parent text element (e.g., strike-out text should use the parent text's font size and not vary as the size of child text span's font size changes).

Namespace: FMX.RS.SVG.Text

	Name	Description
	Create(TSVGDocument)	Initializes a new instance of the TSVGCustomText class. (Overrides FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.Create(TSVGDocument).)
	Destroy	Represents the destructor of the TSVGCustomText class. (Overrides FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.Destroy.)

Name

Description

AlignmentBaseline

Specifies how an object is aligned with respect to its parent. This property specifies which baseline of this element is to be aligned with the corresponding baseline of the parent. For example, this allows alphabetic baselines in Roman text to stay aligned across font size changes. It defaults to the baseline with the same name as the computed value of the alignment-baseline property. That is, the position of "ideographic" alignment-point in the block-progression-direction is the position of the "ideographic" baseline in the baseline-table of the object being aligned.

Note
Currently, only auto/baseline is supported

Attributes

Returns the valid style properties of the svg element (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

BaselineShift

Allows repositioning of the dominant-baseline relative to the dominant-baseline of the parent text content element. The shifted object might be a sub- or superscript. Within the shifted object, the whole baseline-table is offset; not just a single baseline. The amount of the shift is determined from information from the parent text content element, the sub- or superscript offset from the nominal font of the parent text content element, percent of the "line-height" of the parent text content element or an absolute value.

Note
‘baseline-shift’ properties can nest. Each nested ‘baseline-shift’ is added to previous baseline shift values.

BoundsRect

Specifies the bounding rectangle (X, Y, X+Width, Y+Height) for the SVG element unmodified by any transformations in the current coordinate system.

The X, Y, Width, and Height properties specify coordinates in virtual pixels of the nearest viewbox, or coordinate system. For example, a TSVGDocument may specify a ViewBox of 0, 0, 100, 100. Specifying an element's X and Y as 50, 50 will always position the element to start in the exact center of the view box. If the TSVGDocument is then drawn to a true pixel rectangle of 1000 pixel width and 500 pixel height, the element would draw at 500, 250 pixels.

To retrieve the "true" bounding rectangle which has been modified by any transformations, use the GetBoundsRect method

The BoundsRect and X/Y/Width/Height properties specify coordinates in virtual pixels of the nearest viewbox, or coordinate system. For example, a TSVGDocument may specify a ViewBox of 0, 0, 100, 100. Specifying an element's X and Y as 50, 50 will always position the element to start in the exact center of the view box. If the TSVGDocument is then drawn to a true pixel rectangle of 1000 pixel width and 500 pixel height, the element would draw at 500, 250 pixels.

Note
Note that this property is before any transformation (i.e., Matrix property) is applied

Brush

Brush used for drawing the fill portions of the SVG element (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

BrushChanged

Specifies whether the Brush has been changed and needs to be reinitializated by the GetBrush method. Set this property to true to force initialization of the Brush for the current SVG element. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

Classes

Specifies the 'classes' that the SVG element belongs to. The classes property assigns one or more class names to an element. The element may be said to belong to these classes. A class name may be shared by several element instances. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

ClippingChanged

Specifies whether the Clipping has been changed and needs to be reinitializated by the GetClipping method. Set this property to false to force initialization of the Clipping for the current SVG element. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

ClipRect

Returns the clipping rectangle for the element (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

ClipRule

Clipping rule for how this element adds to the clipping path (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

ClipURI

ID of the SVG element that provides the clipping region (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

ClipURIElement

Returns the SVG element that provides the clipping region for the current element.

The ClipURI property specifies the ID of the SVG element that provides the clipping region

Color

Color used for provide a potential indirect value (currentColor) for the ‘fill’, ‘stroke’, ‘stop-color’, ‘flood-color’ and ‘lighting-color’ properties (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

ColorInterpolation

Color interpolation type, which specifies the color space for gradient interpolations and alpha compositing

VCL Only

ColorRendering

Color rendering type, which provides a hint to the SVG library about how to optimize its color interpolation and compositing operations.

VCL Only

CurrentTextIndex

Returns the index into the Text property of the current text element and all of its childrens' text together.

CurrentTextPosition

Returns the current position to place the next character in the text

Cursor

Cursor to use when over this element type (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

Description

Specifies a non-visual Description for the SVG element. When generating FMX controls, the FMX control's Hint property is set to the Description. If the Description is empty, the Hint is set to the Title (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

Direction

Specifies the base writing direction of text.

The ‘direction’ property applies only to glyphs oriented perpendicular to the inline-progression-direction, which includes the usual case of horizontally-oriented Latin or Arabic text and the case of narrow-cell Latin or Arabic characters rotated 90 degrees clockwise relative to a top-to-bottom inline-progression-direction.

Within text content elements, the alignment of text with regards to the ‘text-anchor’ property is determined by the value of the ‘direction’ property. For example, given a ‘text’ element with a ‘text-anchor’ value of "end", for a ‘direction’ value of "ltr", the text will extend to the left of the position of the ‘text’ element's ‘x’ attribute value, while for ‘direction’ value of "rtl", the text will extend to the right of the position of the ‘text’ element's ‘x’ attribute value.

DominantBaseline

Determine or re-determine a scaled-baseline-table. A scaled-baseline-table is a compound value with three components: a baseline-identifier for the dominant-baseline, a baseline-table and a baseline-table font-size. Some values of the property re-determine all three values; other only re-establish the baseline-table font-size. When the initial value, auto, would give an undesired result, this property can be used to explicitly set the desire scaled-baseline-table.

Note
Not supported

Specifies the list of relative x-axis coordinates for each character in the text.

If a single <length> is provided, this value represents the new relative X coordinate for the current text position for rendering the glyphs corresponding to the first character within this element or any of its descendants. The current text position is shifted along the x-axis of the current user coordinate system by <length> before the first character's glyphs are rendered.

If a comma- or space-separated list of n <length>s is provided, then the values represent incremental shifts along the x-axis for the current text position before rendering the glyphs corresponding to the first n characters within this element or any of its descendants. Thus, before the glyphs are rendered corresponding to each character, the current text position resulting from drawing the glyphs for the previous character within the current ‘text’ element is shifted along the X axis of the current user coordinate system by <length>.

If more <length>s are provided than characters, then any extra <length>s will have no effect on glyph positioning.

If more characters exist than <length>s, then for each of these extra characters: (a) if an ancestor ‘text’ or ‘tspan’ element specifies a relative X coordinate for the given character via a ‘dx’ attribute, then the current text position is shifted along the x-axis of the current user coordinate system by that amount (nearest ancestor has precedence), else (b) no extra shift along the x-axis occurs.

If the attribute is not specified: (a) if an ancestor ‘text’ or ‘tspan’ element specifies a relative X coordinate for a given character via a ‘dx’ attribute, then the current text position is shifted along the x-axis of the current user coordinate system by that amount (nearest ancestor has precedence), else (b) no extra shift along the x-axis occurs.

DXStr

Provides a string representation of the FMX.RS.SVG.Text.TSVGCustomText.DX array property

Specifies the list of relative y-axis coordinates for each character in the text.

The processing rules for the DY property parallel the processing rules for the FMX.RS.SVG.Text.TSVGCustomText.DY property.

DYStr

Provides a string representation of the FMX.RS.SVG.Text.TSVGCustomText.DY array property

ElementState

Returns the state of the element. Use this property to correctly update the element when it is in a certain state. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

Enabled

Specifies whether the element is enabled or disabled. By default, disabled elements are not exported or detected by the FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.ElementAtPos(TSVGCanvas,TSVGPoint,TSVGRect,TSVGFindOptions) method.

Disabled elements are shown using a grayscale version of the element, which may be overridden with the OnDisableAppearance event.

FillRule

Indicates the algorithm which is to be used to determine what parts of the canvas are included inside the element shape. For a simple, non-intersecting path, it is intuitively clear what region lies "inside"; however, for a more complex path, such as a path that intersects itself or where one subpath encloses another, the interpretation of "inside" is not so obvious. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

Font

Font used for drawing the Text portions of the SVG element (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

FontChanged

Specifies whether the Font has been changed and needs to be reinitializated by the GetFont method. Set this property to false to force initialization of the Font for the current SVG element. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

GlyphOrientationHorizontal

In some cases, it is required to alter the orientation of a sequence of characters relative to the inline-progression-direction. The requirement is particularly applicable to vertical layouts of East Asian documents, where sometimes narrow-cell Latin text is to be displayed horizontally and other times vertically.

Two properties control the glyph orientation relative to the reference orientation for each of the two possible inline-progression-directions. ‘glyph-orientation-vertical’ controls glyph orientation when the inline-progression-direction is vertical. ‘glyph-orientation-horizontal’ controls glyph orientation when the inline-progression-direction is horizontal.

This property is applied only to text written in a horizontal FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.WritingMode .

GlyphOrientationVertical

This property is applied only to text written in a vertical FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.WritingMode

Height

Height of the element in the current user coordinate system

Note
Note that this property is before any transformation (i.e., FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.Matrix property) is applied

HeightU

Height of the element in the current user coordinate system.

The property is a length with raw measurement value and its units (e.g., 1 inch, 2.5 centimeters, etc). When the element needs to get the x-axis coordinate in pixels, this property converts the raw measurement value using the FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.GetUnitFactors (e.g., 1 inch = 96 pixels) .

The Xu, Yu, WidthU, and HeightU properties specify coordinates in virtual pixels of the nearest viewbox, or coordinate system. For example, a TSVGDocument may specify a ViewBox of 0, 0, 100, 100. Specifying an element's X and Y as 50, 50 will always position the element to start in the exact center of the view box. If the TSVGDocument is then drawn to a true pixel rectangle of 1000 pixel width and 500 pixel height, the element would draw at 500, 250 pixels.

Note
Note that this property is before any transformation (i.e., FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.Matrix property) is applied

Unique name for the SVG element. The SVG document's AllItems property uses the ID as the unique hash for returning SVG elements (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

Inherits

Style properties or attributes which inherits their values from the Parent. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

InlineProgressionDirection

Returns the inline progression direction, i.e., what direction should the characters go as they are being drawn: left to right, right to left, or top to bottom?

Items

The child SVG Items of the current element. The Parent and Items properties define the hierarchy of a SVG document fragment. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

Kerning

Specifies whether inter-glyph spacing should be adjusted based on behavior kerning tables that are included in the relevant font (i.e., enable auto-kerning) or instead disable auto-kerning and instead set inter-character spacing to a specific length (typically, zero).

Note

Three properties affect the space between characters and words:

• ‘kerning’ indicates whether the user agent should adjust inter-glyph spacing based on kerning tables that are included in the relevant font (i.e., enable auto-kerning) or instead disable auto-kerning and instead set inter-character spacing to a specific length (typically, zero).

• ‘letter-spacing’ indicates an amount of space that is to be added between text characters supplemental to any spacing due to the ‘kerning’ property.

• ‘word-spacing’ indicates the spacing behavior between words.

Language

Specifies the Language of the SVG element (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

LetterSpacing

Specifies spacing between text characters supplemental to any spacing due to the FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.Kerning property

Note

Three properties affect the space between characters and words:

• ‘letter-spacing’ indicates an amount of space that is to be added between text characters supplemental to any spacing due to the ‘kerning’ property.

• ‘word-spacing’ indicates the spacing behavior between words.

LineText

Returns a string of the FMX.RS.SVG.Text.TSVGCustomText.Text of the current text element and all child text content elements

Listeners

Maintains the list of elements that need to be notified when this element changes or is being destroyed

When the current element changes, it will call the FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.NotifyListener(TSVGElement) method of every element on this list

MarkerEndURI

ID of the SVG element that defines arrowhead or polymarker that shall be drawn at the final vertex of the given path element or basic shape (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

MarkerMidURI

ID of the SVG element that defines arrowhead or polymarker that shall be drawn at the every other vertex (i.e., every vertex except the first and last) of the given path element or basic shape (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

MarkerStartURI

ID of the SVG element that defines arrowhead or polymarker that shall be drawn at the first vertex of the given path element or basic shape (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

Matrix

Local Transformation matrix for the element

Note that the final transformation of the element depends on its Parents' transformation matrices

Opacity

Uniform opacity setting to be applied across an entire object, as a . Any values outside the range 0.0 (fully transparent) to 1.0 (fully opaque) will be clamped to this range. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

OpacityPreferredUnit

Provides the unit type (e.g., mm, px, etc) to use when displaying the Opacity (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

Options

Defines options for reading, displaying, and writing the svg.

The most important option as far as compatibility is the soUseFillText option. When this option is present, the RSCL uses FillText calls to directly render the text to the canvas. When this option is not present (default), the RSCL converts text into paths that are then filled and stroked. Converting text to paths provides the highest compatibility but slower performance. If you use the FMX GPU Canvas (FMX.Types.GlobalUseGPUCanvas), text is always filled and not converted to paths.

The following differences exist between the two text rendering paths:

• Fill Text does not use the Pen and so cannot both fill and stroke text

• Fill Text cannot use gradients for filling (FMX)

•ShapeRendering affects the smoothness of text when filling path-based text (as text are shapes); TextRendering affects the smoothness of text when filling text

• Fill Text uses less memory

• Fill Text generates better text at small sizes

• Path-based text caches its shapes so subsequent draw calls are faster, even faster than fill text calls in many cases

• Path-based text allows pixel level selection of text; Fill Text can only be selected as a text bounding box

(Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

Overflow

Specifies whether the content of a block-level element is clipped when it overflows the element's box (which is acting as a containing block for the content) (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

Owner

Returns the Owner SVG document for the SVG element. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

Parent

The Parent SVG Element of the current element. The Parent and Items properties define the hierarchy of a SVG document fragment. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

ParentPreferredStyles

Specifies whether to use the current element's Preferred Styles property or use its graphic parent (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

Pen

Pen used for drawing the stroke portions of the SVG element (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

PenChanged

Specifies whether the Pen has been changed and needs to be reinitializated by the GetPen method. Set this property to false to force initialization of the Pen for the current SVG element. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

PreferredStyles

Defines which style properties should be exported as a style (e.g., style=" fill:red; fill-opacity:1;" or as an attribute (e.g., fill="red").

Include style properties in this property to have the style property output as part of the style="" attribute.

RequiredExtensions

Specifies a list of required language extensions. Language extensions are capabilities within a user agent that go beyond the feature set defined in this specification. Each extension is identified by an IRI reference.

The RSCL supports no extensions.

RequiredFeatures

Defines a list of feature strings. Determines whether all of the named features are supported by the RSCL. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

Rotate

Specifies the list of supplemental rotations to perform for each character in the text.

If a comma- or space-separated list of <number>s is provided, then the first <number> represents the supplemental rotation for the glyphs corresponding to the first character within this element or any of its descendants, the second <number> represents the supplemental rotation for the glyphs that correspond to the second character, and so on.

If more <number>s are provided than there are characters, then the extra <number>s will be ignored.
If more characters are provided than <number>s, then for each of these extra characters the rotation value specified by the last number must be used.

If the attribute is not specified and if an ancestor ‘text’ or ‘tspan’ element specifies a supplemental rotation for a given character via a ‘rotate’ attribute, then the given supplemental rotation is applied to the given character (nearest ancestor has precedence). If there are more characters than <number>s specified in the ancestor's ‘rotate’ attribute, then for each of these extra characters the rotation value specified by the last number must be used.

This supplemental rotation has no impact on the rules by which current text position is modified as glyphs get rendered and is supplemental to any rotation due to text on a path and to ‘glyph-orientation-horizontal’ or ‘glyph-orientation-vertical’.

RotateStr

Provides a string representation of the FMX.RS.SVG.Text.TSVGCustomText.Rotate array property

Shape

Returns a path defining the shape of the current svg element. This option can speed up redraws by using this cached shape instead of redrawing the svg element from scratch.

Note
Not all elements define a path shape

ShapeCacheChanged

Specifies whether the Shape has been changed and needs to be reinitializated by the GetShape method. Set this property to false to force initialization of the ShapeCache for the current SVG element. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

ShapeRendering

Shape rendering type, which provides a hint to the SVG library about what tradeoffs to make as it renders vector graphics elements such as path elements and basic shapes such as circles and rectangles.

VCL Only

Style

Style for the element, the properties or attributes explicitly set by the element and not inherited or set by another style (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

SystemLanguages

Specifies a list of language names as defined in BCP 47 (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

Tag

Represents property Tag. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

Text

Text or caption of the text element

TextAlign

Defines the Text alignment, which is used to align (start-, middle- or end-alignment) a string of text relative to a given point (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

TextHeight

Specifies the height of the text based on the current Font .

Note
The TextWidth and TextHeight properties are used for quick calculation of the BoundsRect property. There are set the first time the text element is drawn. If the TextWidth = -1, the TextWidth and TextHeight need to be recalculated because the text element has changed.

TextRendering

Text rendering type, which provides a hint to the SVG library about what tradeoffs to make as it renders text

VCL Only

TextWidth

Specifies the width of the text based on the current Font .

Note
The TextWidth and TextHeight properties are used for quick calculation of the BoundsRect property. There are set the first time the text element is drawn. If the TextWidth = -1, the TextWidth and TextHeight need to be recalculated because the text element has changed.

Title

Specifies a non-visual Title of the SVG element. When generating FMX controls, the FMX control's Hint property is set to Title if the Description property is empty (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

TransformMatrix

Specifies the local transformation FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.Matrix as a string (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

UpdateCount

Maintains the number of times BeginUpdate has been called without a corresponding EndUpdate. When the UpdateCount is greater than 0, no change events occur. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

VectorEffect

Modifies the way an object is stroked. Sometimes it is of interest to let the outline of an object keep its original width no matter which transforms are applied to it. For example, in a map with a 2px wide line representing roads it is of interest to keep the roads 2px wide even when the user zooms into the map. To achieve this, SVG Tiny 1.2 introduces the 'vector-effect' property. Future versions of the SVG language may allow for more powerful vector effects through this property. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

Visible

Visibility of the element, whether it should be painted or not (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

Width

Width of the element in the current user coordinate system

Note
Note that this property is before any transformation (i.e., FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.Matrix property) is applied

WidthU

Width of the element in the current user coordinate system.

Note
Note that this property is before any transformation (i.e., FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.Matrix property) is applied

WordSpacing

Specifies spacing behavior between words

Note

Three properties affect the space between characters and words:

• ‘letter-spacing’ indicates an amount of space that is to be added between text characters supplemental to any spacing due to the ‘kerning’ property.

• ‘word-spacing’ indicates the spacing behavior between words.

WritingMode

Specifies whether the initial inline-progression-direction for a ‘text’ element shall be left-to-right, right-to-left, or top-to-bottom. The ‘writing-mode’ property applies only to ‘text’ elements; the property is ignored for ‘tspan’, ‘tref’, ‘altGlyph’ and ‘textPath’ sub-elements. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

Specifies the list of absolute x-axis coordinates for each character in the text.

If a single <coordinate> is provided, then the value represents the new absolute X coordinate for the current text position for rendering the glyphs that correspond to the first character within this element or any of its descendants.

If a comma- or space-separated list of n <coordinate>s is provided, then the values represent new absolute X coordinates for the current text position for rendering the glyphs corresponding to each of the first n characters within this element or any of its descendants.

If more <coordinate>s are provided than characters, then the extra <coordinate>s will have no effect on glyph positioning.

If more characters exist than <coordinate>s, then for each of these extra characters: (a) if an ancestor ‘text’ or ‘tspan’ element specifies an absolute X coordinate for the given character via an ‘x’ attribute, then that absolute X coordinate is used as the starting X coordinate for that character (nearest ancestor has precedence), else (b) the starting X coordinate for rendering the glyphs corresponding to the given character is the X coordinate of the resulting current text position from the most recently rendered glyph for the current ‘text’ element.

If the attribute is not specified: (a) if an ancestor ‘text’ or ‘tspan’ element specifies an absolute X coordinate for a given character via an ‘x’ attribute, then that absolute X coordinate is used (nearest ancestor has precedence), else (b) the starting X coordinate for rendering the glyphs corresponding to a given character is the X coordinate of the resulting current text position from the most recently rendered glyph for the current ‘text’ element.

XStr

Provides a string representation of the FMX.RS.SVG.Text.TSVGCustomText.X array property

x-axis coordinate of the element which has the smaller x-axis coordinate value in the current user coordinate system.

Note
Note that this property is before any transformation (i.e., FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.Matrix property) is applied

Specifies the list of absolute y-axis coordinates for each character in the text.

The processing rules for the Y property parallel the processing rules for the FMX.RS.SVG.Text.TSVGCustomText.X property.

YStr

Provides a string representation of the FMX.RS.SVG.Text.TSVGCustomText.Y array property

y-axis coordinate of the element which has the smaller y-axis coordinate value in the current user coordinate system.

Note
Note that this property is before any transformation (i.e., FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.Matrix property) is applied

FMX does not support clipping regions so this method does nothing (nor is clipping performed). However, there is an experimental clipping that can be performed using the Clipper library. Put the clipper.pas in your path and uncomment the {$DEFINE FMX_CLIPPING} statement in RSSVG.pas

PropagateObjectPropChange(TObject)

Called when a property that is an object (Brush, Pen, Font, Description, etc) changes. This method propagates the change to all children so that they know they need to recalculate stuff. Calls the FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.Change(TSVGElement) method (Overrides FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.PropagateObjectPropChange(TObject).)

ReadChild(IXMLNode)

Reads the specified node and sets properties on the current TSVGGraphicElement. This method is meant to read child nodes that do not represent TSVGGraphicElements in the svg hierarchy. For example, it can read a child node that represents the Description property of the current svg element. (Overrides FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.ReadChild(IXMLNode).)

ReadChildren(IXMLNode)

Reads the child XML nodes of the specified node and loads them into the svg element as children (Items property) (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

ReadItems(TReader)

Represents method ReadItems(TReader). (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

RemoveChangeNotification(TSVGElement)

Disables the change notification that was enabled by FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.ChangeNotification(TSVGElement) .

RemoveChangeNotification removes the element specified by the aListener parameter from the internal list of elements to be notified that an element has changed. aListener is added to this list by a previous call to the ChangeNotification method.

Most applications have no need to call RemoveChangeNotification. It is used by TSVGElement to inform other elements when they have been changed or are going to be destroyed. For example, the TSVGUse element uses this mechanism to know when to redraw because its Reference element has changed
(Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

Reset

Resets the SVG for drawing. This means setting up the svg element to rebuild its Brush, Pen, Font, Shape, etc (Overrides FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.Reset.)

ResourceGetInherited(TObject,TSVGStyleProperty,Boolean)

Represents method ResourceGetInherited(TObject,TSVGStyleProperty,Boolean). (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

SaveColorStyleProperty(IXMLNode,TSVGStyleProperty,TSVGBrushKind,TSVGColor,String)

Saves a Color property to the XML node as an attribute. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

SaveToXML(IXMLNode)

Saves the SVG element's attributes and children to the XML node

Note
The IXMLNode must already exist and be set to the correct NodeType

ScreenToLocal(TSVGPoint,TSVGRect)

Represents method ScreenToLocal(TSVGPoint,TSVGRect). (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

SetBoundsRect(TSVGRect)

Sets the Bounding rectangle of the current element to the value. The value is assumed to be in pixels (Overrides FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.SetBoundsRect(TSVGRect).)

SetCanvasPen(TSVGCanvas,TSVGMatrix,Boolean)

Initializes the Canvas with a Pen that contains the correct defined and inherited properties and optionally scaled Thickness according to the Matrix. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

SetHeight(Single)

Sets the height, in pixels, of the element (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

SetHeightU(TSVGLength)

Sets the Height of the element as a length (with Raw value and Unit) (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

SetParent(TSVGElement)

Changes the parent SVG Element of the current element. The FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.Parent and Items properties define the hierarchy of a SVG document fragment. (Overrides FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.SetParent(TSVGElement).)

SetText(String)

Sets the Text property

SetWidth(Single)

Sets the Width, in pixels, of the element (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

SetWidthU(TSVGLength)

Sets the Width of the element as a length (with Raw value and Unit) (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

SetX(Single)

Overloaded. Sets the X coordinate, in pixels, of the element (Overrides FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.SetX(Single).)

SetX(TSVGLengths)

Overloaded. Sets the FMX.RS.SVG.Text.TSVGCustomText.X Array property to a copy of the value arrray.

Note
This is a deep copy. Every item in the value array is cloned.

SetXu(TSVGLength)

Sets the X coordinate of the element as a length (with Raw value and Unit) (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

SetY(Single)

Overloaded. Sets the Y coordinate, in pixels, of the element (Overrides FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.SetY(Single).)

SetY(TSVGLengths)

Overloaded. Sets the FMX.RS.SVG.Text.TSVGCustomText.Y Array property to a copy of the value arrray.

Note
This is a deep copy. Every item in the value array is cloned.

SetYu(TSVGLength)

Sets the Y coordinate of the element as a length (with Raw value and Unit) (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

ShouldDraw

Returns true if the svg element should be drawn directly when the Draw method is called. Most TSVGGraphicElement descendants return true if they are visible and FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.HasFeatures and FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.HasExtensions and FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.HasLanguages. However, elements inside a defs (TSVGDefs class), gradients, symbols, markers are not drawn directly but only when called from a referring element. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

ShouldDrawTextAllAtOnce

Returns true if the text drawing can be optimized and all text can be drawn at once.

Text can be drawn as one unit if there are not multiple X, Y coordinates, or DX, DY changes, and no individual character rotations. Also, the text needs to be left-to-right or right-to-left and the characters need to be facing perpendicular to the text direction (up with Western alphabets).

SVGType

Returns the SVG element type of the class (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

SVGTypeName

Returns the SVG element type name (e.g., 'g', 'rect', etc) (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

ToString

Returns an XML/SVG representation of the element, including its children (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)

UnitFactorsHandler(TObject,TSVGUnitFactors)

Event handler for returning the UnitFactors of the owner or the SVGUnitFactors constant if Owner is nil.

This event handler is used by TSVGLength class and its descendants to convert raw unit measurements (i.e., inch, centimeter, etc) to pixels

WriteChildren(IXMLNode)

Writes the children (Items property) of the current TSVGGraphicElement as child nodes of the specified node (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGGraphicElement.)

WriteItems(TWriter)

Represents method WriteItems(TWriter). (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVG.TSVGElement.)
