TRSGPCanvas.StringFormat Property

Contents

Comments (0)

Specifies the text layout information (such as alignment, orientation, tab stops, and clipping) and display manipulations (such as trimming, font substitution for characters that are not supported by the requested font, and digit substitution for languages that do not use Western European digits). The string format is used in FillText calls.

Namespace: RSGdiPlusGraphics

Property Value

Type: TRSGPStringFormat

The following example uses the StringFormat property to set tab stops, and 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;
begin
   Canvas.StringFormat.AddTabStop(150).AddTabStop(100).AddTabStop(100);
   Canvas.FillText(RectF(20, 20, 500, 100), 'Hello World', 1);
   // draw the rectangle that encloses the text
   Canvas.Pen.Color := TRSGPColorRec.Red;
   Canvas.DrawRect(RectF(20, 20, 500, 100), 0, 0, AllCorners, 1);
   // get the tab stops
   for i := 0 to Canvas.StringFormat.TabStopCount - 1 do
     // do something with Canvas.StringFormat.TabStop[i]
end;
