Detailed Description

Graphical text that can be drawn to a render target.

sf::Text is a drawable class that allows to easily display some text with custom style and color on a render target.

It inherits all the functions from sf::Transformable: position, rotation, scale, origin. It also adds text-specific properties such as the font to use, the character size, the font style (bold, italic, underlined, strike through), the global color and the text to display of course. It also provides convenience functions to calculate the graphical size of the text, or to get the global position of a given character.

sf::Text works in combination with the sf::Font class, which loads and provides the glyphs (visual characters) of a given font.

The separation of sf::Font and sf::Text allows more flexibility and better performances: indeed a sf::Font is a heavy resource, and any operation on it is slow (often too slow for real-time applications). On the other side, a sf::Text is a lightweight object which can combine the glyphs data and metrics of a sf::Font to display any text on a render target.

It is important to note that the sf::Text instance doesn't copy the font that it uses, it only keeps a reference to it. Thus, a sf::Font must not be destructed while it is used by a sf::Text (i.e. never write a function that uses a local sf::Font instance for creating a text).

See also the note on coordinates and undistorted rendering in sf::Transformable.

Usage example:

// Declare and load a font
sf::Font font;
font.loadFromFile("arial.ttf");
// Create a text
sf::Text text("hello", font);
// Draw it
window.draw(text);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

sf::Text::Text ( )

Default constructor.

Creates an empty text.

sf::Text::Text ( const String string,
const Font font,
unsigned int  characterSize = 30 
)

Construct the text from a string, font and size.

Note that if the used font is a bitmap font, it is not scalable, thus not all requested sizes will be available to use. This needs to be taken into consideration when setting the character size. If you need to display text of a certain size, make sure the corresponding bitmap font that supports that size is used.

Parameters
stringText assigned to the string
fontFont used to draw the string
characterSizeBase size of characters, in pixels

Member Function Documentation

Vector2f sf::Text::findCharacterPos ( std::size_t  index) const

Return the position of the index-th character.

This function computes the visual position of a character from its index in the string. The returned position is in global coordinates (translation, rotation, scale and origin are applied). If index is out of range, the position of the end of the string is returned.

Parameters
indexIndex of the character
Returns
Position of the character
unsigned int sf::Text::getCharacterSize ( ) const

Get the character size.

Returns
Size of the characters, in pixels
See also
setCharacterSize
SFML_DEPRECATED const Color& sf::Text::getColor ( ) const

Get the fill color of the text.

Returns
Fill color of the text
See also
setFillColor
Deprecated:
There is now fill and outline colors instead of a single global color. Use getFillColor() or getOutlineColor() instead.
const Color& sf::Text::getFillColor ( ) const

Get the fill color of the text.

Returns
Fill color of the text
See also
setFillColor
const Font* sf::Text::getFont ( ) const

Get the text's font.

If the text has no font attached, a NULL pointer is returned. The returned pointer is const, which means that you cannot modify the font when you get it from this function.

Returns
Pointer to the text's font
See also
setFont
FloatRect sf::Text::getGlobalBounds ( ) const

Get the global bounding rectangle of the entity.

The returned rectangle is in global coordinates, which means that it takes into account the transformations (translation, rotation, scale, ...) that are applied to the entity. In other words, this function returns the bounds of the text in the global 2D world's coordinate system.

Returns
Global bounding rectangle of the entity
const Transform& sf::Transformable::getInverseTransform ( ) const
inherited

get the inverse of the combined transform of the object

Returns
Inverse of the combined transformations applied to the object
See also
getTransform
FloatRect sf::Text::getLocalBounds ( ) const

Get the local bounding rectangle of the entity.

The returned rectangle is in local coordinates, which means that it ignores the transformations (translation, rotation, scale, ...) that are applied to the entity. In other words, this function returns the bounds of the entity in the entity's coordinate system.

Returns
Local bounding rectangle of the entity
const Vector2f& sf::Transformable::getOrigin ( ) const
inherited

get the local origin of the object

Returns
Current origin

sf::String s1 = text.getString();
std::string s2 = text.getString();
std::wstring s3 = text.getString();
Returns
Text's string
See also
setString

See also
getInverseTransform
void sf::Transformable::move ( float  offsetX,
float  offsetY 
)
inherited

Move the object by a given offset.

This function adds to the current position of the object, unlike setPosition which overwrites it. Thus, it is equivalent to the following code:

sf::Vector2f pos = object.getPosition();
object.setPosition(pos.x + offsetX, pos.y + offsetY);
Parameters
offsetXX offset
offsetYY offset
See also
setPosition
void sf::Transformable::move ( const Vector2f offset)
inherited

Move the object by a given offset.

This function adds to the current position of the object, unlike setPosition which overwrites it. Thus, it is equivalent to the following code:

object.setPosition(object.getPosition() + offset);
Parameters
offsetOffset
See also
setPosition
void sf::Transformable::rotate ( float  angle)
inherited

Rotate the object.

This function adds to the current rotation of the object, unlike setRotation which overwrites it. Thus, it is equivalent to the following code:

object.setRotation(object.getRotation() + angle);
Parameters
angleAngle of rotation, in degrees
void sf::Transformable::scale ( float  factorX,
float  factorY 
)
inherited

Scale the object.

This function multiplies the current scale of the object, unlike setScale which overwrites it. Thus, it is equivalent to the following code:

sf::Vector2f scale = object.getScale();
object.setScale(scale.x * factorX, scale.y * factorY);
Parameters
factorXHorizontal scale factor
factorYVertical scale factor
See also
setScale
void sf::Transformable::scale ( const Vector2f factor)
inherited

Scale the object.

This function multiplies the current scale of the object, unlike setScale which overwrites it. Thus, it is equivalent to the following code:

sf::Vector2f scale = object.getScale();
object.setScale(scale.x * factor.x, scale.y * factor.y);
Parameters
factorScale factors
See also
setScale
void sf::Text::setCharacterSize ( unsigned int  size)

Set the character size.

The default size is 30.

Note that if the used font is a bitmap font, it is not scalable, thus not all requested sizes will be available to use. This needs to be taken into consideration when setting the character size. If you need to display text of a certain size, make sure the corresponding bitmap font that supports that size is used.

Parameters
sizeNew character size, in pixels
See also
getCharacterSize
SFML_DEPRECATED void sf::Text::setColor ( const Color color)

Set the fill color of the text.

By default, the text's fill color is opaque white. Setting the fill color to a transparent color with an outline will cause the outline to be displayed in the fill area of the text.

Parameters
colorNew fill color of the text
See also
getFillColor
Deprecated:
There is now fill and outline colors instead of a single global color. Use setFillColor() or setOutlineColor() instead.
void sf::Text::setFillColor ( const Color color)

Set the fill color of the text.

By default, the text's fill color is opaque white. Setting the fill color to a transparent color with an outline will cause the outline to be displayed in the fill area of the text.

Parameters
colorNew fill color of the text
See also
getFillColor
void sf::Text::setFont ( const Font font)

Set the text's font.

The font argument refers to a font that must exist as long as the text uses it. Indeed, the text doesn't store its own copy of the font, but rather keeps a pointer to the one that you passed to this function. If the font is destroyed and the text tries to use it, the behavior is undefined.

Parameters
fontNew font
See also
getFont
void sf::Transformable::setOrigin ( float  x,
float  y 
)
inherited

set the local origin of the object

The origin of an object defines the center point for all transformations (position, scale, rotation). The coordinates of this point must be relative to the top-left corner of the object, and ignore all transformations (position, scale, rotation). The default origin of a transformable object is (0, 0).

Parameters
xX coordinate of the new origin
yY coordinate of the new origin
See also
getOrigin
void sf::Transformable::setOrigin ( const Vector2f origin)
inherited

set the local origin of the object

The origin of an object defines the center point for all transformations (position, scale, rotation). The coordinates of this point must be relative to the top-left corner of the object, and ignore all transformations (position, scale, rotation). The default origin of a transformable object is (0, 0).

Parameters
originNew origin
See also
getOrigin
void sf::Text::setOutlineColor ( const Color color)

Set the outline color of the text.

By default, the text's outline color is opaque black.

Parameters
colorNew outline color of the text
See also
getOutlineColor
void sf::Text::setOutlineThickness ( float  thickness)

Set the thickness of the text's outline.

By default, the outline thickness is 0.

Be aware that using a negative value for the outline thickness will cause distorted rendering.

Parameters
thicknessNew outline thickness, in pixels
See also
getOutlineThickness
void sf::Transformable::setPosition ( float  x,
float  y

void sf::Text::setString ( const String string)

Set the text's string.

The string argument is a sf::String, which can automatically be constructed from standard string types. So, the following calls are all valid:

text.setString("hello");
text.setString(L"hello");
text.setString(std::string("hello"));
text.setString(std::wstring(L"hello"));

A text's string is empty by default.
