• kerning: a value to multiply the text spacing by.

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
        Leadwerks::Window* window = Leadwerks::Window::Create();
        Context* context = Context::Create(window);
        
        while (true)
        {
                if (window->Closed() || window->KeyHit(Key::Escape)) break;

                context->SetColor(0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
                context->Clear();

                //Draw some text centered on the screen
                std::string text = "Hello!";

                Font* font = context->GetFont();

                int x = context->GetWidth() / 2;
                int y = context->GetHeight() / 2;

                x -= font->GetTextWidth(text) / 2;
                y -= font->GetHeight() / 2;

                context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Alpha);
                context->SetColor(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
                context->DrawText(text, x, y);
                context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Solid);

                context->Sync();
