Documentation

Fonterator

Fonterator is a pure Rust font loader. When you want to render text, fonterator gives you an iterator over footile PathOps, which you can easily pass right into footile.

Simple Example

In Cargo.toml,

[dependencies]
fonterator = "0.4.0"

In main.rs,

use fonterator::FontGroup;
use footile::{FillRule, Plotter, Raster, Rgba8};

fn main() {
    // Load the default FontGroup (font and fallbacks).
    let font = FontGroup::default();

    // Init rendering
    let mut p = Plotter::new(2048, 2048);
    let mut r = Raster::new(p.width(), p.height());

    // Render the text
    let mut path = font.render(
        "Héllö,\nWørłd!‽i", /*text*/
        (0.0, 0.0),         /*position*/
        (256.0, 256.0),     /*size*/
    );
    r.over(
        p.fill(&mut path, FillRule::NonZero),
        Rgba8::rgb(0, 0, 0), /*color*/
    );
    r.write_png("main.png").unwrap(); /*save as PNG*/
}

  • Horizontal and vertical text layout.
  • Left-to-right and right-to-left text layout.
  • Use fallback fonts if a character is not available from one font.
