# gfx_text [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/PistonDevelopers/gfx_text.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/PistonDevelopers/gfx_text) [![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/gfx_text.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/gfx_text)
Library for drawing text for [gfx-rs](https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx-rs) graphics API. Uses [freetype-rs](https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/freetype-rs) underneath.
## Usage
Basic usage:
```rust
// Initialize text renderer.
let mut text = gfx_text::new(factory).build().unwrap();
// In render loop:
// Add some text 10 pixels down and right from the top left screen corner.
text.add(
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", // Text to add
[10, 10], // Position
[0.65, 0.16, 0.16, 1.0], // Text color
);
// Draw text.
text.draw(&mut stream);
```
See [API documentation](http://docs.piston.rs/gfx_text/gfx_text/) for overview of all available methods.
You can skip default font by disabling `include-font` feature:
```
[dependencies.gfx_text]
version = "*"
default-features = false
```
## Examples
See [this example](./examples/styles.rs) on how to draw text in various styles: different sizes, colors, fonts, etc.
