Open Dev Kit Documentation :: OpenGL :: Render Context :: Draw Text Ex

OpenGL.RenderContext.DrawTextEx(
  Text String,
  Area Rectangle,
  Color 1 Color HDR,
  Color 2 Color HDR,
  Font Font*,
  Line Spacing Float,
  Character Spacing Float,
  Shader Shader*,
  Extrusion Depth Float,
  Material Model Material
) 

Parameters

Text String

Area Rectangle

Color 1 Color HDR

The primary color of the text to be drawn

Color 2 Color HDR

An optional second color to fade to, if the render context supports it easily

Font Font*

An optional override font to use.

Line Spacing Float

The spacing factor between individual lines

Character Spacing Float

The spacing factor between individual characters; also known as kerning

Shader Shader*

Extrusion Depth Float

When > 0, emit a 3D outline mesh per glyph (front + back + optional side walls) extruded along -Z by this many local units. Default 0 keeps a flat 2-tri-quad path. All paths render through ShaderLitColor with per-vertex normals so HologramParameters lighting/material applies uniformly.

Material Model Material

Material whose color uniforms (Ambient/Diffuse/Emissive/Specular/Power) drive the lighting equation. Default-constructed neutral material (white diffuse, zero specular) renders plain text correctly when no material is configured.

Return Value

Nothing

Lua Usage

renderContext:DrawTextEx(text, area, color1, color2, font, lineSpacing, characterSpacing, shader, extrusionDepth, material)
