Render word-wrapped UTF-8 text at high quality to a new ARGB surface.

Header File

Syntax

SDL_Surface * TTF_RenderUTF8_Blended_Wrapped(TTF_Font *font,
                const char *text, SDL_Color fg, Uint32 wrapLength);

Function Parameters

TTF_Font *	font	the font to render with.
const char *	text	text to render, in UTF-8 encoding.
SDL_Color	fg	the foreground color for the text.
Uint32	wrapLength	the text is wrapped to multiple lines on line endings and on word boundaries if it extends beyond this value in pixels.

Return Value

(SDL_Surface *) Returns a new 32-bit, ARGB surface, or NULL if there was an error.

Remarks

This function will allocate a new 32-bit, ARGB surface, using alpha blending to dither the font with the given color. This function returns the new surface, or NULL if there was an error.

Text is wrapped to multiple lines on line endings and on word boundaries if it extends beyond wrapLength in pixels.

If wrapLength is 0, this function will only wrap on newline characters.

You can render at other quality levels with TTF_RenderUTF8_Solid_Wrapped, TTF_RenderUTF8_Shaded_Wrapped, and TTF_RenderUTF8_LCD_Wrapped.

Version

This function is available since SDL_ttf 2.0.18.
