TTF_RenderUTF8_LCD

Render UTF-8 text at LCD subpixel quality to a new ARGB surface.

Syntax

SDL_Surface * TTF_RenderUTF8_LCD(TTF_Font *font,
                const char *text, SDL_Color fg, SDL_Color bg);

Function Parameters

font the font to render with.
text text to render, in UTF-8 encoding.
fg the foreground color for the text.
bg the background color for the text.

Return Value

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, and render alpha-blended text using FreeType's LCD subpixel rendering. This function returns the new surface, or NULL if there was an error.

This will not word-wrap the string; you'll get a surface with a single line of text, as long as the string requires. You can use TTF_RenderUTF8_LCD_Wrapped() instead if you need to wrap the output to multiple lines.

This will not wrap on newline characters.

You can render at other quality levels with TTF_RenderUTF8_Solid, TTF_RenderUTF8_Shaded, and TTF_RenderUTF8_Blended.

Version

This function is available since SDL_ttf 2.20.0.
