Origin, whereas all the new API functions result in a local originĪnd the left end of the text baseline. Note that the old textSVG' function resulted in a centered local.

Lets try out creating a glyph using an SVG import from Inkscape for the.

If you actually want an explicit Path instead of a Diagram, youĬan call drop_rect instead of set_envelope. You can import glyphs that you have created in Inkscape with FontForge or you.

Finally, we call set_envelope which converts a PathInRect to aĭiagram, by stroking the text path and appropriately setting the.

This is probably the most common mode, but fit_width

We then use the fit_height function to scale the resulting text so.

Overriding the textFont field to set the font explicitly.

There are also several new functions that allow specifying width and.

Splits out width and height options into dedicatedĬombinators such as fit_width and fit_height.

Introduces a new intermediate type PathInRect.

It was common to see code like this: text' font h s = (strokeP $ textSVG' (TextOpts font INSIDE_H KERN False h h) s) Options record and directly produced a diagrams Path. Previously, functions provided by the library took a large TextOpts Version 1.8 of the library greatly improved the API but introduced a Lot of fonts are not allowed to be distributed freely.
