Angled text?

[urosg80]

I found this lib and it is superb, really nice working but is there any simple way to support text draw with angle?

Do you mean rotating the entire string to be drawn? Currently there's not a built-in way to do that and you'd need to draw to a temp target and then draw that rotated.

Yes exactly, rotated ;) I guessed so much that it would have to be put into a temporary target and go from there.

Any ideas on how to accomplish that?

Using SDL_Renderer or SDL_gpu?

SDL_Renderer

// Create the intermediate texture target
SDL_Texture* temp = SDL_CreateTexture(renderer, format, SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET, width, height);  // You should reuse this instead of creating a new one every time.

// Draw the text onto it
SDL_SetRenderTarget(renderer, temp);
FC_Draw(font, temp, 0, 0, "My Text");
SDL_SetRenderTarget(renderer, NULL);

// Now draw it rotated somewhere
SDL_Rect dest = {x, y, w, h};
SDL_RenderCopyEx(renderer, temp, NULL, &dest, angle, NULL, SDL_FLIP_NONE);

SDL_DestroyTexture(temp);
