TuiParagraph

Draws text, wrapped or not, aligned left, centre or right, and scrollable.

Syntax

type TuiParagraph extends TuiWidget
    as ustring text
    as TuiStyle st
    as boolean wrap
    as uint8 align
    as int32 scrollY
end type

Description

Text: wrapped or not, left/centre/right, scrollable. Embedded chr(10) starts a new line. Wrapping goes through TuiWrap, so it is column-correct for CJK.

Example

#import "std/tui"
using tui

dim as TuiScreen scr
scr.Resize( 12, 5 )
dim as TuiFrame ptr f = scr.BeginFrame( )

dim as TuiParagraph p
p.text = "the quick brown fox"
p.wrap = TRUE
p.align = TUIALIGN_LEFT
p.Render( *f, f->Area( ) )

print p.SizeHint( f->Area( ) ).rows >= 2 '' -1 (true)  -- it wrapped
