Py5Graphics.text_font()

Py5Graphics.text_font()#

Sets the current font that will be drawn with the Py5Graphics.text() function.

Description#

Sets the current font that will be drawn with the Py5Graphics.text() function. Fonts must be created for py5 with create_font() or loaded with load_font() before they can be used. The font set through text_font() will be used in all subsequent calls to the Py5Graphics.text() function. If no size parameter is specified, the font size defaults to the original size (the size in which it was created with create_font_file()) overriding any previous calls to text_font() or Py5Graphics.text_size().

When fonts are rendered as an image texture (as is the case with the P2D and P3D renderers as well as with load_font() and vlw files), you should create fonts at the sizes that will be used most commonly. Using text_font() without the size parameter will result in the cleanest type.

This method is the same as text_font() but linked to a Py5Graphics object. To see example code for how it can be used, see text_font().

Underlying Processing method: PGraphics.textFont
