Text

Renders text over an input image.

user

Container for user-defined plugs. Nodes should never make their own plugs here, so users are free to do as they wish.

out

The output image generated by this node.

enabled

Turns the node on and off.

color

The colour of the text.

shadow

Enables the rendering of a drop shadow which can be coloured, offset and blurred.

shadowColor

The colour of the shadow.

shadowOffset

The offset of the shadow, measured in pixels.

shadowBlur

A blur applied to the shadow, measured in pixels.

text

The text to be rendered.

font

The font to render the text with. This should be a .ttf font file which is located on the paths specified by the IECORE_FONT_PATHS environment variable.

Supported file extensions : ttf

size

The size of the font in pixels. For best quality results for constant sized text prefer this over the scale setting on the transform, which is better suited for smoothly animating the size.

area

The area of the image within which the text is rendered. The text will be word wrapped to fit within the area and justified as specified by the justification setting. If the area is empty, then the full display window will be used instead.

horizontalAlignment

Determines whether the text is aligned to the left or right of the text area, or centered within it.

verticalAlignment

Determines whether the text is aligned to the bottom or top of the text area, or centered within it.

transform

A transformation applied to the entire text area after layout has been performed. The translate and pivot values are specified in pixels, and the rotate value is specified in degrees.
