Description

The TextField class is used to create objects for text display.

Examples

Example 1: bitmap font:

local font = Font.new("myfont.txt", "myfont.png") -- you need to add your bitmap font
local textfield = TextField.new(font, "some text")
stage:addChild(textfield)
textfield:setText("some other text") -- change the text

Example 2: default font:

-- to use the default font, pass nil value for the font parameter
local textfield2 = TextField.new(nil, "some text with default font")
stage:addChild(textfield2)

Example 3: TTFont:

local font = TTFont.new("fonts/Tahoma.ttf", 32, "", true, 1) -- you need to add your .ttf font
local text = TextField.new(font, "This is a text")
text:setPosition(100, 100)
stage:addChild(text)

Example 4: colored text:

local text = TextField.new(nil, "This is a \e[color=#f005]semi transparent red\e[color] text")
text:setPosition(32, 64)
stage:addChild(text)
