PS_CONTINUE_TEXT(3)

💖 PS_CONTINUE_TEXT(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual, and it's about PS_continue_text — she's a lib function, she lives in pslib.h, and she is literally the "and then a new line" girl of the pslib text world. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

PS_continue_text — continue text in the next line, slay 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <pslib.h>

void PS_continue_text(PSDoc *psdoc, char *text)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the tea 🍓: this function outputs a text one line below the last outputted line. like, it's the "press enter but make it art" of the library. the way it just… moves down a line and keeps going. iconic.

the text you hand her must be null terminated, periodt. don't be out here passing half-strings and expecting main character energy. 🫶

the line spacing? not a vibe she decides on her own, bestie — she takes it from the value "leading", which you have to set with PS_set_value(3) and it's measured in points. so if your lines look cramped, that's on you and your leading, not on her. 🙈

and the actual position of the text? that's determined by the values "textx" and "texty", which you can request with PS_get_value(3). so if you ever need to know where the text is about to land — ask her, she'll tell you. 💖

lowkey important: "leading", "textx" and "texty" are the whole personality of this function. forget them and the text is just floating around with no sense of direction. 😭
