TTF_GetFontDirection(3)

✨ TTF_GetFontDirection ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_ttf3 functions corner of the manual, this one's a little cutie called TTF_GetFontDirection 🎀

TTF_GetFontDirection — get the direction to be used for text shaping by a font. no cap, that's literally its whole job 🦋

it lives in SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h, so that's where you go looking when you need it 💅

#include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"

TTF_Direction TTF_GetFontDirection(TTF_Font *font);

so like, this hands you back the direction that's gonna be used for text shaping by that font.

and if nobody ever set one? it defaults to TTF_DIRECTION_INVALID 💀 that's the fallback, that's what you get, no surprises.

font — the font to query. yes queen, just hand over the font and let her spill the tea 💜

returns a ( TTF_Direction ) — the direction to be used for text shaping. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

this function should be called on the thread that created the font. like, same thread, bestie, don't be sneaky about it 🙈

this one's been around since SDL_ttf 3.0.0, so it's basically iconic at this point 👑

and that's the whole page, mwah 💋 go shape some text, you're doing amazing sweetie 🧚

this was brought to you by SDL_ttf, version SDL_ttf 3.2.2 — catch you in the next manpage, bestie 🍓💖
