ULabel(3U)

💖 ULabel — a whole structured graphic that's literally just one line of text 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the InterViews Reference Manual section 3U, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about ULabel. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Unidraw/Graphic/label.h>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. A ULabel is a Graphic — yes, the Graphic class, she's the mother — and what she does is display one single line of text. One line. That's the whole job. She's not doing side quests. 🎀

She also stores a PSFont, and that PSFont is what defines the font the text shows up in. Like, the font is part of her whole thing. 👑

And here's the layout tea: with no transformation applied, the text gets drawn with its bounding box's lower-left corner sitting right at the origin. That's it, that's the placement. No cap. 🌈

✨ PUBLIC OPERATIONS ✨

• ULabel(const char* text, Graphic* = nil) — construct a label, bestie! You hand her a null-terminated string in text, plus an optional Graphic to pull an initial set of graphics state from. Heads up: ULabel stores a copy of text internally, so she's keeping her own little version, not borrowing yours. 💅
• const char* GetOriginal() — returns a pointer to the text that the label stores internally. Her own copy. The original. The one and only. 🫶
