TTF_TextEngine(3type)

💖 NAME 💖

TTF_TextEngine — bestie, this is the text engine you use to create text objects ✨

📁 HEADER FILE 📁

It lives in SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h, no cap 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"

typedef struct TTF_TextEngine TTF_TextEngine;

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so listen. TTF_TextEngine is a public interface, right? Which means applications and libraries can both use it to do their own customized rendering with text objects 💅 Like, you get to be the main character of your own text-drawing situation. If you want the full lore, go peek at <SDL3_ttf/SDL_textengine.h> — that's where all the details are hiding 🦋

And here's the tea: the library already ships with three text engines, so you literally have options, periodt:

• Drawing to an SDL_Surface, created with

TTF_CreateSurfaceTextEngine ()

• Drawing with an SDL 2D renderer, created with

TTF_CreateRendererTextEngine ()

• Drawing with the SDL GPU API, created with

TTF_CreateGPUTextEngine ()

Pick your fighter, bestie, all three are iconic in their own way 🌈
