TextToContent - C# API Docs

Static class that can be used to convert text (string) to content (two dimensional int array) that can be used as input for DotMatrix display..

Note that this class is normally used just internally by TextCommand and in most cases it is better to just use TextCommand directly. If this class is used to convert text to content, resulting content must be added to display using DisplayModel or ContentCommand. This however gives much more freedom where to put text on display, or gives possibility to make changes to resulting content before using it.

public static int[,] getContent (string textLine, TextCommand.Fonts font, bool fixedWidth, bool bold, int charSpacing)

Change line of text (string) to int[,] content.

Parameters	textLine	Text to convert. If text contains linefeed characters, it will split text to multiple rows and default line spacing and text alignment will be used.
	font	Font to be used to generate content, one of the values from enum TextCommand.Fonts
	fixedWidth	If true, all the characters takes same amount of space. If false, different characters may take different amount of horizontal space.
	bold	If true, resulting text characters are bold. If false, then using normal characters.
	charSpacing	Amount of dots between each character.

Returns

Two dimensional int array defining states of dots on each row and column.

public static int[,] getContent (string[] textLines, TextCommand.Fonts font, bool fixedWidth, bool bold, int textColor, int backColor, int charSpacing, int lineSpacing, TextCommand.TextAlignments multiLineTextAlignment)

Change multiple lines of text (string) to int content.

Parameters	textLines	One of more lines of text.
	font	Font to be used to generate content, one of the values from enum TextCommand.Fonts
	fixedWidth	If true, all the characters takes same amount of space. If false, different characters may take different amount of horizontal space.
	bold	If true, resulting text characters are bold. If false, then using normal characters.
	textColor	Color used for any dots that should be on.
	backColor	Color used for any dots that should be off.
	charSpacing	Amount of dots between each character.
	lineSpacing	Amount of dots between each line if there is multiple lines of text.
	multiLineTextAlignment	Text alignment in case there is multiple lines of text, one of the values from enum TextCommand.TextAlignments

Returns

Two dimensional int array defining states of dots on each row and column.
