- can anyone recommend a replacement for drawtext()?
- it would normally be part of a library package of
- some sort, which is fine. i don't mind paying for
- the rest of it, but a version of drawtext() that
- works is my main interest.
-
- in particular (speaking in drawtext() terms), it
- must support a DT_CALCRECT flag that reports
- what the subsequent call to drawtext() with the
- same parameters will actually look like. it
- must also clip to the given rect if requested.
- (and if you think the windows drawtext() already
- does this stuff, you're mistaken.)
-
- in addition, extra bells and whistles would be
- welcome (like drawing text to a region instead
- of a rect), but in any case it should be fast
- and efficient (don't ding the performance for
- a formatting flag i didn't specify). i also
- need a package with source code and without
- royalties.
-
- any pointers would be appreciated. thanks.
