TXLWizard.ShapeLibrary.Label

Renders arbitrary text in TXLWriter.

Functions

GetLabel(TXLWriter, Text[, OriginPoint, ...]) Renders arbitrary text.
TXLWizard.ShapeLibrary.Label.GetLabel(TXLWriter, Text, OriginPoint=[0, 0], FontSize=100, StrokeWidth=10, RotationAngle=0, FillCharacters=True, RoundCaps=False, Layer=1, **kwargs)[source]

Renders arbitrary text. Will have an automatically generated ID.

Parameters:
  • TXLWriter (TXLWizard.TXLWriter.TXLWriter) – Current Instance of TXLWizard.TXLWriter.TXLWriter
  • Text (str) – Text to be displayed
  • OriginPoint (list of float, optional) – x- and y-coordinates of the origin point of the label. Defaults to [0,0]
  • FontSize (float, optional) – Font size. Character height = font size. Defaults to 100
  • StrokeWidth (float) – line thickness of the letters. Defaults to 10
  • RotationAngle (float) – Angle by which the text is rotated. Defaults to 0
  • FillCharacters (bool, optional) – If set to True, closed boundaries will be filled. Can be useful if there should be no free-standing parts. Defaults to True
  • RoundCaps (bool, optional) – If set to True, the paths will habe rounded ends. Should be set to False for better e-Beam Performance Defaults to False.
  • Layer (int, optional) – Layer the text should be rendered in. Defaults to 1
  • **kwargs – keyword arguments
Returns:

Structure object containing the patterns representing the text
Return type:

TXLWizard.Patterns.Structure.Structure
