TXLWizard.ShapeLibrary.LabelArray

Renders an array of arbitrary text in TXLWriter.

Functions

GetLabelArray(TXLWriter, Text, OriginPoint, ...) Renders an array of arbitrary text.
TXLWizard.ShapeLibrary.LabelArray.GetLabelArray(TXLWriter, Text, OriginPoint, PositionDelta1, PositionDelta2, Repetitions1, Repetitions2, FontSize=100, StrokeWidth=10, RotationAngle=0, FillCharacters=True, RoundCaps=False, Layer=1, **kwargs)[source]

Renders an array of arbitrary text. Will have an automatically generated ID. The markers {i} and {j} in the text are substituted with an auto-incremented index starting at 1.

Parameters:
  • TXLWriter (TXLWizard.TXLWriter.TXLWriter) – Current Instance of TXLWizard.TXLWriter.TXLWriter
  • Text (str) – Text to be displayed
  • OriginPoint (list of float) – x- and y-coordinates of the origin point of the label array.
  • PositionDelta1 (list of float) – x- and y- coordinates of the first replication direction.
  • PositionDelta2 (list of float) – x- and y- coordinates of the second replication direction.
  • Repetitions1 (int) – Number of replications in the first replication direction
  • Repetitions2 (int) – Number of replications in the second replication direction
  • FontSize (float, optional) –

    Font size. Character height = font size.

    Defaults to 100

  • StrokeWidth (float, optional) –

    line thickness of the letters.

    Defaults to 10

  • RotationAngle (float, optional) –

    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

Examples

Import required modules

>>> import TXLWizard.TXLWriter
>>> import TXLWizard.ShapeLibrary.LabelArray

Initialize TXLWriter

>>> TXLWriter = TXLWizard.TXLWriter.TXLWriter()

Add a label array

>>> SampleLabelObject = TXLWizard.ShapeLibrary.LabelArray.GetLabelArray(
...     TXLWriter,
...     Text='ObjectA_A{i}B{j}',
...     OriginPoint=[
...         -200, 300
...     ],
...     PositionDelta1=[
...         500, 0
...     ],
...     PositionDelta2=[
...         0, 100
...     ],
...     Repetitions1=3,
...     Repetitions2=5,
...     FontSize=20,
...     StrokeWidth=4,
...     RoundCaps=True, # Set to False to improve e-Beam performance
...     Layer=1
... )
