Examples
The following example creates a FormattedText object and then applies several formatting styles to the text, including SetFontStyle.
protected override void OnRender(DrawingContext drawingContext)
{
string testString = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor";
// Create the initial formatted text string.
FormattedText formattedText = new FormattedText(
testString,
CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-us"),
FlowDirection.LeftToRight,
new Typeface("Verdana"),
32,
Brushes.Black);
// Set a maximum width and height. If the text overflows these values, an ellipsis "..." appears.
formattedText.MaxTextWidth = 300;
formattedText.MaxTextHeight = 240;
// Use a larger font size beginning at the first (zero-based) character and continuing for 5 characters.
// The font size is calculated in terms of points -- not as device-independent pixels.
formattedText.SetFontSize(36 * (96.0 / 72.0), 0, 5);
// Use a Bold font weight beginning at the 6th character and continuing for 11 characters.
formattedText.SetFontWeight(FontWeights.Bold, 6, 11);
// Use a linear gradient brush beginning at the 6th character and continuing for 11 characters.
formattedText.SetForegroundBrush(
new LinearGradientBrush(
Colors.Orange,
Colors.Teal,
90.0),
6, 11);
// Use an Italic font style beginning at the 28th character and continuing for 28 characters.
formattedText.SetFontStyle(FontStyles.Italic, 28, 28);
// Draw the formatted text string to the DrawingContext of the control.
drawingContext.DrawText(formattedText, new Point(10, 0));
}
