Examples

The following example shows how to use a TextFormatter object to generate formatted lines of text that can be displayed as drawing objects.

// Create a TextFormatter object.
TextFormatter formatter = TextFormatter.Create();

// Create common paragraph property settings.
CustomTextParagraphProperties customTextParagraphProperties
    = new CustomTextParagraphProperties();

// Format each line of text from the text store and draw it.
while (textStorePosition < customTextSource.Text.Length)
{
    // Create a textline from the text store using the TextFormatter object.
    using (TextLine myTextLine = formatter.FormatLine(
        customTextSource,
        textStorePosition,
        96 * 6,
        customTextParagraphProperties,
        null))
    {
        // Draw the formatted text into the drawing context.
        myTextLine.Draw(drawingContext, linePosition, InvertAxes.None);

        // Update the index position in the text store.
        textStorePosition += myTextLine.Length;

        // Update the line position coordinate for the displayed line.
        linePosition.Y += myTextLine.Height;
    }
}
' Create a TextFormatter object.
Dim formatter As TextFormatter = TextFormatter.Create()

' Create common paragraph property settings.
Dim customTextParagraphProperties As New CustomTextParagraphProperties()

' Format each line of text from the text store and draw it.
Do While textStorePosition < customTextSource.Text.Length
    ' Create a textline from the text store using the TextFormatter object.
    Using myTextLine As TextLine = formatter.FormatLine(customTextSource, textStorePosition, 96 * 6, customTextParagraphProperties, Nothing)
        ' Draw the formatted text into the drawing context.
        myTextLine.Draw(drawingContext, linePosition, InvertAxes.None)

        ' Update the index position in the text store.
        textStorePosition += myTextLine.Length

        ' Update the line position coordinate for the displayed line.
        linePosition.Y += myTextLine.Height
    End Using
Loop

Remarks

TextFormatter is the WPF text engine that provides services for formatting text and breaking text lines. TextFormatter can handle different text character formats and paragraph styles, and includes support for international text layout.

Unlike a traditional text API, the TextFormatter interacts with a text layout client through a set of callback methods. It requires the client to provide these methods in an implementation of the TextSource class. The following diagram illustrates the interaction of the text formatter client and the text layout client.
