Constructor Detail

MinuetoText

public MinuetoText(java.lang.String text,
                   MinuetoFont font,
                   MinuetoColor color)

Builds a MinuetoText image of a string of the specified color and font.

Parameters:

text - String denoting the text to be used to create the image.

color - MinuetoColor denoting the color of the string.

font - MinuetoFont describing the font used to draw the string.

MinuetoText

public MinuetoText(java.lang.String text,
                   MinuetoFont font,
                   MinuetoColor color,
                   boolean antiAliased)

Builds a MinuetoText image of a string of the specified color and font. The string can also anti-aliased. Anti-aliasing tries to improve the visibility of a font by introducing variation in the colors used to draw the text. This gives great result for large fonts, but should be avoided with small fonts.

Parameters:

text - String denoting the text to be used to create the image.

color - MinuetoColor denoting the color of the string.

font - MinuetoFont describing the font used to draw the string.

antiAliased - boolean indicating if the text should be anti-aliased.
