Hoping to change the text line height/ leading?

[drpeck]

I'm outputting text like so:

var textOptions = new TextGraphicsOptions
{
    TextOptions = new TextOptions
    {
        WrapTextWidth = 1000        
    }
};

image.Mutate(c => c.DrawText(textOptions, myLongText, regularFont, textColour, new Point(0,0)));

It's all good, but to match the design I've been given, I need to increase the space between the wrapped lines of text. I can't see any method of doing this. Is there a way?

As far as I'm aware, there is none today, and you have to implement your custom layout with TextMeasurer.

I think this might be a valid feature request for SixLabors.Fonts, @tocsoft thoughts?

[drpeck]

Are there any examples of this? All I'm imagining is a loop that adds words to TextMeasurer.Measure("Text to measure", options); until you hit the limit, and then output the text. You'd need output another line further down (etc. etc.).

I assume 'custom layouts' aren't a concept that I've missed.

I have a commercial license if this would make any difference to the prioritization of the feature request.

I'm having a really hard time working out how to download all different changes required. However, once the changes are added to TextOptions this looks like exactly what I need. 👍👍

You can try it as soon as #116 is merged, stay tuned.

@drpeck Everything is merged and deployed to our build server.

If you add the following source to your NuGet.config you can update to 1.0.0-beta11.2 which contains the new property.

Gotcha.

This works perfectly, from my tests. Thanks for accepting the request but also the speedy acceptance and implementation. 👍👍

[JimBobSquarePants]

Perfect! Thanks for your support 👍

Opened SixLabors/Fonts#152 to track the feature request. Seems like @JimBobSquarePants can also help here, but the more eyes on the code the faster we finish it.

Also opened #114.
