Perl Cairo tutorial - Draw text
This is one page of a Perl Cairo tutorial.
This shows setting a font usingselect_font_face
and
set_font_size
and drawing text using
show_text
. As can be seen, the text is positioned
above and to the right of where we have moved to. #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Cairo; my $size = 400; my $surface = Cairo::ImageSurface->create ('argb32', $size, $size); my $cr = Cairo::Context->create ($surface); $cr->rectangle (0, 0, $size, $size); $cr->set_source_rgb (0.9, 0.9, 0.9); $cr->fill (); # Draw a grid $cr->set_source_rgb (0.4, 0.4, 1); $cr->set_line_width (2); for my $i (1..3) { $cr->move_to (($size * $i)/4, 0); $cr->line_to (($size * $i)/4, $size); $cr->move_to (0, ($size * $i)/4); $cr->line_to ($size, ($size * $i)/4); } $cr->stroke (); # Set the font $cr->select_font_face ('sans', 'normal', 'bold'); # Set the size of the font $cr->set_font_size ($size/4); # Set the colour to "black". $cr->set_source_rgb (0, 0, 0); $cr->move_to ($size/4, $size/4); # Draw text at the specified position $cr->show_text ("Cairo"); # We have to call "fill" before we change the colour. $cr->fill (); # Set the colour to "red". $cr->set_source_rgb (1, 0, 0); # Draw text at the specified position $cr->move_to ($size/4, (3*$size)/4); $cr->show_text ("Larry"); $cr->fill (); my $png = 'simple-text.png'; $surface->write_to_png ($png);
