Default Font
You can create a TextShape without having to specify a Font. By default, the shape will create itself with the following metrics:
AvenirNext-DemiBold
80pt
So, to create a basic label you can do this:
let label = TextShape("A Label")Otherwise, you can create a font and apply it like this:
let f = Font("Helvetica", size: 80)
let label = TextShape("A label", font: f)Example
//create an initial font and a label
let label = TextShape(text: "Default Font")!
label.center = Point(canvas.center.x, canvas.height/3)
//use the initial font to create a new font with a bigger size
let f = Font(name: "Helvetica", size: 30.0)!
let smallLabel = TextShape(text: "Small Font", font: f)!
smallLabel.center = Point(canvas.center.x, canvas.height*2/3)
//add the labels to the canvas
self.canvas.add(label)
self.canvas.add(smallLabel)
