In today's advanced Advance Learning Tutorial, you will learn how to print any string in the graphics mode?

1) OUTTEXTXY

In the Graphics mode, if a function is given to print any string that is done using outtextxy.

Prototype:

    outtextxy (int x , int y , "Text");

Note: This function works only on the graphics mode.

int x and y denote the current position and it is in pixel form.

Example:

    outtextxy(10, 10, "Welcome to the Tutorial of Graphics");

The outtextxy character uses the current font, current direction, and current size.

2) SETTEXTSTYLE

The function setstextstyle() is used to set these three attributes of any text.

Prototype:

    settextstyle(int font , int direction , int charsize);

settextstyle sets font, direction and char size of the text.

Note: This function needs to be called before the outtextxy() function, otherwise there will be no effect on text and output will be the same.

Graphics system of C ++ supports 8x8 bitmapped font system.

Directions

It supports two types of directions:

Horizontal text (left to right )
Vertical text (right to left )

By default, the direction is the horizontal direction. For the horizontal direction, value zero (0) and the value one (1) is passed for the vertical direction.

Char Size:

This is also an integer value. You can extend the size of text up to 10 times. The starting value is 0 as if you increase the value, the font size will increase.

Example:

    settextstyle(8,0,3);
    setcolor("RED");
    outtextxy(150,180,"Welcome to the Tutorial of Graphics");
