It is recommended to always specify the SDL dependency explicitly. To specify a library pathname explicitly, you can add the `library` argument to the `Serafim\SDL\TTF\TTF` constructor. > By default, the library will try to resolve the binary's pathname automatically. ``` // Load library from pathname (it may be relative or part of system-dependent path) $ttf = new Serafim\SDL\TTF\TTF(library: __DIR__ . '/path/to/library.so'); // Try to automatically resolve library's pathname $ttf = new Serafim\SDL\TTF\TTF(library: null); ``` You can also specify the library version explicitly. Depending on this version, the corresponding functions of the SDL Image will be available. > By default, the library will try to resolve SDL Image version automatically. ``` // Use v2.0.14 from string $ttf = new Serafim\SDL\TTF\TTF(version: '2.0.14'); // Use v2.20.2 from predefined versions constant $ttf = new Serafim\SDL\TTF\TTF(version: \Serafim\SDL\TTF\Version::V2_20_2); // Use latest supported version $ttf = new Serafim\SDL\TTF\TTF(version: \Serafim\SDL\TTF\Version::LATEST); ``` To speed up the header compiler, you can use any PSR-16 compatible cache driver. ``` $ttf = new Serafim\SDL\TTF\TTF(cache: new Psr16Cache(...)); ``` In addition, you can control other preprocessor directives explicitly: ``` $pre = new \FFI\Preprocessor\Preprocessor(); $pre->define('true', 'false'); // happy debugging! $ttf = new Serafim\SDL\TTF\TTF(pre: $pre); ``` Example ------- [](#example) ``` use Serafim\SDL\SDL; use Serafim\SDL\TTF\TTF; $sdl = new SDL(); $ttf = new TTF(sdl: $sdl); $sdl->SDL_Init(SDL::SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING); $ttf->TTF_Init(); $font = $ttf->TTF_OpenFont(__DIR__ . '/path/to/font.ttf', 42); echo 'Hinting: ' . $ttf->TTF_GetFontHinting($font) . "\n"; echo 'Kerning: ' . $ttf->TTF_GetFontKerning($font) . "\n"; echo 'Style: ' . match($ttf->TTF_GetFontStyle($font)) { TTF::TTF_STYLE_NORMAL => 'normal', TTF::TTF_STYLE_BOLD => 'bold', TTF::TTF_STYLE_ITALIC => 'italic', TTF::TTF_STYLE_UNDERLINE => 'underline', TTF::TTF_STYLE_STRIKETHROUGH => 'strikethrough', } . "\n"; $color = $sdl->new('SDL_Color'); $color->r = 120; $color->g = 100; $color->b = 80; $surface = $ttf->TTF_RenderText_Solid($font, 'Hello World!', $color); $ttf->TTF_Quit(); $sdl->SDL_Quit(); ``` ### Health Score 35 — LowBetter than 79% of packages Maintenance29 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity17 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity69 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 85.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
