Header file

Defined in SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h

Overview

This function will allocate a new 8-bit, palettized surface. The surface's 0 pixel will be the colorkey, giving a transparent background. The 1 pixel will be set to the text color.

Text is wrapped to multiple lines on line endings and on word boundaries if it extends beyond wrapLength in pixels.

If wrapLength is 0, this function will only wrap on newline characters.

You can render at other quality levels with

TTF_RenderText_Shaded_Wrapped ,

TTF_RenderText_Blended_Wrapped , and

TTF_RenderText_LCD_Wrapped .
