outtext

Displays a string in the viewport.

Defined in header <graphics.h>

Syntax

#include <graphics.h>
void far outtext(char far *textstring);

Portability

Remarks

outtext displays a text string in the viewport, using the current . justification settings and the current font, direction, and size.

outtext outputs textstring at the current position (CP). If the horizontal text

x-coordinate is advanced by textmdVnitextstring). Otherwise, the CP remains unchanged.

To maintain code compatibility when using several fonts, use textwidth and textheight to determine the dimensions of the string.

If a string is printed with the default font using outtext, any part of the string that extends outside the current viewport is truncated.

outtext is for use in graphics mode; it will not work in text mode.

Return value

None.
