A simple style outcome question

[sculpteur]

Hi,
I've been doing a lot of testing but I'm still not able to explain this :

Code: Select all

    style.tips_top.outlines=[(3, "6b7eef", 0,0)]

I would like to know what this is doing (the numbers).
I know it 'outline' the text with an other color (different from the main one), but I don't know what the parametters are changing.

3 = ?
6b7eef = The color, (pretty obvious).
0 = ?
0 = ?

Thanks !

You can always check RenPy documentation.

outlines - list of tuple of (int, color, int, int)

This is a list of outlines that are drawn behind the text. Each tuple specifies an outline, and outlines are drawn from back to front.

The list contains (size, color, xoffset, yoffset) tuples. Size is the amount the font is expanded by, in pixels. Color is the color of the outline. xoffset and yoffset are the amount the outline is shifted by, in pixels.

The outline functionality can also be used to give drop-shadows to fonts, by specifying a size of 0 and non-zero offsets.

By default, size, xoffset and yoffset are scaled with the text. When given as the absolute type, they are not scaled. For example:

Code: Select all

    style default:
        outlines [ (absolute(1), "#000", absolute(0), absolute(0)) ]

will always produce a 1 pixel-wide border.

Outlines only work with truetype fonts.

Thank you ! I didn't find it when I was looking for it in Renpy Documentation.
I probably put the wrong key words.
I will try to search it better next time.
