Add Text Node

[anandology]

The API

Not sure, if this can be called a shape though.

I'm not completelty sure what would be the right API for this.

t = Text(text="Hello")
t = Text(value="Hello")
t = Text(contents="Hello")

The first one is confusing because the word text is appearing multiple times. I'm not sure either value or contents is the right word.

@amitkaps what do you think?

[amitkaps]

Text is a responsive shape - normally implemented within a rectangle frame element - where the size is determined by content (character) length, font & font specs like line height and wrapping & alignment modifier.

I would treat the content as default first param and then all other modifier as keywords args.

t = Text("hello world")
t1 = Text("hello", start=Point(100, 100))

How about this API for text?

t = text("hello", x=100, y=100)
show(t)

How to specify the size of the text?

How to specify the size of the text?

How about this way?

t = text("hello", x=100, y=100, font_size=24)

A text node feels essential, so I gave this a quick go. It turns out that with the current coordinate system of joy this is rather difficult because the flip transformation of the y axis flips any text as well. This seems to be a rather inherent property of SVG: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3846015/flip-svg-coordinate-system

This is easy to workaround though if you have full control over the generated SVG and then alloows to add a basic text node: #37

I did not understand the text can you explain it once again
