TIETextLayer.TextOffsetY

Declaration

property TextOffsetY: Double;

Description

Shifts the drawing of text up or down. TextOffsetY is a percentage value with positive and negative values, so -0.10, moves the text up 10% of the layer height. 0.50 will shift halfway down.

Note: There is no checking to ensure text is validly drawn using TextOffsetY. I.e. Extreme values may cause the text to not be visible.

Default: 0

// Draw text bubble and position text within it
TIETextLayer( ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer ).BorderShape := iesSpeechBubbleLeftOutShort;

// Add a "Shape" layer with vertically offset text
