This code works fine:

    img.text((100,150), u"hello", fill = (0,0,0), font = (None,50))
    canvas.blit(img)

But this does not:

    img.text((100,150), u"hello", fill = (0,0,0), font = (None,50,FONT_BOLD))
    canvas.blit(img)

So what am I doing wrong?

1.4.5 doc - page 32 says:
A font can be speci_ed in three ways:
_ None, meaning the default font
_ a Unicode string that represents a full font name, such as u'LatinBold19'
_ a plain string symbolic name that refers to a font setting currently speci_ed by the UI framework
_ as a two or three element tuple, where
{ the _rst element is the font name (unicode or string) or None for default font
{ the second element is the font height in pixels or None for default size
{ the third (optional) element is the ags applied to the font or None for default options.

The ags are the following:
_ FONT_BOLD bold

Hi jtullis,

Well, FONT_BOLD is declared in graphics module, so you should assign it:

import graphics

img.text((100,150), u"hello", fill = (0,0,0), font = (None,50,graphics.FONT_BOLD))
canvas.blit(img)

Haven't tested it, but this seems obvious


Hope it helps,

Rafael.

But why my 3230 didn't work either, even though I have done that?

Correct - thank you Rafael.

    img.text((100,150), u"hello", fill = (0,0,0), font = (None,50,graphics.FONT_BOLD))
    canvas.blit(img)

I'm glad it was obvious for you, but for me I would never have figured that out from the pdf doc. Why can't they include a simple example usage of the flags? Or just add a sentence saying using graphics.flag ?

Is there a way for us to suggest examples to go in the pdf doc?

I have pasted the flags below in case someone searching in future needs help to do the same as me.

FONT_BOLD bold
FONT_ITALIC italic
FONT_SUBSCRIPT subscript
FONT_SUPERSCRIPT superscript
FONT_ANTIALIAS forces the font to be antialiased
FONT_NO ANTIALIAS forces the font to not be antialiased

Hi jtullis,

It is obvious because the Documentation is separated by modules, so all you see inside graphics module, should have graphics. in the front and this is valid for all the modules inside the PDF file


BR,

There are limitations when using Image on 1st edition phones, so this is probably one of them.

There's a module called Image1st or something that should give the methods you need.

Yes you're right it's the image1st

OK I understand a bit better how to use the help doc now - thank you!

Also, is there a diagram of all the modules and their classes/functions etc, like a UML diagram?

Or do we always have to trawl through the help doc to find out the options?

Thanks again,

I guess the official documentation is the best way for checking how to use the functions of a module

Also a good way is checking the Wiki Code Examples, which can also help you very much.

May be,But I mean the 3230s are 2nd edition phones?
