Title: Simple Italic on Shape Script
Post by: Rich Anderson on November 08, 2019, 12:00:39 pm

I have a rather simple shape script where I print three properties inside the shape with this...

Code: [Select]

shape name
{
h_align="center";
println("#packagename#");
println("#name#");
print("(#TAG:Code#)");
}
I would like the first line (#packagename#) to be in italics, but I don't see any way to do this by turning italics=true for just that line. I can make the whole thing italics, but not just one line.  I tried putting that part in braces, but no luck.  I tried turning italics to true, then false, but no luck.   I tried adding other subshapes, but that was pretty complex and I couldn't get the veritical spacing to work right.

Is there any way to do this without adding more subshapes?

The bad news is you have to use subshapes. The good news is it's not that hard. Try starting with something like this:

Code: [Select]

shape main
{
layouttype="border";
rectangle(0,0,100,100);
addsubshape("row1","N");
addsubshape("row2","center");

shape row1
{
italic=true;
h_align="center";
preferredheight=20;
println("#packagename#");
}

shape row2
{
h_align="center";
println("#name#");
print("(#TAG:Code#)");
}
}
