Syntax

FShapedGlyphSequenceRef ShapeUnidirectionalText
(
    const FString & InText,
    const FSlateFontInfo & InFontInfo,
    const float InFontScale,
    const TextBiDi::ETextDirection InTextDirection,
    const ETextShapingMethod InTextShapingMethod
) const

Remarks

Performs text shaping on the given range of the string using the given font info. Returns you the shaped text sequence to use for text rendering via FSlateDrawElement::MakeShapedText. When using the version which takes a start point and length, the text outside of the given range won't be shaped, but will provide context information to allow the shaping to function correctly. ShapeUnidirectionalText is used when you have text that all reads in the same direction (either LTR or RTL).

Parameters

Parameter	Description
InText	The string containing the sub-string to shape
InTextStart	The start position of the text to shape
InTextLen	The length of the text to shape
InFontInfo	Information about the font that the string is drawn with
InFontScale	The scale to apply to the font
InTextDirection	The reading direction of the text to shape (valid values are LeftToRight or RightToLeft)
InTextShapingMethod	The text shaping method to use
