This function is a combination of the base draw_text() function with the draw_text_ext() and draw_text_transformed() functions, permitting you to scale and rotate text while maintaining a specific line spacing and maximum width per line. Note that the "width" argument is based on a scale of 1, so if the scale is different, this value should be changed proportionally. For example, if the base width for a line break is 300 and you set the scale to 2, then the text will appear wrong, over-running the given width. Instead you should have set the width to 150 to compensate the scaling.
draw_text_ext_transformed(x, y, string, sep, w, xscale, yscale, angle);
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| x | Real | The x coordinate of the drawn string. |
| y | Real | The y coordinate of the drawn string. |
| string | String | The string to draw. |
| sep | Real | The distance in pixels between lines of text. |
| w | Real | The maximum width in pixels of the string before a line break. |
| xscale | Real | The horizontal scale. |
| yscale | Real | The vertical scale. |
| angle | Real | The angle of the text. |

draw_set_halign(fa_center);

image_angle += 1;
draw_text_ext_transformed(room_width / 2, room_height / 2, keyboard_string, 10, 300, 2, 2, image_angle);
The above code will draw the given text in the middle of the room, with a maximum string length of 300 pixels, a spacing between each line of 10 pixels, spinning round and scaled to twice its original size.
