Re: How to draw 'outline' styled text using ATSU?

With ATSUI, you need to set the color using the ATSUI style attribute, kATSUColorTag or kATSURGBAlphaColorTag. Unlike CoreText which relies on the CGContext being already setup, ATSUI sets up the CGContext based on it's client's setting right before drawing and then returns the state back to what it was after it finishes drawing. So if you don't need to be backward compatible with the same code set, I'd make the move to CoreText rather than ATSUI if you're going through the trouble anyway.

Subject: How to draw 'outline' styled text using ATSU?

Hi there

We are converting our QuickDraw API for drawing text to ATSU calls. To
get the 'outline' style we followed the link,
http://lists.apple.com/archives/carbon-dev/2006/Jul/msg00072.html
[ Draw the text into A CGContext with the stroke color set to some
color and the fill color set to a transparent (alpha 0) color. ]

But either the CGContextSetStrokeColor and CGContextSetFillColor has
no effect on the text drawn. We are using ATSUDrawText API to draw.
Please suggest how to do outline style using ATSU.

Thank you
