STB TrueType Bee Movie

This is an example which uses stb_truetype to render the entire Bee Movie script into a file. The Bee Movie script has been extracted from here.

It is based on an example from stb itself, but converted to C++ and upgraded to output the Bee Movie script.

Build

xmake is used to build the example, but since it is so small you can put it into whatever build system you want. Just make sure to add stb_truetype to the include directories. Everything else is default C++11.

Usage

There are some command line arguments. All of them are optional.

bee_movie [font_size] [font_file] [input_string] [output_file]

• font_size
  • Controls the size of the text in pixels (default is 25)
• font_file
  • The TTF or OTF file to load (default is /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf)
• input_string
  • Renders this string into the output file instead of the Bee Movie script
• output_file
  • Determines to which file to write the output (default is output.txt)
