# TTF\_RenderText\_Blended\_Wrapped(3)

Render word-wrapped UTF-8 text at high quality to a new ARGB surface.

## NAME

TTF\_RenderText\_Blended\_Wrapped - Render word-wrapped UTF-8 text at high quality to a new ARGB surface.

## HEADER FILE

Defined in SDL3\_ttf/SDL\_ttf.h

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"
```

**SDL\_Surface \* TTF\_RenderText\_Blended\_Wrapped(TTF\_Font \*font, const char \*text, size\_t length, SDL\_Color fg, int wrap\_width);**

## DESCRIPTION

This function will allocate a new 32-bit, ARGB surface, using alpha blending to dither the font with the given color. This function returns the new surface, or NULL if there was an error.

Text is wrapped to multiple lines on line endings and on word boundaries if it extends beyond **wrap\_width** in pixels.

If wrap\_width is 0, this function will only wrap on newline characters.

You can render at other quality levels with

**TTF\_RenderText\_Solid\_Wrapped** ,

**TTF\_RenderText\_Shaded\_Wrapped** , and

**TTF\_RenderText\_LCD\_Wrapped** .

## FUNCTION PARAMETERS

- *font*

  the font to render with.

- *text*

  text to render, in UTF-8 encoding.

- *length*

  the length of the text, in bytes, or 0 for null terminated text.

- *fg*

  the foreground color for the text.

- *wrap\_width*

  the maximum width of the text surface or 0 to wrap on newline characters.

## RETURN VALUE

Returns a new 32-bit, ARGB surface, or NULL if there was an error.

## THREAD SAFETY

This function should be called on the thread that created the font.

## AVAILABILITY

This function is available since SDL\_ttf 3.0.0.
