Extended character attributes
TX Text Control supports extended character attributes such as subscript, superscript, text effects, character spacing, and scaling.
SVG graphics support
Use vector graphics in your professional documents and export them to Adobe PDF. In many cases, documents such as invoices or quotes are no longer printed, but shared as PDF documents. Embedded images such as logos, charts, or other scalable images must be perfectly embedded in those documents.
TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms 30.0 supports the direct insertion of SVG images into documents. These vector graphics can be fully scaled and handled like any other image format in TX Text Control.
When exporting documents to PDF including SVG images, those high-resolution, scalable images are exported as PDF vector images.
Extended character attributes
Stretch and scale text and spacing of your text. TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms 30.0 supports extended character attributes such as subscript, superscript, text effects, character spacing, and scaling. The font and formatting style dialog boxes have been extended to reflect these new text formatting features.
- Change the spacing between characters.
- Stretch and scale text horizontally.
- Automatic subscript and superscript.
When using automatic sub- and superscript, the font is scaled and moved above or below the baseline with values defined through the used font. Some fonts do not explicitly define these values. In these cases, TX Text Control uses a scaling of 50% and moving of 40% above and 15% below the baseline.
Text frame styles
Set the text frame border color and style. TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms 30.0 allows you to specify the border color, background color and opacity, and the border style including single and doubled borders.
The dialog boxes and the ribbon group received new visual elements to specify these new settings of text frames. The following settings of text frames are now available:
- Background color.
- Transparency.
- Frame line width, color, and style.
- Internal margins.
