5.1. Color Functions

These functions can be used for filling the layer with color:

layers = [Layer(color=mycolor)]

[mycolor]
type=solid
color = (0,0,0)

Each color function has it’s own parameters.

5.1.1. Solid color

class fonteffects.Solid(*k, **kw)

Creates solid fill with a single color

Parameters:color – A color as (r,g,b) [0,255]

5.1.2. Gradient color

class fonteffects.Gradient(*k, **kw)

Creates a gradient between two or more colors.

Parameters:

• colors – A list of colors (3 tuples) to interpolate between. [bottom color, ..., top color]
• angle – The angle of rotation (in degrees)

5.1.3. Texture fill

class fonteffects.Texture(*k, **kw)

Applies a texture as a color function

Parameters:

• options – The command line options
• name – The texture name relative to options.datadir.

5.1.4. Stripes

class fonteffects.Stripes(*k, **kw)

Creates stripes with alternating colors

Parameters:

• width – The width of the stripes
• offset – The start offset of the stripes
• angle – The angle of rotation (in degrees)
• colors – The alternating colors of the stripes. May be more than 2

5.1.5. DistanceField

class fonteffects.DistanceField(*k, **kw)

Calculates a distance field for each glyph
