Draw_text_skewed - hpgDesigns/hpgdesigns-dev.io GitHub Wiki

Description

Draws the given string with top left corner placed at the given position using the drawing color and alpha.

A # symbol or carriage return chr(13) or linefeed chr(10) are interpreted as newline characters. Note that EDL string settings can allow you to use the \n escape sequence in place of the # symbol.

To change the text alignment you can use draw_set_valign and draw_set_halign functions.
