TextBox for embedded-graphics

This crate provides a configurable TextBox to render multiline text inside a bounding Rectangle using [embedded-graphics].

TextBox supports the common text alignments: - LeftAligned - RightAligned - CenterAligned - Justified

Example

The examples are based on [the embedded-graphics simulator]. The simulator is built on top of SDL2. See the [simulator README] for more information.

```rust use embeddedgraphicssimulator::{ BinaryColorTheme, OutputSettingsBuilder, SimulatorDisplay, Window, };

use embedded_graphics::{fonts::Font6x8, pixelcolor::BinaryColor, prelude::*};

use embedded_text::{alignment::CenterAligned, prelude::*};

fn main() -> Result<(), core::convert::Infallible> { let text = "Hello, World!\nLorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.";

let textbox_style = TextBoxStyleBuilder::new(Font6x8)
    .alignment(CenterAligned)
    .text_color(BinaryColor::On)
    .build();

let height = textbox_style.measure_text_height(text, 129);

// Create a window just tall enough to fit the text.
let mut display: SimulatorDisplay<BinaryColor> = SimulatorDisplay::new(Size::new(129, height));

TextBox::new(
    text,
    Rectangle::new(Point::zero(), Point::new(128, height as i32 - 1)),
)
.into_styled(textbox_style)
.draw(&mut display)
.unwrap();

let output_settings = OutputSettingsBuilder::new()
    .theme(BinaryColorTheme::OledBlue)
    .build();
Window::new("Hello center aligned TextBox", &output_settings).show_static(&display);
Ok(())

} ```
