Text Attributes class.
 
This class is used (in general by secondary inheritance)
by many other classes (graphics, histograms). It holds all the text attributes.
 
## Text attributes
Text attributes are:
 
  - [Text Alignment](\ref ATTTEXT1)
  - [Text Angle](\ref ATTTEXT2)
  - [Text Color](\ref ATTTEXT3)
  - [Text Size](\ref ATTTEXT4)
  - [Text Font and Precision](\ref ATTTEXT5)
     - [Font quality and speed](\ref ATTTEXT51)
     - [How to use True Type Fonts](\ref ATTTEXT52)
     - [List of the currently supported fonts](\ref ATTTEXT53)
 
\anchor ATTTEXT1
## Text Alignment
 
The text alignment is an integer number (`align`) allowing to control
the horizontal and vertical position of the text string with respect
to the text position.
The text alignment of any class inheriting from `TAttText` can
be changed using the method `SetTextAlign` and retrieved using the
method `GetTextAlign`.
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   align = 10*HorizontalAlign + VerticalAlign
~~~
 
For horizontal alignment the following convention applies:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   1=left adjusted, 2=centered, 3=right adjusted
~~~
 
For vertical alignment the following convention applies:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   1=bottom adjusted, 2=centered, 3=top adjusted
~~~
 
For example:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   align = 11 = left adjusted and bottom adjusted
   align = 32 = right adjusted and vertically centered
~~~
 
Begin_Macro(source)
textalign.C
End_Macro
 
Mnemonic constants are available:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
kHAlignLeft   = 10, kHAlignCenter = 20, kHAlignRight = 30,
kVAlignBottom = 1,  kVAlignCenter = 2,  kVAlignTop   = 3
~~~
 
They allow to write:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
object->SetTextAlign(kHAlignLeft+kVAlignTop);
~~~
 
\anchor ATTTEXT2
## Text Angle
 
Text angle in degrees.
The text angle of any class inheriting from `TAttText` can
be changed using the method `SetTextAngle` and retrieved using the
method `GetTextAngle`.
The following picture shows the text angle:
 
Begin_Macro(source)
textangle.C
End_Macro
 
\anchor ATTTEXT3
## Text Color
 
The text color is a color index (integer) pointing in the ROOT
color table.
The text color of any class inheriting from `TAttText` can
be changed using the method `SetTextColor` and retrieved using the
method `GetTextColor`.
The following table shows the first 50 default colors.
 
Begin_Macro
{
   TCanvas *c = new TCanvas("c","Fill Area colors",0,0,500,200);
   c->DrawColorTable();
   return c;
}
End_Macro
 
### Color transparency
`SetTextColorAlpha()`, allows to set a transparent color.
In the following example the text color of the text `text`
is set to blue with an opacity of 35% (i.e. a transparency of 65%).
(The color `kBlue` itself is internally stored as fully opaque.)
 
~~~ {.cpp}
text->SetTextColorAlpha(kBlue, 0.35);
~~~
 
The transparency is available on all platforms when the flag `OpenGL.CanvasPreferGL` is set to `1`
in `$ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc`, or on Mac with the Cocoa backend. On the file output
it is visible with PDF, PNG, Gif, JPEG, SVG, TeX ... but not PostScript.
 
Alternatively, you can call at the top of your script `gSytle->SetCanvasPreferGL();`.
Or if you prefer to activate GL for a single canvas `c`, then use `c->SetSupportGL(true);`.
 
\anchor ATTTEXT4
## Text Size
 
If the text precision (see next paragraph) is smaller than 3, the text
size (`textsize`) is a fraction of the current pad size. Therefore the
same `textsize` value can generate text outputs with different absolute
sizes in two different pads.
The text size in pixels (`charheight`) is computed the following way:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   pad_width  = gPad->XtoPixel(gPad->GetX2());
   pad_height = gPad->YtoPixel(gPad->GetY1());
   if (pad_width < pad_height)  charheight = textsize*pad_width;
   else                         charheight = textsize*pad_height;
~~~
 
If the text precision is equal to 3, the text size doesn't depend on the pad's
dimensions. A given `textsize` value always generates the same absolute
size. The text size (`charheight`) is given in pixels:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   charheight = textsize;
~~~
 
Note that to scale fonts to the same size as the old True Type package a
scale factor of `0.93376068` is apply to the text size before drawing.
 
The text size of any class inheriting from `TAttText` can
be changed using the method `SetTextSize` and retrieved using the
method `GetTextSize`.
 
\anchor ATTTEXT5
## Text Font and Precision
 
The text font code is combination of the font number and the precision.
~~~ {.cpp}
   Text font code = 10*fontnumber + precision
~~~
Font numbers must be between 1 and 14.
 
The precision can be:
 
  - `precision = 0` fast hardware fonts (steps in the size)
  - `precision = 1` scalable and rotatable hardware fonts (see below)
  - `precision = 2` scalable and rotatable hardware fonts
  - `precision = 3` scalable and rotatable hardware fonts. Text size
                           is given in pixels.
 
The text font and precision of any class inheriting from `TAttText` can
be changed using the method `SetTextFont` and retrieved using the
method `GetTextFont`.
 
\anchor ATTTEXT51
### Font quality and speed
 
When precision 0 is used, only the original non-scaled X11 system fonts are
used. The fonts have a minimum (4) and maximum (37) size in pixels. These
fonts are fast and are of good quality. Their size varies with large steps
and they cannot be rotated.
Precision 1 and 2 fonts have a different behaviour depending if the
True Type Fonts (TTF) are used or not. If TTF are used, you always get very good
quality scalable and rotatable fonts.
These days TTF fonts are rendered fast enough and can be used in all cases.
 
\anchor ATTTEXT52
### How to use True Type Fonts
 
TTF fonts are used by default. They can be deactivated via the following line
in the `.rootrc` file:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   Unix.*.Root.UseTTFonts:     false
~~~
 
\anchor ATTTEXT53
### List of the currently supported fonts
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   Font number      TTF Names                   PostScript/PDF Names
       1 :       "Free Serif Italic"         "Times-Italic"
       2 :       "Free Serif Bold"           "Times-Bold"
       3 :       "Free Serif Bold Italic"    "Times-BoldItalic"
       4 :       "Tex Gyre Regular"          "Helvetica"
       5 :       "Tex Gyre Italic"           "Helvetica-Oblique"
       6 :       "Tex Gyre Bold"             "Helvetica-Bold"
       7 :       "Tex Gyre Bold Italic"      "Helvetica-BoldOblique"
       8 :       "Free Mono"                 "Courier"
       9 :       "Free Mono Oblique"         "Courier-Oblique"
      10 :       "Free Mono Bold"            "Courier-Bold"
      11 :       "Free Mono Bold Oblique"    "Courier-BoldOblique"
      12 :       "Symbol"                    "Symbol"
      13 :       "Free Serif"                "Times-Roman"
      14 :       "Wingdings"                 "ZapfDingbats"
~~~
 
The PostScript and PDF backends use the original PostScript-defined 13 fonts' styles
forming four type families (Courier, Helvetica, Times, Symbol) as listed in the
"Core Font Set" section of [this page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript_fonts).
These fonts are always available and do not need to be loaded in the PS or PDF files
allowing to keep the files' sizes small.
 
On screen, text is rendered using free TTF fonts similar to the PDF ones. The corresponding
font files are coming with the ROOT distribution in `$ROOTSYS/fonts/Free*`.
