Who It's For?

This library is mainly for use in my mods, to streamline creating ui/gui interfaces.
However anyone can use this mod as a dependency to use its features.

Why Use It?

Currently the mod does the following;
A new set of drawStrings(), which adds easily accessed custom fonts, aswell as wordwrapping to custom bounding boxes, and setting the alignment to left/center/right.

How Use It?

Imports

import net.spidrone.uiapi.UIAnimationManager;  
import net.spidrone.uiapi.UIGraphicsHelper;  

Animated Graphics

UIAnimationManager.drawGif(GuiGraphics graphics, String imagePath, int x, int y, int frameWidth, int frameHeight, int totalFrames, int fps, float scaleX, float scaleY, float red, float green, float blue)

Custom drawString()

UIGraphicsHelper.drawCustomFont(GuiGraphics graphics, ResourceLocation fontLocation, String message, int x, int y, int color, boolean dropShadow, TextAlign align)

Custom drawString() with bounding boxes/autowrap/line splitting

UIGraphicsHelper.drawCustomFontBound(GuiGraphics graphics, ResourceLocation fontLocation, String message, char splitChar, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, int color, boolean dropShadow, TextAlign align)

not including something like the fontLocation will cause it to use the default font
align : LEFT/CENTER/RIGHT

splitChar "$" will cause hi$world to appear on your ui as

hi
world

Registering Fonts

Register your fonts ttf by placing them in your assets folder
assets/modid/font
in the same folder include a .json file

{
  "providers": [
    {
      "type": "ttf",
      "file": "spis_ui_api:boldpixels.ttf",
      "shift": [0.0, 0.0],
      "size": 16.0,
      "oversample": 2.0
    }
  ]
}

Declare the fonts resource location in your ui

public static final ResourceLocation BOLD_PIXELS_FONT = ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath("spis_ui_api", "boldpixels");
