I have a function that draws a text on a canvas with drawTextOnPath
. I calculated offset everything works fine, but I want to draw it in a particular way. Currently texts rotation offset is equal to circles offset. I want to rotate the text by 90/45 degrees. But I can not figure out how.
Please any ideas.
private void drawLegend(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.save(Canvas.MATRIX_SAVE_FLAG);
canvas.rotate(-228, centerX, centerY);
Path circle = new Path();
double halfCircumference = (radius * 2 * Math.PI) - ((radius * 2 * Math.PI) / 8) * 2;
double increments = 5;
for (int i = 0; i <= this.mMaxSpeed; i += increments) {
circle.addCircle(centerX, centerY, radius, Path.Direction.CW);
canvas.drawTextOnPath(String.format("%d", i),
circle,
(float) (i * halfCircumference / this.mMaxSpeed),
-20f,
scalePaint);
}
canvas.restore();
}
The solution was not to draw using drawTextOnPath
but to draw on a canvas using drawText
canvas.drawText(String.valueOf(0), (x - width / 2) + 35, (y + height / 2) - 25, scalePaint);
canvas.drawText(String.valueOf(5), (x - width / 2) - 20, (y) + 8, scalePaint);
canvas.drawText(String.valueOf(10), (x - width / 2) + 30, (y - height / 2) + 40, scalePaint);
canvas.drawText(String.valueOf(15), (x), (y - height / 2) - 18, scalePaint);
canvas.drawText(String.valueOf(20), (x + width / 2) - 30, (y - height / 2) + 40, scalePaint);
canvas.drawText(String.valueOf(25), (x + width / 2) + 25, (y) + 8, scalePaint);
canvas.drawText(String.valueOf(30), (x + width / 2) - 35, (y + height / 2) - 25, scalePaint);
UPDATE after 7 months
The secret was to use sin
and cos
functions to calculate offset by x
and by y
.
double theta = (7 * PI / 4) - (i * (2 * PI / 40));
double xPos = radiusScale * 1.2 * Math.sin(theta) + centerX - widthText / 2;
double yPos = radiusScale * 1.2 * Math.cos(theta) + centerY + heightText / 2;
canvas.drawText(textNotch, (float)xPos, (float)yPos, scalePaint);
