Flutter 的 TextBaseline 枚举中的字母和表意有什么区别

Question

The TextBaseline enum in Flutter has two options:

• alphabetic
• ideographic

How do these values actually change the baseline?

Answer 1

TextBaseline.alphabetic

The alphabetic baseline is the line that the letters in alphabets like English sit on. Here is an example:

You can see that the English letters sit nicely on the line, but it cuts through the Chinese characters.

TextBaseline.ideographic

When you use the ideographic option, though, the baseline is at the bottom of the text area. Note that the Chinese characters don't actually sit right on the line. Rather, the line is at the very bottom of the text line.

Supplemental code

You can plug this into a CustomPaint widget (as described here ) to reproduce the above examples.

@override
void paint(Canvas canvas, Size size) {
  final textStyle = TextStyle(
    color: Colors.black,
    fontSize: 30,
  );
  final textSpan = TextSpan(
    text: 'My text 文字',
    style: textStyle,
  );
  final textPainter = TextPainter(
    text: textSpan,
    textDirection: TextDirection.ltr,
  );
  textPainter.layout(
    minWidth: 0,
    maxWidth: size.width,
  );

  print('width: ${textPainter.width}');
  print('height: ${textPainter.height}');

  // draw a rectangle around the text
  final left = 0.0;
  final top = 0.0;
  final right = textPainter.width;
  final bottom = textPainter.height;
  final rect = Rect.fromLTRB(left, top, right, bottom);
  final paint = Paint()
    ..color = Colors.red
    ..style = PaintingStyle.stroke
    ..strokeWidth = 1;
  canvas.drawRect(rect, paint);

  // draw the baseline
  final distanceToBaseline =
      textPainter.computeDistanceToActualBaseline(TextBaseline.ideographic);
  print('distanceToBaseline: ${distanceToBaseline}');
  canvas.drawLine(
    Offset(0, distanceToBaseline),
    Offset(textPainter.width, distanceToBaseline),
    paint,
  );

  // draw the text
  final offset = Offset(0, 0);
  textPainter.paint(canvas, offset);
}
