Image font (imgfont)

Draw image in label or span obj with imgfont. This is often used to display Unicode emoji icons in text. Supported image formats: determined by LVGL image decoder.

Usage

Enable LV_USE_IMGFONT in lv_conf.h.

To create a new imgfont use lv_imgfont_create(height, path_cb).

height used to indicate the size of a imgfont. path_cb Used to get the image path of the specified unicode.

Use lv_imgfont_destroy(imgfont) to destroy a imgfont that is no longer used.

Example

Use emojis in a text.
