#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This script allows the addon of outlines to your text.
#==============================================================================
class Bitmap
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Draw Text Border
  #     x        : draw spot x-coordinate
  #     y        : draw spot y-coordinate
  #     width    : draw width
  #     height   : draw height
  #     text     : draw text
  #     allign   : draw allignment
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def draw_text_border(x,y,width,height,text,align=0)
    store_color = Color.new(self.font.color.red,self.font.color.green,self.font.color.blue,self.font.color.alpha)
   #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
   #  The line: self.font.color = Color.new(0,0,0,self.font.color.alpha)
   #  defines the border colour e.g 0,0,0 being black, 255,255,255 being
   #  white etc
   #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    self.font.color = Color.new(0,0,0,self.font.color.alpha)
    draw_text(x-1,y-1,width,height,text,align)
    draw_text(x-1,y+1,width,height,text,align)
    draw_text(x+1,y-1,width,height,text,align)
    draw_text(x+1,y+1,width,height,text,align)
    self.font.color = store_color
    draw_text(x,y,width,height,text,align)
  end
end
