    • display_message

      public void display_message(int id, String msg, float x, float y, float r, float g, float b, float a, float size)
      Description copied from interface: UiAPI
      Add a new one-line message in the screen with the given id and the given coordinates. If an object already exists with the given id, it is removed. However, if a message object already exists with the same id, its properties are updated. The messages placed with this method will not appear in the screenshots/frames in advanced mode. This is intended for running interactively only.
      Specified by:
      display_message in interface UiAPI
      Parameters:
      id - A unique identifier, used to identify this message when you want to remove it.
      msg - The string message, to be displayed in one line. But explicit newline breaks the line.
      x - The x coordinate of the bottom-left corner, in [0,1] from left to right. This is not resolution-dependant.
      y - The y coordinate of the bottom-left corner, in [0,1] from bottom to top. This is not resolution-dependant.
      r - The red component of the color in [0,1].
      g - The green component of the color in [0,1].
      b - The blue component of the color in [0,1].
      a - The alpha component of the color in [0,1].
      size - The size of the font. The system will use the existing font closest to the chosen size and scale it up or down to match the desired size. Scaling can cause artifacts, so to ensure the best font quality, stick to the existing sizes.

    • display_message

      public void display_message(int id, String msg, double x, double y, double[] color, double size)
      Description copied from interface: UiAPI
      Same as UiAPI.display_image(int, String, float, float, float, float, float, float) but using an array for the color instead of giving each component separately.
      Specified by:
      display_message in interface UiAPI
      Parameters:
      id - A unique identifier, used to identify this message when you want to remove it.
      msg - The string message, to be displayed in one line. But explicit newline breaks the line.
      x - The x coordinate of the bottom-left corner, in [0,1] from left to right. This is not resolution-dependant.
      y - The y coordinate of the bottom-left corner, in [0,1] from bottom to top. This is not resolution-dependant.
      color - The color as an array of RGBA (red, green, blue, alpha) values in [0,1].
      size - The size of the font. The system will use the existing font closest to the chosen size and scale it up or down to match the desired size. Scaling can cause artifacts, so to ensure the best font quality, stick to the existing sizes.
