%
% Draws a string of text 'tstring' into Psychtoolbox window 'win'. Allows
% some basic formatting. The text string 'tstring' may contain newline
% characters '\n'. Whenever a newline character '\n' is encountered, a
% linefeed and carriage return is performed, breaking the text string into
% lines. 'sx' defines the left border of the text: If it is left out, text
% starts at x-position zero, otherwise it starts at the specified position
% 'sx'. If sx=='center', then each line of text is horizontally centered in
% the window. If sx=='right', then each line of text is right justified to
% the right border of the target window, or of 'winRect' if provided. 'sy'
% defines the top border of the text. If left out, it starts at the top of
% the window, otherwise it starts at the specified vertical pixel position.
% If sy=='center', then the whole text is vertically centered in the
% window. 'color' is the color value of the text (color index or [r g b]
% triplet or [r g b a] quadruple). If color is left out, the current text
% color from previous text drawing commands is used. 'wrapat', if provided,
% will automatically break text strings longer than 'wrapat' characters
% into newline separated strings of roughly 'wrapat' characters. This is
% done by calling the WrapString function (See 'help WrapString'). 'wrapat'
% mode may not work reliably with non-ASCII text strings, e.g., UTF-8
% encoded uint8 strings on all systems.
%
% The optional flag 'flipHorizontal' if set to 1 will mirror the text
% horizontally, whereas the optional flag 'flipVertical' if set to 1 will
% mirror the text vertically (upside down).
%
% The optional argument 'vSpacing' sets the spacing between the lines. Default
% value is 1.
%
% The optional argument 'righttoleft' if set to 1, will ask to draw the
% text string in right-to-left reading direction, e.g., for scripts which
% read right to left
%
% The optional argument 'winRect' allows to specify a [left top right bottom]
% rectange, in which the text should be centered/placed etc. By default,
% the rectangle of the whole 'win'dow is used.
%
% The function employs clipping by default. Text lines that are detected as
% lying completely outside the 'win'dow or optional 'winRect' will not be
% drawn, but clipped away. This allows to draw multi-page text (multiple
% screen heights) without too much loss of drawing speed. If you find the
% clipping to interfere with text layout of exotic texts/fonts at exotic
% sizes and formatting, you can define the global variable...
%
% global ptb_drawformattedtext_disableClipping;
% ... and set it like this ...
% ptb_drawformattedtext_disableClipping = 1;
% ... to disable the clipping.
%
% Clipping also gets disabled if you request the optional 3rd return
% parameter 'textbounds' to ensure correct computation of a bounding box
% that covers the complete text. You can enforce clipping by setting
% ptb_drawformattedtext_disableClipping = -1; however, computed bounding
% boxes will then only describe the currently visible (non-clipped) text.
%
%
% The function returns the new (nx, ny) position of the text drawing cursor
% and the bounding rectangle 'textbounds' of the drawn string. (nx,ny) can
% be used as new start position for connecting further text strings to the
% bottom of the drawn text string. Calculation of these bounds is
% approximative, so it may give wrong results with some text fonts and
% styles on some operating systems.
%
% See DrawFormattedTextDemo for a usage example.

% History:
% 10/17/06  Written (MK).
% 11/01/06  Add support for correct handling of 3D rendering mode (MK).
% 11/22/06  More 3D handling: Save/restore backface cull state (MK).
% 05/14/07  Return a more meaningful end cursor position (printf - semantics) (MK)
% 01/31/09  Add optional vSpacing parameter (Alex Leykin).
% 09/20/09  Add some char() casts, so Octave can handle Unicode encoded text strings as well.
% 01/10/10  Add support for 'righttoleft' flag and for uint8 tstring types (MK).
% 10/28/10  Add crude text clipping/culling, so multi-page text doesn't bog
%           us down completely. Text clearly outside the 'win'dow gets
%           preculled. (MK).
% 02/07/12  Add re-cast operation to output string to make sure the actual
%           string fed into Screen() is of the same datatype as the
%           original input string, e.g., to prevent losing a double()
%           unicode encoding during string processing/formatting. (MK)
% 06/17/13  Add sx == 'right' option for right-alignment of text. (MK)
