Constant Field Values

FLAG_HAS_POSITION_ADJUSTMENTS

public static final int FLAG_HAS_POSITION_ADJUSTMENTS

A flag used with getLayoutFlags that indicates that this GlyphVector has position adjustments. When this is true, the glyph positions don't match the accumulated default advances of the glyphs (for example, if kerning has been done).

Constant Field Values

FLAG_RUN_RTL

public static final int FLAG_RUN_RTL

A flag used with getLayoutFlags that indicates that this GlyphVector has a right-to-left run direction. This refers to the glyph-to-char mapping and does not imply that the visual locations of the glyphs are necessarily in this order, although generally they will be.

Since:

1.4

Constant Field Values

FLAG_COMPLEX_GLYPHS

public static final int FLAG_COMPLEX_GLYPHS

A flag used with getLayoutFlags that indicates that this GlyphVector has a complex glyph-to-char mapping (one that does not map glyphs to chars one-to-one in strictly ascending or descending order matching the run direction).

Since:

1.4

FontRenderContext, Font

performDefaultLayout

public abstract void performDefaultLayout()

Assigns default positions to each glyph in this GlyphVector. This can destroy information generated during initial layout of this GlyphVector.

getNumGlyphs

public abstract int getNumGlyphs()

Returns the number of glyphs in this GlyphVector.

Returns:

number of glyphs in this GlyphVector.

getGlyphCode

public abstract int getGlyphCode(int glyphIndex)

Returns the glyphcode of the specified glyph. This return value is meaningless to anything other than the Font object that created this GlyphVector.

Parameters:

glyphIndex - the index into this GlyphVector that corresponds to the glyph from which to retrieve the glyphcode.

Returns:

the glyphcode of the glyph at the specified glyphIndex.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if glyphIndex is less than 0 or greater than or equal to the number of glyphs in this GlyphVector

getGlyphCodes

public abstract int[] getGlyphCodes(int beginGlyphIndex,
                                    int numEntries,
                                    int[] codeReturn)

Returns an array of glyphcodes for the specified glyphs. The contents of this return value are meaningless to anything other than the Font used to create this GlyphVector. This method is used for convenience and performance when processing glyphcodes. If no array is passed in, a new array is created.

Parameters:

beginGlyphIndex - the index into this GlyphVector at which to start retrieving glyphcodes

numEntries - the number of glyphcodes to retrieve

codeReturn - the array that receives the glyphcodes and is then returned

Returns:

an array of glyphcodes for the specified glyphs.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if numEntries is less than 0

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if beginGlyphIndex is less than 0

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the sum of beginGlyphIndex and numEntries is greater than the number of glyphs in this GlyphVector

getGlyphCharIndex

public int getGlyphCharIndex(int glyphIndex)

Returns the character index of the specified glyph. The character index is the index of the first logical character represented by the glyph. The default implementation assumes a one-to-one, left-to-right mapping of glyphs to characters.

Parameters:

glyphIndex - the index of the glyph

Returns:

the index of the first character represented by the glyph

Since:

1.4

getGlyphCharIndices

public int[] getGlyphCharIndices(int beginGlyphIndex,
                                 int numEntries,
                                 int[] codeReturn)

Returns the character indices of the specified glyphs. The character index is the index of the first logical character represented by the glyph. Indices are returned in glyph order. The default implementation invokes getGlyphCharIndex for each glyph, and subclassers will probably want to override this implementation for performance reasons. Use this method for convenience and performance in processing of glyphcodes. If no array is passed in, a new array is created.

Parameters:

beginGlyphIndex - the index of the first glyph

numEntries - the number of glyph indices

codeReturn - the array into which to return the character indices

Returns:

an array of character indices, one per glyph.

Since:

1.4

getLogicalBounds

Returns:

a Rectangle2D that is the logical bounds of this GlyphVector.

getVisualBounds

public abstract Rectangle2D getVisualBounds()

Returns the visual bounds of this GlyphVector The visual bounds is the bounding box of the outline of this GlyphVector. Because of rasterization and alignment of pixels, it is possible that this box does not enclose all pixels affected by rendering this GlyphVector.

Returns:

a Rectangle2D that is the bounding box of this GlyphVector.

getPixelBounds

public Rectangle getPixelBounds(FontRenderContext renderFRC,
                                float x,
                                float y)

Returns the pixel bounds of this GlyphVector when rendered in a graphics with the given FontRenderContext at the given location. The renderFRC need not be the same as the FontRenderContext of this GlyphVector, and can be null. If it is null, the FontRenderContext of this GlyphVector is used. The default implementation returns the visual bounds, offset to x, y and rounded out to the next integer value (i.e. returns an integer rectangle which encloses the visual bounds) and ignores the FRC. Subclassers should override this method.

Parameters:

renderFRC - the FontRenderContext of the Graphics.

A null argument for newTX indicates that no special transform is applied for the specified glyph. This method can be used to rotate, mirror, translate and scale the glyph. Adding a transform can result in significant performance changes.

Parameters:

glyphIndex - the index into this GlyphVector

newTX - the new transform of the glyph at glyphIndex

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if glyphIndex is less than 0 or greater than or equal to the number of glyphs in this GlyphVector

getGlyphPositions

public abstract float[] getGlyphPositions(int beginGlyphIndex,
                                          int numEntries,
                                          float[] positionReturn)

Returns an array of glyph positions for the specified glyphs. This method is used for convenience and performance when processing glyph positions. If no array is passed in, a new array is created. Even numbered array entries beginning with position zero are the X coordinates of the glyph numbered beginGlyphIndex + position/2. Odd numbered array entries beginning with position one are the Y coordinates of the glyph numbered beginGlyphIndex + (position-1)/2. If beginGlyphIndex equals the number of glyphs in this GlyphVector, this method gets the position after the last glyph and this position is used to define the advance of the entire GlyphVector.

Parameters:

beginGlyphIndex - the index at which to begin retrieving glyph positions

numEntries - the number of glyphs to retrieve

positionReturn - the array that receives the glyph positions and is then returned.

Returns:

an array of glyph positions specified by beginGlyphIndex and numEntries.

IllegalArgumentException - if numEntries is less than 0

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if beginGlyphIndex is less than 0

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the sum of beginGlyphIndex and numEntries is greater than the number of glyphs in this GlyphVector plus one

getGlyphLogicalBounds

public abstract Shape getGlyphLogicalBounds(int glyphIndex)

Returns the logical bounds of the specified glyph within this GlyphVector. These logical bounds have a total of four edges, with two edges parallel to the baseline under the glyph's transform and the other two edges are shared with adjacent glyphs if they are present. This method is useful for hit-testing of the specified glyph, positioning of a caret at the leading or trailing edge of a glyph, and for drawing a highlight region around the specified glyph.

Parameters:

glyphIndex - the index into this GlyphVector that corresponds to the glyph from which to retrieve its logical bounds

Returns:

a Shape that is the logical bounds of the glyph at the specified glyphIndex.
