# fop-types
[](https://crates.io/crates/fop-types)

[](LICENSE)
Foundational types for the FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) Rust implementation.
This crate has no internal dependencies and is used by all other FOP crates as the
shared type foundation for lengths, colors, geometry, font metrics, and error handling.
## Installation
Add `fop-types` to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
fop-types = "0.1.1"
```
## Types
### `Length`
Dimensional measurements stored as integer millipoints (1/1000 of a typographic point)
for precision without floating-point errors.
```rust
use fop_types::Length;
fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let a = Length::from_pt(72.0); // 72 points
let b = Length::from_inch(1.0); // 1 inch = 72 points
assert_eq!(a, b);
let c = Length::from_mm(210.0); // A4 width
let d = Length::from_cm(21.0); // Same thing
assert_eq!(c, d);
// Arithmetic
let sum = a + b;
let half = a / 2;
// Convert back to physical units
println!("sum = {} pt", sum.to_pt());
println!("half = {} mm", half.to_mm());
Ok(())
}
```
### `Color`
RGBA color values with named color constants and hex parsing.
```rust
use fop_types::Color;
fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let red = Color::RED;
let custom = Color::from_hex("#FF8800")?;
let transparent = Color::new(255, 0, 0, 128);
assert_eq!(red.r(), 255);
assert_eq!(custom.g(), 0x88);
assert_eq!(transparent.a(), 128);
Ok(())
}
```
### `Point`, `Size`, `Rect`
2D geometry types using `Length` for coordinates.
```rust
use fop_types::{Length, Point, Size, Rect};
fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let origin = Point::new(Length::from_pt(10.0), Length::from_pt(20.0));
let size = Size::new(Length::from_pt(100.0), Length::from_pt(50.0));
let rect = Rect::from_point_size(origin, size);
assert!(rect.contains(Point::new(
Length::from_pt(50.0),
Length::from_pt(30.0),
)));
Ok(())
}
```
### `FontMetrics` / `FontRegistry`
Font measurement data for layout calculations. Provides character widths, ascent,
descent, and line height for built-in fonts (Helvetica, Times-Roman).
```rust
use fop_types::FontRegistry;
fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let registry = FontRegistry::with_defaults();
let helvetica = registry
.get("Helvetica")
.ok_or("font not found")?;
let width = helvetica.string_width("Hello", 12.0);
println!("\"Hello\" in 12pt Helvetica = {} pt", width.to_pt());
Ok(())
}
```
### `FopError` / `Result`
Base error type used across all FOP crates, built on `thiserror`.
```rust
use fop_types::{FopError, FopResult};
fn parse_something(input: &str) -> FopResult<i32> {
input.parse::<i32>().map_err(|e| {
FopError::Parse(format!("invalid integer: {e}"))
})
}
```
