Struct kiss2d::Font

source ·

pub struct Font<'a> { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

A single font. This may or may not own the font data.

Lifetime

The lifetime reflects the font data lifetime. Font<'static> covers most cases ie both dynamically loaded owned data and for referenced compile time font data.

Example

let font_data: &[u8] = include_bytes!("../dev/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf");
let font: Font<'static> = Font::from_bytes(font_data)?;

let owned_font_data: Vec<u8> = font_data.to_vec();
let from_owned_font: Font<'static> = Font::from_bytes(owned_font_data)?;

Implementations

source

impl<'a> Font<'a>

source

pub fn from_bytes(bytes: B) -> Result<Font<'a>, Error>where
B: Into<SharedBytes<'a>>,

Constructs a font from an array of bytes, this is a shortcut for FontCollection::from_bytes for collections comprised of a single font.

source

pub fn v_metrics(&self, scale: Scale) -> VMetrics

The “vertical metrics” for this font at a given scale. These metrics are shared by all of the glyphs in the font. See VMetrics for more detail.

source

pub fn v_metrics_unscaled(&self) -> VMetrics

Get the unscaled VMetrics for this font, shared by all glyphs. See VMetrics for more detail.

source

pub fn units_per_em(&self) -> u16

Returns the units per EM square of this font

source

pub fn glyph_count(&self) -> usize

The number of glyphs present in this font. Glyph identifiers for this font will always be in the range 0..self.glyph_count()

source

pub fn glyph<C>(&self, id: C) -> Glyph<'a>where
C: IntoGlyphId,

Returns the corresponding glyph for a Unicode code point or a glyph id for this font.

If id is a GlyphId, it must be valid for this font; otherwise, this function panics. GlyphIds should always be produced by looking up some other sort of designator (like a Unicode code point) in a font, and should only be used to index the font they were produced for.

Note that code points without corresponding glyphs in this font map to the “.notdef” glyph, glyph 0.

source

pub fn glyphs_for(&self, itr: I) -> GlyphIter<'a, '_, I>where
I: Iterator,
::Item: IntoGlyphId,

A convenience function.

Returns an iterator that produces the glyphs corresponding to the code points or glyph ids produced by the given iterator itr.

This is equivalent in behaviour to itr.map(|c| font.glyph(c)).

source

pub fn font_name_strings(&self) -> FontNameIter<'_, SharedBytes<'a>>

Returns an iterator over the names for this font.

source

pub fn layout<'b>(
 &'b self,
 s: &'b str,
 scale: Scale,
 start: Point<f32>
) -> LayoutIter<'a, 'b>

A convenience function for laying out glyphs for a string horizontally. It does not take control characters like line breaks into account, as treatment of these is likely to depend on the application.

Note that this function does not perform Unicode normalisation. Composite characters (such as ö constructed from two code points, ¨ and o), will not be normalised to single code points. So if a font does not contain a glyph for each separate code point, but does contain one for the normalised single code point (which is common), the desired glyph will not be produced, despite being present in the font. Deal with this by performing Unicode normalisation on the input string before passing it to layout. The crate unicode-normalization is perfect for this purpose.

Calling this function is equivalent to a longer sequence of operations involving glyphs_for, e.g.

font.layout("Hello World!", scale, start)

produces an iterator with behaviour equivalent to the following:

font.glyphs_for("Hello World!".chars())
    .scan((None, 0.0), |&mut (mut last, mut x), g| {
        let g = g.scaled(scale);
        if let Some(last) = last {
            x += font.pair_kerning(scale, last, g.id());
        }
        let w = g.h_metrics().advance_width;
        let next = g.positioned(start + vector(x, 0.0));
        last = Some(next.id());
        x += w;
        Some(next)
    })
