Detailed Description

A texture containing characters.

This class is purely virtual. It needs to be implemented and created by the corresponding gui::renderer.

Definition at line 22 of file gui_font.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

font()

lxgui::gui::font::font ( )

default

Constructor.

~font()

virtual lxgui::gui::font::~font ( )

virtualdefault

Destructor.

Reimplemented in lxgui::gui::gl::font.

Member Function Documentation

get_character_bounds()

virtual bounds2f lxgui::gui::font::get_character_bounds ( char32_t  c ) const

pure virtual

Returns the rect coordinates of a character as it should be drawn relative to the baseline.

Parameters

c	The unicode character

Returns

The rect coordinates of this character (in pixels, relative to the baseline)

Implemented in lxgui::gui::sfml::font, lxgui::gui::sdl::font, and lxgui::gui::gl::font.

get_character_height()

virtual float lxgui::gui::font::get_character_height ( char32_t  c ) const

pure virtual

Returns the height of a character in pixels.

Parameters

c	The unicode character

Returns

The height of the character in pixels.

Implemented in lxgui::gui::sfml::font, lxgui::gui::sdl::font, and lxgui::gui::gl::font.

get_character_kerning()

virtual float lxgui::gui::font::get_character_kerning ( char32_t  c1, char32_t  c2  ) const

pure virtual

Return the kerning amount between two characters.

Parameters

c1	The first unicode character
c2	The second unicode character

Returns

The kerning amount between the two characters

Note

Kerning is a font rendering adjustment that makes some letters closer, for example in 'VA', there is room for the two to be closer than with 'VW'. This has no effect for fixed width fonts (like Courrier, etc).

Implemented in lxgui::gui::sfml::font, lxgui::gui::sdl::font, and lxgui::gui::gl::font.

get_character_uvs()

virtual bounds2f lxgui::gui::font::get_character_uvs ( char32_t  c ) const

pure virtual

Returns the uv coordinates of a character on the texture.

Parameters

c	The unicode character

Returns

The uv coordinates of this character on the texture

Note

The uv coordinates are normalized, i.e. they range from 0 to 1. They are arranged as {u1, v1, u2, v2}.

Implemented in lxgui::gui::sfml::font, lxgui::gui::sdl::font, and lxgui::gui::gl::font.

get_character_width()

virtual float lxgui::gui::font::get_character_width ( char32_t  c ) const

pure virtual

Returns the width of a character in pixels.

Parameters

c	The unicode character

Returns

The width of the character in pixels.

Implemented in lxgui::gui::sfml::font, lxgui::gui::sdl::font, and lxgui::gui::gl::font.

get_size()

virtual std::size_t lxgui::gui::font::get_size ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the size of the font in pixels.

Returns

The size of the font in pixels

Implemented in lxgui::gui::sfml::font, lxgui::gui::sdl::font, and lxgui::gui::gl::font.

get_texture()

virtual std::weak_ptr<material> lxgui::gui::font::get_texture ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the underlying material to use for rendering.

Returns

The underlying material to use for rendering

Implemented in lxgui::gui::sfml::font, lxgui::gui::sdl::font, and lxgui::gui::gl::font.

update_texture()

virtual void lxgui::gui::font::update_texture ( std::shared_ptr< material >  mat )

pure virtual

Update the material to use for rendering.

Parameters

mat	The material to use for rendering

Implemented in lxgui::gui::sfml::font, lxgui::gui::sdl::font, and lxgui::gui::gl::font.
