Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Font() [1/4]

tgui::Font::Font

(

const String &

id

)

Constructor to create the font from a string (filename by default)

Parameters

id	String to pass to the Deserializer class to load the font

Font() [2/4]

tgui::Font::Font

(

const char *

id

)

Constructor to create the font from a string (filename by default)

Parameters

id	String to pass to the Deserializer class to load the font

Font() [3/4]

tgui::Font::Font	(	const void *	data,
		std::size_t	sizeInBytes
	)

Constructor to create the font from a byte array.

Parameters

data	Pointer to the file data in memory
sizeInBytes	Size of the data to load, in bytes

Font() [4/4]

tgui::Font::Font	(	std::shared_ptr< BackendFontBase >	backendFont,
		const String &	id
	)

Constructor to create the font from an internal backend font.

Parameters

backendFont	Internal font to use
id	Id of the font (usually filename)

Member Function Documentation

getBackendFont()

std::shared_ptr< BackendFontBase > tgui::Font::getBackendFont

(

)

const

Returns the internal font.

Returns

Backend font that is used internally

getGlobalFont()

static Font tgui::Font::getGlobalFont ( )

static

Returns the global font that is used for all new widgets.

Returns

Global font

getGlyph()

FontGlyph tgui::Font::getGlyph	(	char32_t	codePoint,
		unsigned int	characterSize,
		bool	bold,
		float	outlineThickness = 0
	)		const

Retrieve a glyph of the font.

If the font is a bitmap font, not all character sizes might be available. If the glyph is not available at the requested size, an empty glyph is returned.

Parameters

codePoint	Unicode code point of the character to get
characterSize	Reference character size
bold	Retrieve the bold version or the regular one?
outlineThickness	Thickness of outline (when != 0 the glyph will not be filled)

Returns

The glyph corresponding to codePoint and characterSize

getId()

const String & tgui::Font::getId

(

)

const

Returns the id that was used to load the font.

Returns

Id of the font or an empty string when no id was passed when this object was created

getKerning()

float tgui::Font::getKerning	(	char32_t	first,
		char32_t	second,
		unsigned int	characterSize,
		bool	bold = false
	)		const

Returns the kerning offset of two glyphs.

The kerning is an extra offset (negative) to apply between two glyphs when rendering them, to make the pair look more "natural". For example, the pair "AV" have a special kerning to make them closer than other characters. Most of the glyphs pairs have a kerning offset of zero, though.

Parameters

first	Unicode code point of the first character
second	Unicode code point of the second character
characterSize	Size of the characters
bold	Are the glyphs bold or regular?

Returns

Kerning value for first and second, in pixels

getLineSpacing()

float tgui::Font::getLineSpacing

(

unsigned int

characterSize

)

const

Returns the line spacing.

Line spacing is the vertical offset to apply between two consecutive lines of text.

Parameters

characterSize

Size of the characters

Returns

Line spacing, in pixels

setGlobalFont()

static void tgui::Font::setGlobalFont ( const Font &  font )

static

Changes the global font that is used for all new widgets.

Parameters

font	New global font
