Method Detail
getNumDesignAxes
int getNumDesignAxes()
Returns the number of multiple master design controls. Design axes include things like width, weight and optical scaling.- Returns:
- the number of multiple master design controls
getDesignAxisRanges
float[] getDesignAxisRanges()
Returns an array of design limits interleaved in the form [from→to] for each axis. For example, design limits for weight could be from 0.1 to 1.0. The values are returned in the same order returned bygetDesignAxisNames.- Returns:
- an array of design limits for each axis.
getDesignAxisDefaults
float[] getDesignAxisDefaults()
Returns an array of default design values for each axis. For example, the default value for weight could be 1.6. The values are returned in the same order returned bygetDesignAxisNames.- Returns:
- an array of default design values for each axis.
getDesignAxisNames
String[] getDesignAxisNames()
Returns the name for each design axis. This also determines the order in which the values for each axis are returned.- Returns:
- an array containing the names of each design axis.
deriveMMFont
Font deriveMMFont(float[] axes)
Creates a new instance of a multiple master font based on the design axis values contained in the specified array. The size of the array must correspond to the value returned fromgetNumDesignAxesand the values of the array elements must fall within limits specified bygetDesignAxesLimits. In case of an error,nullis returned.- Parameters:
-
axes- an array containing axis values - Returns:
-
a
Fontobject that is an instance ofMultipleMasterand is based on the design axis values provided byaxes.
deriveMMFont
Font deriveMMFont(float[] glyphWidths, float avgStemWidth, float typicalCapHeight, float typicalXHeight, float italicAngle)
Creates a new instance of a multiple master font based on detailed metric information. In case of an error,nullis returned.- Parameters:
-
glyphWidths- an array of floats representing the desired width of each glyph in font space -
avgStemWidth- the average stem width for the overall font in font space -
typicalCapHeight- the height of a typical upper case char -
typicalXHeight- the height of a typical lower case char -
italicAngle- the angle at which the italics lean, in degrees counterclockwise from vertical - Returns:
-
a
Fontobject that is an instance ofMultipleMasterand is based on the specified metric information.
