public class FontRenderContext extends Object
TheFontRenderContext
class is a container for the information needed to correctly measure text. The measurement of text can vary because of rules that map outlines to pixels, and rendering hints provided by an application.One such piece of information is a transform that scales typographical points to pixels. (A point is defined to be exactly 1/72 of an inch, which is slightly different than the traditional mechanical measurement of a point.) A character that is rendered at 12pt on a 600dpi device might have a different size than the same character rendered at 12pt on a 72dpi device because of such factors as rounding to pixel boundaries and hints that the font designer may have specified.
Anti-aliasing and Fractional-metrics specified by an application can also affect the size of a character because of rounding to pixel boundaries.
Typically, instances of
FontRenderContext
are obtained from aGraphics2D
object. AFontRenderContext
which is directly constructed will most likely not represent any actual graphics device, and may lead to unexpected or incorrect results.

Constructor Detail
FontRenderContext
protected FontRenderContext()
Constructs a newFontRenderContext
object.
FontRenderContext
public FontRenderContext(AffineTransform tx, boolean isAntiAliased, boolean usesFractionalMetrics)
Constructs aFontRenderContext
object from an optionalAffineTransform
and twoboolean
values that determine if the newly constructed object has anti-aliasing or fractional metrics. In each case the boolean valuestrue
andfalse
correspond to the rendering hint valuesON
andOFF
respectively.To specify other hint values, use the constructor which specifies the rendering hint values as parameters :
FontRenderContext(AffineTransform, Object, Object)
.- Parameters:
tx
- the transform which is used to scale typographical points to pixels in thisFontRenderContext
. If null, an identity transform is used.isAntiAliased
- determines if the newly constructed object has anti-aliasing.usesFractionalMetrics
- determines if the newly constructed object has fractional metrics.
FontRenderContext
public FontRenderContext(AffineTransform tx, Object aaHint, Object fmHint)
Constructs aFontRenderContext
object from an optionalAffineTransform
and twoObject
values that determine if the newly constructed object has anti-aliasing or fractional metrics.- Parameters:
tx
- the transform which is used to scale typographical points to pixels in thisFontRenderContext
. If null, an identity transform is used.aaHint
- - one of the text antialiasing rendering hint values defined injava.awt.RenderingHints
. Any other value will throwIllegalArgumentException
.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT
may be specified, in which case the mode used is implementation dependent.fmHint
- - one of the text fractional rendering hint values defined injava.awt.RenderingHints
.VALUE_FRACTIONALMETRICS_DEFAULT
may be specified, in which case the mode used is implementation dependent. Any other value will throwIllegalArgumentException
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the hints are not one of the legal values.- Since:
- 1.6
