  org.apache.fop.render.afp.fonts.CharacterSet

public class CharacterSet

extends java.lang.Object

The IBM Font Object Content Architecture (FOCA) supports presentation of character shapes by defining their characteristics, which include font description information for identifying the characters, font metric information for positioning the characters, and character shape information for presenting the character images.

Presenting a graphic character on a presentation surface requires information on the rotation and position of character on the physical or logical page.

This class proivdes font metric information for a particular font as identified by the character set name. This informtaion is obtained directly from the AFP font files which must be installed in the path specified in the afp-fonts xml definition file.

Constructor Detail

CharacterSet

public CharacterSet(java.lang.String codePage,
                    java.lang.String encoding,
                    java.lang.String name,
                    java.lang.String path)

Constructor for the CharacterSetMetric object, the character set is used to load the font information from the actual AFP font.

Parameters:

codePage - the code page identifier

encoding - the encoding of the font

name - the character set name

path - the path to the installed afp fonts

Method Detail

addCharacterSetOrientation

public void addCharacterSetOrientation(CharacterSetOrientation cso)

Add character set metric information for the different orientations

Parameters:

cso - the metrics for the orientation

getAscender

public int getAscender()

Ascender height is the distance from the character baseline to the top of the character box. A negative ascender height signifies that all of the graphic character is below the character baseline. For a character rotation other than 0, ascender height loses its meaning when the character is lying on its side or is upside down with respect to normal viewing orientation. For the general case, Ascender Height is the character�s most positive y-axis value. For bounded character boxes, for a given character having an ascender, ascender height and baseline offset are equal.

Returns:

the ascender value in millipoints

getCapHeight

public int getCapHeight()

Cap height is the average height of the uppercase characters in a font. This value is specified by the designer of a font and is usually the height of the uppercase M.

Returns:

the cap height value in millipoints

getDescender

public int getDescender()

Descender depth is the distance from the character baseline to the bottom of a character box. A negative descender depth signifies that all of the graphic character is above the character baseline.

Returns:

the descender value in millipoints

getFirstChar

public int getFirstChar()

The first character in the character set

Returns:

the first character

getLastChar

public int getLastChar()

The last character in the character set

Returns:

the last character

getPath

public java.lang.String getPath()

Returns:

the path where the font resources are installed

getWidths

public int[] getWidths()

Get the width (in 1/1000ths of a point size) of all characters

Returns:

the widths of all characters

getXHeight

public int getXHeight()

XHeight refers to the height of the lower case letters above the baseline.

Returns:

the typical height of characters

width

public int width(int character)

Get the width (in 1/1000ths of a point size) of the character identified by the parameter passed.

Parameters:

character - the character from which the width will be calculated

Returns:

the width of the character

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Returns the AFP character set identifier

Returns:

String

getNameBytes

public byte[] getNameBytes()

Returns the AFP character set identifier

Returns:

byte[]

getCodePage

public java.lang.String getCodePage()

Returns the AFP code page identifier

Returns:

String

getEncoding

public java.lang.String getEncoding()

Returns the AFP code page encoding

Returns:

String
