Class CharacterSetOrientation

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.fop.afp.fonts.CharacterSetOrientation

public class CharacterSetOrientation
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 that you communicate this information clearly to rotate and position characters correctly on the physical or logical page.
This class provides font metric information for a particular font as by the orientation.
This information is obtained directly from the AFP font files which must be installed in the classpath under in the location specified by the path attribute in the afp-font.xml file.

Constructor Detail

CharacterSetOrientation

public CharacterSetOrientation(int orientation,
                               int spaceIncrement,
                               int emSpaceIncrement,
                               int nomCharIncrement)
Constructor for the CharacterSetOrientation, the orientation is expressed as the degrees rotation (i.e 0, 90, 180, 270)

Parameters:
orientation - the character set orientation
spaceIncrement - the space increment
emSpaceIncrement - the em space increment
nomCharIncrement - the nominal character increment
Method Detail

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

getUnderscoreWidth

public int getUnderscoreWidth()

Returns:
the underscore width

getUnderscorePosition

public int getUnderscorePosition()

Returns:
the underscore position

getOrientation

public int getOrientation()
The orientation for these metrics in the character set

Returns:
the orientation

getXHeight

public int getXHeight()
XHeight refers to the height of the lower case letters above the baseline.

Returns:
heightX the typical height of characters

getWidth

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

Parameters:
character - the Unicode character to evaluate
size - the font size
Returns:
the widths of the character

getCharacterBox

public java.awt.Rectangle getCharacterBox(char character,
                                          int size)
Get the character box (rectangle with dimensions in 1/1000ths of a point size) of the character identified by the parameter passed.

Parameters:
character - the Unicode character to evaluate
size - the font size
Returns:
the character box

setAscender

public void setAscender(int ascender)
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.

Parameters:

setUnderscoreWidth

public void setUnderscoreWidth(int underscoreWidth)
TODO

Parameters:
underscoreWidth - the underscore width value in millipoints
