Interface java.awt.font.MultipleMaster

public interface MultipleMaster
This is an interface representing Type 1 Multiple Master fonts. A particular Font object may implement this interface.

Method Index

o deriveMMFont(float[])
Creates a new instance of a multiple master font based on the design axes values specified by the array.
o deriveMMFont(float[], float, float, float, float)
Creates a new instance of a multiple master font based on detailed metric information.
o getDesignAxisDefaults()
Returns an array of default design values for each axis.
o getDesignAxisNames()
Returns the name for each design axis.
o getDesignAxisRanges()
Returns an array of design limits interleaved in the form [from->to] for each axis.
o getNumDesignAxes()
Returns the number of multiple master design controls.

Methods

o getNumDesignAxes 
public abstract int getNumDesignAxes()
Returns the number of multiple master design controls. Design axes include things like width, weight and optical scaling.

o getDesignAxisRanges 
public abstract 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 will be returned in the same order returned by getDesignAxisNames().

o getDesignAxisDefaults 
public abstract 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 will be returned in the same order returned by getDesignAxisNames().

o getDesignAxisNames 
public abstract String[] getDesignAxisNames()
Returns the name for each design axis. This also determines the order in which the values for each axis will be returned.

o deriveMMFont 
public abstract Font deriveMMFont(float[] axes)
Creates a new instance of a multiple master font based on the design axes values specified by the array. The size of the array must correspond to the value returned from getNumDesignAxes() and the values of the array elements must fall within limits specified by getDesignAxesLimits(). In case of an error, NULL is returned.

o deriveMMFont 
public abstract 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, NULL is 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.
