Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Font() [1/4]

tgui::Font::Font ( const String id)

Constructor to create the font from a string (filename by default)

Parameters
idString to pass to the Deserializer class to load the font

◆ Font() [2/4]

tgui::Font::Font ( const char *  id)

Constructor to create the font from a string (filename by default)

Parameters
idString to pass to the Deserializer class to load the font

◆ Font() [3/4]

tgui::Font::Font ( const void *  data,
std::size_t  sizeInBytes 
)

Constructor to create the font from a byte array.

Parameters
dataPointer to the file data in memory
sizeInBytesSize of the data to load, in bytes

◆ Font() [4/4]

tgui::Font::Font ( std::shared_ptr< BackendFont backendFont,
const String id 
)

Constructor to create the font from an internal backend font.

Parameters
backendFontInternal font to use
idId of the font (usually filename)

Member Function Documentation

◆ getBackendFont()

std::shared_ptr< BackendFont > tgui::Font::getBackendFont ( ) const

Returns the internal font.

Returns
Backend font that is used internally

◆ getGlobalFont()

static Font tgui::Font::getGlobalFont ( )
static

Returns the global font that is used for all new widgets.

Returns
Global font

◆ getGlyph()

FontGlyph tgui::Font::getGlyph ( char32_t  codePoint,
unsigned int  characterSize,
bool  bold,
float  outlineThickness = 0 
) const

Retrieve a glyph of the font.

If the font is a bitmap font, not all character sizes might be available. If the glyph is not available at the requested size, an empty glyph is returned.

Parameters
codePointUnicode code point of the character to get
characterSizeReference character size
boldRetrieve the bold version or the regular one?
outlineThicknessThickness of outline (when != 0 the glyph will not be filled)
Returns
The glyph corresponding to codePoint and characterSize

◆ getId()

const String & tgui::Font::getId ( ) const

Returns the id that was used to load the font.

Returns
Id of the font or an empty string when no id was passed when this object was created

◆ getKerning()

float tgui::Font::getKerning ( char32_t  first,
char32_t  second,
unsigned int  characterSize,
bool  bold = false 
) const

Returns the kerning offset of two glyphs.

The kerning is an extra offset (negative) to apply between two glyphs when rendering them, to make the pair look more "natural". For example, the pair "AV" have a special kerning to make them closer than other characters. Most of the glyphs pairs have a kerning offset of zero, though.

Parameters
firstUnicode code point of the first character
secondUnicode code point of the second character
characterSizeSize of the characters
boldAre the glyphs bold or regular?
Returns
Kerning value for first and second, in pixels

◆ getLineSpacing()

float tgui::Font::getLineSpacing ( unsigned int  characterSize) const

Returns the line spacing.

Line spacing is the vertical offset to apply between two consecutive lines of text.

Parameters
characterSizeSize of the characters
Returns
Line spacing, in pixels

◆ isSmooth()

bool tgui::Font::isSmooth ( ) const

Tell whether the smooth filter is enabled or not.

Returns
True if smoothing is enabled, false if it is disabled
See also
setSmooth

◆ setGlobalFont()

static void tgui::Font::setGlobalFont ( const Font font)
static

Changes the global font that is used for all new widgets.

Parameters
fontNew global font

◆ setSmooth()

void tgui::Font::setSmooth ( bool  smooth)

Enable or disable the smooth filter.

When the filter is activated, the font appears smoother so that pixels are less noticeable. However if you want the font to look exactly the same as its source file then you should disable it. The smooth filter is enabled by default.

Parameters
smoothTrue to enable smoothing, false to disable it
