Member Function Documentation

◆ SetSize()

virtual Bool Murl::IFont::SetSize ( Real size )

pure virtual

Set the font size.

Parameters

size	The font size.

Returns: true if successful.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ GetSize()

virtual Real Murl::IFont::GetSize ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the font size.

Returns: The font size.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ SetSpacing()

virtual Bool Murl::IFont::SetSpacing ( Real spacing )

pure virtual

Set the character spacing value.

This method sets the character spacing used for output, i.e. the horizontal distance between neighbored characters. The given spacing value adds to the default value specified in the font used for rendering this text; a value of 0.0 represents the font's original spacing, a positive value increases the horizontal distance between characters, and a negative value decreases it.

Note: The given spacing value is not scaled by the font used; if e.g. a positive value is used for a large font, the same value used with a smaller version of that same font will result in a (relatively) larger distance between characters. It is however influenced by a possible additional scaling operation performed by a text rendering object.

Note also that not all types of fonts allow setting a custom spacing value. If not supported, this method returns false.

Parameters

spacing The character spacing value.

Returns: true if successful.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ GetSpacing()

virtual Real Murl::IFont::GetSpacing ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the character spacing value.

Returns: The character spacing value.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ SetLeading()

virtual Bool Murl::IFont::SetLeading ( Real leading )

pure virtual

Set the leading value.

This method sets the leading value used for output, i.e. the vertical distance between subsequent text lines. The given leading value adds to the default value specified in the font used for rendering this text; a value of 0.0 represents the font's original leading, a positive value increases the vertical distance between lines, and a negative value decreases it.

Note: The given leading value is not scaled by the font used; if e.g. a positive value is used for a large font, the same value used with a smaller version of that same font will result in a (relatively) larger distance between lines. It is however influenced by a possible additional scaling operation performed by a text rendering object.

Parameters

leading The leading value.

Returns: true if successful.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ GetLeading()

virtual Real Murl::IFont::GetLeading ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the font leading value.

Returns: The font leading value.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ SetEmbolding()

virtual Bool Murl::IFont::SetEmbolding ( Real strength )

pure virtual

Set the embolding strength value.

The embolding strength determines the "boldness" or "weight" of the font's rendered glyphs. Positive values result in thicker lines, and negative values can be used to make the font "thinner". Useful values are in the range from -1 to +1, but can also lie beyond that range.

Note that not all types of fonts allow glyph embolding. If not supported, this method returns false.

Parameters

strength The embolding strength value.

Returns: true if successful.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ GetEmbolding()

virtual Real Murl::IFont::GetEmbolding ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the embolding strength value.

Returns: The embolding strength value.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ SetBlur()

virtual Bool Murl::IFont::SetBlur ( Real strength )

pure virtual

Set the blur strength value.

Parameters

strength The positive blur strength value.

Returns: true if successful.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ GetBlur()

virtual Real Murl::IFont::GetBlur ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the blur strength value.

Returns: The blur strength value.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ SetSpaceWidthFactor()

virtual Bool Murl::IFont::SetSpaceWidthFactor ( Real factor )

pure virtual

Set the space width factor.

This method sets a factor used to control the actual width of the white space character. In some cases, it is useful to manually control the space character's width, when a font's default space width produces too small or too big a distance between subsequent words. A space width factor of 1.0 represents the original width defined by the font used for rendering.

Note that not all types of fonts allow setting a custom space width factor. If not supported, this method returns false.

Parameters

factor The space width factor.

Returns: true if successful.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ GetSpaceWidthFactor()

virtual Real Murl::IFont::GetSpaceWidthFactor ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the space width factor.

Returns: The space width factor.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ SetDigitWidthFactor()

virtual Bool Murl::IFont::SetDigitWidthFactor ( Real factor )

pure virtual

Set the digit width factor.

This method sets a factor used to control the horizontal advance of all digit characters of a font ('0'-'9'). A digit width factor of 1.0 represents the original width defined by the font used for rendering.

Note, that this value only influences distance and not visual width; a value of e.g. 0.1 will result in overlapping digits without actually scaling them.

Note also that not all types of fonts allow setting a custom digit width value. If not supported, this method returns false.

Parameters

factor The digit width factor.

Returns: true if successful.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ GetDigitWidthFactor()

virtual Real Murl::IFont::GetDigitWidthFactor ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the digit width factor.

Returns: The digit width factor.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ SetSameDigitWidthEnabled()

virtual Bool Murl::IFont::SetSameDigitWidthEnabled ( Bool enabled )

pure virtual

Enable/disable unified digit width.

For certain use cases, such as a score counter in an action game, it is useful to set a common width for all digits ('0'-'9'); doing so prevents the counter from jittering due to different digit widths. Note that not all types of fonts allow a common digit width. If not supported, this method returns false.

Parameters

enabled If true, all digits use the same horizontal advance value.

Returns: true if successful.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ IsSameDigitWidthEnabled()

virtual Bool Murl::IFont::IsSameDigitWidthEnabled ( ) const

pure virtual

Check if unified digit width is enabled.

Returns: true if all digits use the same horizontal advance value.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ SetLegacyEmboldingEnabled()

virtual Bool Murl::IFont::SetLegacyEmboldingEnabled ( Bool enabled )

pure virtual

Enable/disable the legacy embolding algorithm.

Parameters

enabled If true, legacy embolding is used.

Returns: true if successful.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ IsLegacyEmboldingEnabled()

virtual Bool Murl::IFont::IsLegacyEmboldingEnabled ( ) const

pure virtual

Check if the legacy embolding algorithm is used.

Returns: true if used.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

◆ RenderText()

		const Color &	textColor,
		const Color &	backgroundColor,
		Bool	clearSurface,
		Bool	enableWordWrap,
		Real	containerPosX,
		Real	containerPosY,
		Real	containerSizeX,
		Real	containerSizeY,
		IEnums::TextAlignmentX	alignX,
		IEnums::TextAlignmentY	alignY,
		IVideoSurface *	surface
	)		const

pure virtual

Render a text into a video stream.

alignX	The horizontal text alignment.
alignY	The vertical text alignment.
surface	The destination video surface.

Returns: true if successful.

Implemented in Murl::Util::FontCollection, and Murl::Util::Font.

		Bool	enableWordWrap,
		Real	containerPosX,
		Real	containerPosY,
		Real	containerSizeX,
		Real	containerSizeY,
		Real &	textSizeX,
