IFontEncoding
public interface IFontEncoding
Defines an interface for Font encoding.
Methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| gidToUnicode(GlyphId gid) | Decodes Gid to unicode. |
| encode(long gid, long charCode) | Encodes the glyph. |
| unicodeToGid(long unicode) | Decodes a unicode and returns glyph id. |
| decodeToGid(long charCode) | Decodes a character code and returns glyph id. |
| decodeToGidParameterized(IEncodingParameters parameters, long charCode) | Parameterized decode method. |
gidToUnicode(GlyphId gid)
public abstract long gidToUnicode(GlyphId gid)
Decodes Gid to unicode. Glyph id is a unique number for a glyph, which is font type dependent. For example: Type1’s id is a glyph name, instance of ( GlyphStringId ) class. TTF’s id is an int index, instance of ( GlyphUInt32Id ) class.
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| gid | GlyphId | Glyph identifier of symbol to decode. |
Returns: long - Unicode value related to glyph id passed.
encode(long gid, long charCode)
public abstract void encode(long gid, long charCode)
Encodes the glyph. For TTF Fonts the charCode is unicode.
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| gid | long | Glyph id. |
| charCode | long | Character code associated with the glyph id. |
unicodeToGid(long unicode)
public abstract GlyphId unicodeToGid(long unicode)
Decodes a unicode and returns glyph id. Glyph id is a unique number for a glyph, which is font type dependent. For example: Type1’s id is a glyph name, instance of ( GlyphStringId ) class. TTF’s id is an int index, instance of ( GlyphUInt32Id ) class.
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| unicode | long | Unicode to get glyph identifier for. |
Returns: GlyphId - Glyph identifier related to unicode passed.
decodeToGid(long charCode)
public abstract GlyphId decodeToGid(long charCode)
Decodes a character code and returns glyph id. Glyph id is a unique number for a glyph, which is font type dependent. For example: Type1’s id is a glyph name, instance of ( GlyphStringId ) class. TTF’s id is an int index, instance of ( GlyphUInt32Id ) class.
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| charCode | long | Character code to get glyph identifier for. |
Returns: GlyphId - Glyph identifier related to charCode passed.
decodeToGidParameterized(IEncodingParameters parameters, long charCode)
public abstract GlyphId decodeToGidParameterized(IEncodingParameters parameters, long charCode)
Parameterized decode method. Some font types can have multiple encoding algorithms/maps. So, IEncodingParameters interface is used to create concrete font encoding parameters.
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| parameters | IEncodingParameters | Implementation of IEncodingParameters interface. |
| charCode | long | Character code to get glyph identifier for. |
Returns: GlyphId - Glyph identifier related to char code passed.
