java.lang.Object java.awt.font.GlyphMetrics
public final class GlyphMetrics
The GlyphMetrics
class represents infomation for a
single glyph. A glyph is the visual representation of one or more
characters. Many different glyphs can be used to represent a single
character or combination of characters. GlyphMetrics
instances are produced by Font
and are applicable
to a specific glyph in a particular Font
.
Glyphs are either STANDARD, LIGATURE, COMBINING, or COMPONENT.
GlyphVector
do not correspond to a
particular character in a text model. Instead, COMPONENT glyphs are
added for typographical reasons, such as Arabic justification.
Other metrics available through GlyphMetrics
are the
components of the advance, the visual bounds, and the left and right
side bearings.
Glyphs for a rotated font, or obtained from a GlyphVector
which has applied a rotation to the glyph, can have advances that
contain both X and Y components. Usually the advance only has one
component.
The advance of a glyph is the distance from the glyph's origin to the
origin of the next glyph along the baseline, which is either vertical
or horizontal. Note that, in a GlyphVector
,
the distance from a glyph to its following glyph might not be the
glyph's advance, because of kerning or other positioning adjustments.
The bounds is the smallest rectangle that completely contains the outline of the glyph. The bounds rectangle is relative to the glyph's origin. The left-side bearing is the distance from the glyph origin to the left of its bounds rectangle. If the left-side bearing is negative, part of the glyph is drawn to the left of its origin. The right-side bearing is the distance from the right side of the bounds rectangle to the next glyph origin (the origin plus the advance). If negative, part of the glyph is drawn to the right of the next glyph's origin. Note that the bounds does not necessarily enclose all the pixels affected when rendering the glyph, because of rasterization and pixel adjustment effects.
Although instances of GlyphMetrics
can be directly
constructed, they are almost always obtained from a
GlyphVector
. Once constructed, GlyphMetrics
objects are immutable.
Example:
Querying a Font
for glyph information
Font font = ...; int glyphIndex = ...; GlyphMetrics metrics = GlyphVector.getGlyphMetrics(glyphIndex); int isStandard = metrics.isStandard(); float glyphAdvance = metrics.getAdvance();

This is the distance from 0, 0 to the left (top) of the glyph bounds. If the bounds of the glyph is to the left of (above) the origin, the LSB is negative.
public float getRSB()
This is the distance from the right (bottom) of the glyph bounds to the advance. If the bounds of the glyph is to the right of (below) the advance, the RSB is negative.
