Class CharacterSet

java.lang.Object
org.apache.fop.afp.fonts.CharacterSet
Direct Known Subclasses:
FopCharacterSet

public class CharacterSet extends Object
The IBM Font Object Content Architecture (FOCA) supports presentation of character shapes by defining their characteristics, which include font description information for identifying the characters, font metric information for positioning the characters, and character shape information for presenting the character images.
Presenting a graphic character on a presentation surface requires information on the rotation and position of character on the physical or logical page.
This class proivdes font metric information for a particular font as identified by the character set name. This information is obtained directly from the AFP font files which must be installed in the path specified in the afp-fonts xml definition file.

      public void addCharacterSetOrientation(CharacterSetOrientation cso)
      Add character set metric information for the different orientations
      Parameters:
      cso - the metrics for the orientation
    • setNominalVerticalSize

      public void setNominalVerticalSize(int nominalVerticalSize)
      Sets the nominal vertical size of the font in the case of bitmap fonts.
      Parameters:
      nominalVerticalSize - the nominal vertical size (in millipoints)
    • getNominalVerticalSize

      public int getNominalVerticalSize()
      Returns the nominal vertical size of the font in the case of bitmap fonts. For outline fonts, zero is returned, because these are scalable fonts.
      Returns:
      the nominal vertical size (in millipoints) for bitmap fonts, or 0 for outline fonts.
    • getAscender

      public int getAscender()
      Ascender height is the distance from the character baseline to the top of the character box. A negative ascender height signifies that all of the graphic character is below the character baseline. For a character rotation other than 0, ascender height loses its meaning when the character is lying on its side or is upside down with respect to normal viewing orientation. For the general case, Ascender Height is the characters most positive y-axis value. For bounded character boxes, for a given character having an ascender, ascender height and baseline offset are equal.
      Returns:
      the ascender value in millipoints
    • getUnderscoreWidth

      public int getUnderscoreWidth()
      Return the width to use for an underscore (_) character.
      Returns:
      the width of an underscore character
    • getUnderscorePosition

      public int getUnderscorePosition()
      Return the position for an underscore (_) character.
      Returns:
      the position of an underscore character
    • getCapHeight

      public int getCapHeight()
      Cap height is the average height of the uppercase characters in a font. This value is specified by the designer of a font and is usually the height of the uppercase M.
      Returns:
      the cap height value in millipoints
    • getDescender

      public int getDescender()
      Descender depth is the distance from the character baseline to the bottom of a character box. A negative descender depth signifies that all of the graphic character is above the character baseline.
      Returns:
      the descender value in millipoints
    • getResourceAccessor

      public AFPResourceAccessor getResourceAccessor()
      Returns the resource accessor to load the font resources with.
      Returns:
      the resource accessor to load the font resources with
    • getXHeight

      public int getXHeight()
      XHeight refers to the height of the lower case letters above the baseline.

      the AFP code page identifier
    • getEncoding

      public String getEncoding()
      Returns the AFP code page encoding
      Returns:
      the AFP code page encoding
    • getCharacterSetOrientation

      private CharacterSetOrientation getCharacterSetOrientation()
      Helper method to return the current CharacterSetOrientation, note that FOP does not yet implement the "reference-orientation" attribute therefore we always use the orientation zero degrees, Other orientation information is captured for use by a future implementation (whenever FOP implement the mechanism). This is also the case for landscape prints which use an orientation of 270 degrees, in 99.9% of cases the font metrics will be the same as the 0 degrees therefore the implementation currently will always use 0 degrees.
      Returns:
      characterSetOrentation The current orientation metrics.
    • hasChar

      public boolean hasChar(char c)
      Indicates whether the given char in the character set.
      Parameters:
      c - the character to check
      Returns:
      true if the character is in the character set
    • encodeChars

      Encodes a character sequence to a byte array.
      Parameters:
      chars - the characters
      Returns:
      the encoded characters
      Throws:
      CharacterCodingException - if the encoding operation fails
    • mapChar

      public char mapChar(char c)
      Map a Unicode character to a code point in the font. The code tables are already converted to Unicode therefore we can use the identity mapping.
      Parameters:
      c - the Unicode character to map
      Returns:
      the mapped character
