Xerox characters and strings
XChar: TYPE ~ Char.XCHAR;
nullXChar: XChar ~ Char.
XCHAR.
LAST;
An XChar is a 32-bit character code. The Imager itself does not really depend on the interpretation of the codes; but see the Xerox Character Code Standard for the currently preferred interpretation.
XCharProc:
TYPE ~
PROC [char: XChar];
XStringProc:
TYPE ~
PROC [charAction: XCharProc];
MapRope: PROC [rope: ROPE, start: INT ¬ 0, len: INT ¬ INT.LAST, charAction: XCharProc];
MapText:
PROC [text:
REF
READONLY
TEXT, start:
NAT ¬ 0, len:
NAT ¬
NAT.
LAST, charAction: XCharProc];
These assume the Xerox string encoding; they treat '\377 as an escape code.
See the Xerox Character Code Standard, section 6, and the Interpress Standard, section 2.5.3.
Fonts
The Font consists of a transformation along with a reference to the untransformed font object (i.e., Typeface). Fonts are canonicalized, so clients must treat them as immutable.
Font: TYPE ~ REF FontRep;
FontRep:
TYPE ~
RECORD [
charToClient: Transformation, -- transforms from character to client coordinates
typeface: Typeface -- the data and class for the untransformed font
];
Typeface: TYPE ~ REF TypefaceRep;
TypefaceRep: TYPE; -- see ImagerTypeface
Substitution:
TYPE ~ {noSubstitute, substituteWithWarning, substituteQuietly};
Find:
PROC [name:
ROPE, substitution: Substitution ¬ substituteWithWarning]
RETURNS [Font];
Find the font with the given hierarchical name.
It's safe to use RefText.TrustTextAsRope for the name.
May raise Imager.Error or Imager.Warning.
Modify:
PROC [font: Font, m: Transformation]
RETURNS [Font];
Modify a font by post-concatenating the given transformation.
Scale:
PROC [font: Font, s:
REAL]
RETURNS [Font];
Equivalent to Modify[font, ImagerTransformation.Scale[s]].
FindScaled:
PROC [name:
ROPE, s:
REAL]
RETURNS [Font];
Equivalent to Scale[Find[name], s].
SelectAlternateMetrics:
PROC [font: Font, alternateMetrics:
ROPE]
RETURNS [Font];
Makes a new font with an alternate set of metrics.
May raise Imager.Error.
Metrics
Extents:
TYPE ~ ImagerBox.Extents;
-- RECORD [leftExtent, rightExtent, descent, ascent: REAL]
CorrectionType:
TYPE ~
MACHINE
DEPENDENT {mask(0), space(1), none(2), (3)};
Contains:
PROC [font: Font, char: XChar]
RETURNS [
BOOL];
Returns TRUE iff the character exists in the font.
NextChar:
PROC [font: Font, char: XChar]
RETURNS [next: XChar];
Returns next char in the font, or nullXChar.
Call with nullXChar to get first char in font.
Escapement:
PROC [font: Font, char: XChar]
RETURNS [
VEC];
Returns escapement vector for the character.
Amplified:
PROC [font: Font, char: XChar]
RETURNS [
BOOL];
Returns TRUE iff the character is an 'amplifying' character.
Correction:
PROC [font: Font, char: XChar]
RETURNS [CorrectionType];
Returns the type of correction, if any, for the character.
BoundingBox:
PROC [font: Font, char: XChar]
RETURNS [Extents];
Returns a true bounding box for the character mask (not necessarily as tight as possible).
FontBoundingBox:
PROC [font: Font]
RETURNS [Extents];
Returns a bounding box for all character bounding boxes superimposed.
Name:
PROC [font: Font]
RETURNS [
ROPE];
Universal name of the font (see Interpress section 4.9.1); a font does not necessarily have a name
Kern:
PROC [font: Font, char, successor: XChar]
RETURNS [
VEC];
Returns kerning adjustment between char and successor, or [0, 0].
NextKern:
PROC [font: Font, char, successor: XChar]
RETURNS [XChar];
Returns next successor that kerns with char.
Call with successor=nullXChar to get first one.
Ligature:
PROC [font: Font, char, successor: XChar]
RETURNS [XChar];
Returns a ligature formed from char and successor, or nullXChar.
NextLigature:
PROC [font: Font, char, successor: XChar]
RETURNS [XChar];
Returns next successor that has a ligature with char,
Call with successor=nullXChar to get first one.

PROC [font: Font, string: XStringProc, amplifySpace:
