Xerox characters and strings
XChar: TYPE ~ MACHINE DEPENDENT RECORD [set: BYTE, code: BYTE];
nullXChar: XChar ~ [377B, 377B];
An XChar is a 16-bit Xerox character code. See the Xerox Character Code Standard.
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
Font: TYPE ~ REF FontRep;
FontRep:
TYPE ~
RECORD [
name: ROPE, -- universal name of the font (see Interpress section 4.9.1)
charToClient: Transformation, -- transforms from character to client coordinates
impl: REF FontImplRep, -- private implementation data
propList: Atom.PropList ← NIL
];
FontImplRep:
TYPE;
-- see ImagerFontPrivate
Find:
PROC [name:
ROPE]
RETURNS [Font];
Find the font with the given hierarchical name.
It's safe to use RefText.TrustTextAsRope for the name.
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]].
Metrics
Extents:
TYPE ~
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.
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.
StringEscapement:
PROC [font: Font, string: XStringProc]
RETURNS [
VEC];
RopeEscapement:
PROC [font: Font, rope:
ROPE,
start:
INT ← 0, len:
INT ←
INT.
LAST]
RETURNS [
VEC];
TextEscapement:
PROC [font: Font, text:
REF
READONLY
TEXT,
start:
NAT ← 0, len:
NAT ←
NAT.
LAST]
RETURNS [
VEC];
StringBoundingBox:
PROC [font: Font, string: XStringProc]
RETURNS [Extents];
RopeBoundingBox:
PROC [font: Font, rope:
ROPE,
start:
INT ← 0, len:
INT ←
INT.
LAST]
RETURNS [Extents];
TextBoundingBox:
PROC [font: Font, text:
REF
READONLY
TEXT,
start:
