Destroys the QRawFont

QVector<QPointF> QRawFont::​advancesForGlyphIndexes(const QVector<quint32> & glyphIndexes, LayoutFlags layoutFlags) const

Returns the QRawFont's advances for each of the glyphIndexes in pixel units. The advances give the distance from the position of a given glyph to where the next glyph should be drawn to make it appear as if the two glyphs are unspaced. How the advances are calculated is controlled by layoutFlags.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.

See also QTextLine::horizontalAdvance() and QFontMetricsF::width().

bool QRawFont::​advancesForGlyphIndexes(const quint32 * glyphIndexes, QPointF * advances, int numGlyphs, LayoutFlags layoutFlags) const

Returns the QRawFont's advances for each of the glyphIndexes in pixel units. The advances give the distance from the position of a given glyph to where the next glyph should be drawn to make it appear as if the two glyphs are unspaced. The glyph indexes are given with the array glyphIndexes while the results are returned through advances, both of them must have numGlyphs elements. How the advances are calculated is controlled by layoutFlags.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.

See also QTextLine::horizontalAdvance() and QFontMetricsF::width().

QVector<QPointF> QRawFont::​advancesForGlyphIndexes(const QVector<quint32> & glyphIndexes) const

This is an overloaded function.

Returns the QRawFont's advances for each of the glyphIndexes in pixel units. The advances give the distance from the position of a given glyph to where the next glyph should be drawn to make it appear as if the two glyphs are unspaced. The advance of each glyph is calculated separately.

See also QTextLine::horizontalAdvance() and QFontMetricsF::width().

bool QRawFont::​advancesForGlyphIndexes(const quint32 * glyphIndexes, QPointF * advances, int numGlyphs) const

This is an overloaded function.

Returns the QRawFont's advances for each of the glyphIndexes in pixel units. The advances give the distance from the position of a given glyph to where the next glyph should be drawn to make it appear as if the two glyphs are unspaced. The glyph indexes are given with the array glyphIndexes while the results are returned through advances, both of them must have numGlyphs elements. The advance of each glyph is calculated separately

See also QTextLine::horizontalAdvance() and QFontMetricsF::width().

QImage QRawFont::​alphaMapForGlyph(quint32 glyphIndex, AntialiasingType antialiasingType = SubPixelAntialiasing, const QTransform & transform = QTransform()) const

This function returns a rasterized image of the glyph at the given glyphIndex in the underlying font, using the transform specified. If the QRawFont is not valid, this function will return an invalid QImage.

If antialiasingType is set to QRawFont::SubPixelAntialiasing, then the resulting image will be in QImage::Format_RGB32 and the RGB values of each pixel will represent the subpixel opacities of the pixel in the rasterization of the glyph. Otherwise, the image will be in the format of QImage::Format_Indexed8 and each pixel will contain the opacity of the pixel in the rasterization.

See also pathForGlyph() and QPainter::drawGlyphRun().

qreal QRawFont::​ascent() const

Returns the ascent of this QRawFont in pixel units.

See also QFontMetricsF::ascent().

qreal QRawFont::​averageCharWidth() const

Returns the average character width of this QRawFont in pixel units.

See also QFontMetricsF::averageCharWidth().

QRectF QRawFont::​boundingRect(quint32 glyphIndex) const

Returns the smallest rectangle containing the glyph with the given glyphIndex.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

qreal QRawFont::​descent() const

Returns the descent of this QRawFont in pixel units.

See also QFontMetricsF::descent().

QString QRawFont::​familyName() const

Returns the family name of this QRawFont.

QByteArray QRawFont::​fontTable(const char * tagName) const

Retrieves the sfnt table named tagName from the underlying physical font, or an empty byte array if no such table was found. The returned font table's byte order is Big Endian, like the sfnt format specifies. The tagName must be four characters long and should be formatted in the default endianness of the current platform.

[static] QRawFont QRawFont::​fromFont(const QFont & font, QFontDatabase::WritingSystem writingSystem = QFontDatabase::Any)

Fetches the physical representation based on a font query. The physical font returned is the font that will be preferred by Qt in order to display text in the selected writingSystem.

Warning: This function is potentially expensive and should not be called in performance sensitive code.

bool QRawFont::​glyphIndexesForChars(const QChar * chars, int numChars, quint32 * glyphIndexes, int * numGlyphs) const

Converts a string of unicode points to glyph indexes using the CMAP table in the underlying font. The function works like glyphIndexesForString() except it take an array (chars), the results will be returned though glyphIndexes array and number of glyphs will be set in numGlyphs. The size of glyphIndexes array must be at least numChars, if that's still not enough, this function will return false, then you can resize glyphIndexes from the size returned in numGlyphs.

See also glyphIndexesForString(), advancesForGlyphIndexes(), QGlyphRun, QTextLayout::glyphRuns(), and QTextFragment::glyphRuns().

QVector<quint32> QRawFont::​glyphIndexesForString(const QString & text) const

Converts the string of unicode points given by text to glyph indexes using the CMAP table in the underlying font, and returns a vector containing the result.

Note that, in cases where there are other tables in the font that affect the shaping of the text, the returned glyph indexes will not correctly represent the rendering of the text. To get the correctly shaped text, you can use QTextLayout to lay out and shape the text, then call QTextLayout::glyphs() to get the set of glyph index list and QRawFont pairs.

See also advancesForGlyphIndexes(), glyphIndexesForChars(), QGlyphRun, QTextLayout::glyphRuns(), and QTextFragment::glyphRuns().
