FontMetrics

Instances of this class provide measurement information about fonts including ascent, descent, height, leading space between rows, and average character width. <code>FontMetrics</code> are obtained from <code>GC</code>s using the <code>getFontMetrics()</code> method.

Functions

getAscent int getAscent(): Returns the ascent of the font described by the receiver. A font's ascent is the distance from the baseline to the top of actual characters, not including any of the leading area, measured in pixels.
getAverageCharWidth int getAverageCharWidth(): Returns the average character width, measured in pixels, of the font described by the receiver.
getDescent int getDescent(): Returns the descent of the font described by the receiver. A font's descent is the distance from the baseline to the bottom of actual characters, not including any of the leading area, measured in pixels.
getHeight int getHeight(): Returns the height of the font described by the receiver, measured in pixels. A font's height is the sum of its ascent, descent and leading area.
getLeading int getLeading(): Returns the leading area of the font described by the receiver. A font's leading area is the space above its ascent which may include accents or other marks.
opEquals equals_t opEquals(Object object): Compares the argument to the receiver, and returns true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison.
toHash hash_t toHash(): Returns an integer hash code for the receiver. Any two objects that return <code>true</code> when passed to <code>equals</code> must return the same value for this method.
