Glyph
[Raku PDF Project] / [PDF-Font-Loader Module] / PDF::Font::Loader :: Glyph
class PDF::Font::Loader::Glyph
Represents a single glyph in a PDF
Description
This is an introspective class for looking up glyphs from font encodings.
Example
use PDF::Font::Loader::Glyph;
# load from character encodings
my PDF::Font::Loader::Glyph @glyphs = $font.glyphs: "Hi";
say @glyphs[0].raku; # Glyph.new(:name<H>, :code-point(72), :cid(48), :gid(26), :ax(823), :ay(0))
say @glyphs[1].raku; # Glyph.new(:name<i>, :code-point(105), :cid(4), :gid(21), :ax(334), :ay(0)
# load from CIDs
@glyphs = $font.glyphs: [48, 4];
Methods
code-point
The Unicode code-point for the glyph.
If the font has been loaded from a PDF dictionary. The glyph may not have a Unicode font mapping. In this case, code-point
will be zero.
name
Glyph name.
cid
The PDF logical character identifier for the glyph
gid
Actual glyph identifier for the glyph. This is the index into the font's associated face
object.
For Identity-H
and Identity-V
encoded fonts and other fonts without a cid-to-gid-map
table, the gid
will be the same as the cid
.
ax
The width (horizontal displacement to the next glyph). The value should be multiplied by font-size / 1000 to compute the actual displacement.
Note that the width of a glyph can be indirectly set or altered via the font object:
$font.glyph-width('i') -= 100
ay
The height (vertical displacement to the next glyph) for a vertically written glyph. This method is not-yet-implemented, and always returns zero.
sx
The actual width of the glyph in the current font. This may vary from ax
if a width has been set for the glyph, or when a font has been substituted while loading an unembedded or core font from a PDF dictionary.
