public class FontGlyphReader

Provides methods to read Font glyphs for strings into Polygonal geometry.

It is suggested to use larger point sizes to render fonts glyphs, to reduce the effects of scale-dependent hints. The result geometry is in the base coordinate system of the font. The geometry can be further transformed as necessary using AffineTransformations.

public static Geometry read(String text, String fontName, int pointSize, GeometryFactory geomFact)

Converts text rendered in the given font and pointsize to a Geometry using a standard flatness factor.

Parameters:: text - text the text to render; fontName - fontName the name of the font; pointSize - pointSize the pointSize to render at; geomFact - geomFact the geometryFactory to use to create the result

Returns:: a polygonal geometry representing the rendered text

public static Geometry read(String text, Font font, GeometryFactory geomFact)

Converts text rendered in the given Font to a Geometry using a standard flatness factor.

Parameters:: text - text the text to render; font - font the font to render with; geomFact - geomFact the geometryFactory to use to create the result

Returns:: a polygonal geometry representing the rendered text

public static Geometry read(String text, Font font, double flatness, GeometryFactory geomFact)

Converts text rendered in the given Font to a Geometry

Parameters:: text - text the text to render; font - font the font to render with; flatness - flatness the flatness factor to use; geomFact - geomFact the geometryFactory to use to create the result

Returns:: a polygonal geometry representing the rendered text
