Class FontGlyphReader

java.lang.Object

com.vividsolutions.jts.awt.FontGlyphReader

public class FontGlyphReader
extends Object

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 resulting geometry are in the base coordinate system of the font. The geometry can be further transformed as necessary using AffineTransformations.

Method Detail

read

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 - the text to render
