Class RFont

java.lang.Object
  geomerative.RFont

All Implemented Interfaces:

processing.core.PConstants

public class RFont
extends java.lang.Object
implements processing.core.PConstants

RShape is a reduced interface for creating, holding and drawing text from TrueType Font files. It's a basic interpreter of TrueType fonts enabling to access any String in the form of a group of shapes. Enabling us in this way to acces their geometry.

Field Summary

int	align The alignement of the font.
boolean	forceAscii Should we try to use ASCII, rather than Unicode?
int	size The point size of the font.
