FontMetrics

class FontMetrics

The metrics of an Font.

The metric values are consistent with the Skia y-down coordinate system.

Classes

FontMetricsFlags

FontMetricsFlags indicate when certain metrics are valid; the underline or

Methods

__init__

hasStrikeoutPosition

Returns true if FontMetrics has a valid strikeout position, and sets position to that value.

hasStrikeoutThickness

Returns true if FontMetrics has a valid strikeout thickness, and sets thickness to that value.

hasUnderlinePosition

Returns true if FontMetrics has a valid underline position, and sets position to that value.

hasUnderlineThickness

Returns true if FontMetrics has a valid underline thickness, and sets thickness to that value.

Methods

FontMetrics.__init__(self: skia.FontMetrics) None
FontMetrics.hasStrikeoutPosition(self: skia.FontMetrics, position: float) bool

Returns true if FontMetrics has a valid strikeout position, and sets position to that value.

If the underline position is not valid, return false, and ignore position.

Parameters:

position (float) – storage for strikeout position

Returns:

true if font specifies strikeout position

FontMetrics.hasStrikeoutThickness(self: skia.FontMetrics, thickness: float) bool

Returns true if FontMetrics has a valid strikeout thickness, and sets thickness to that value.

If the underline thickness is not valid, return false, and ignore thickness.

Parameters:

thickness (float) – storage for strikeout width

Returns:

true if font specifies strikeout width

FontMetrics.hasUnderlinePosition(self: skia.FontMetrics, position: float) bool

Returns true if FontMetrics has a valid underline position, and sets position to that value.

If the underline position is not valid, return false, and ignore position.

Parameters:

position (float) – storage for underline position

Returns:

true if font specifies underline position

FontMetrics.hasUnderlineThickness(self: skia.FontMetrics, thickness: float) bool

Returns true if FontMetrics has a valid underline thickness, and sets thickness to that value.

If the underline thickness is not valid, return false, and ignore thickness.

Parameters:

thickness – storage for underline width

Returns:

true if font specifies underline width
