FontDesignMetrics

Returns the advance width of the specified character in this Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the character's baseline. Note that the advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters.

This method doesn't validate the specified character to be a valid Unicode code point. The caller must validate the character value using Character.isValidCodePoint if necessary.

Returns the advance width of the specified character in this Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the character's baseline. Note that the advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters.

Note: This method cannot handle supplementary characters. To support all Unicode characters, including supplementary characters, use the charWidth(int) method.

Returns the total advance width for showing the specified array of characters in this Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the string's baseline. The advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters. This is equivalent to measuring a String of the characters in the specified range.

Determines the font ascent of the Font described by this FontMetrics object. The font ascent is the distance from the font's baseline to the top of most alphanumeric characters. Some characters in the Font might extend above the font ascent line.

Determines the font descent of the Font described by this FontMetrics object. The font descent is the distance from the font's baseline to the bottom of most alphanumeric characters with descenders. Some characters in the Font might extend below the font descent line.

Gets the FontRenderContext used by this FontMetrics object to measure text.

Note that methods in this class which take a Graphics parameter measure text using the FontRenderContext of that Graphics object, and not this FontRenderContext

Gets the standard height of a line of text in this font. This is the distance between the baseline of adjacent lines of text. It is the sum of the leading + ascent + descent. Due to rounding this may not be the same as getAscent() + getDescent() + getLeading(). There is no guarantee that lines of text spaced at this distance are disjoint; such lines may overlap if some characters overshoot either the standard ascent or the standard descent metric.

Determines the standard leading of the Font described by this FontMetrics object. The standard leading, or interline spacing, is the logical amount of space to be reserved between the descent of one line of text and the ascent of the next line. The height metric is calculated to include this extra space.

Gets the maximum advance width of any character in this Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the string's baseline. The advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters.

Gets the advance widths of the first 256 characters in the Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the character's baseline. Note that the advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters.

Returns the total advance width for showing the specified String in this Font. The advance is the distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the string's baseline.

Note that the advance of a String is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters.
