Struct GlyphMetrics

Namespace
SharpDX.DirectWrite
Assembly
SharpDX.Direct2D1.dll

Specifies the metrics of an individual glyph. The units depend on how the metrics are obtained.

Fields

AdvanceHeight

Specifies the Y offset from the vertical origin of the current glyph to the vertical origin of the next glyph when writing vertically. Note that the term "origin" by itself denotes the horizontal origin. The vertical origin is different. Its Y coordinate is specified by verticalOriginY value, and its X coordinate is half the advanceWidth to the right of the horizontal origin.

public int AdvanceHeight

Field Value

int

AdvanceWidth

Specifies the X offset from the origin of the current glyph to the origin of the next glyph when writing horizontally.

public int AdvanceWidth

Field Value

int

BottomSideBearing

Specifies the vertical distance from the bottom edge of the black box to the advance height. This is positive when the bottom edge of the black box is within the layout box, or negative when the bottom edge of black box overhangs the layout box.

public int BottomSideBearing

Field Value

int

LeftSideBearing

Specifies the X offset from the glyph origin to the left edge of the black box. The glyph origin is the current horizontal writing position. A negative value means the black box extends to the left of the origin (often true for lowercase italic 'f').

public int LeftSideBearing

Field Value

int

RightSideBearing

Specifies the X offset from the right edge of the black box to the origin of the next glyph when writing horizontally. The value is negative when the right edge of the black box overhangs the layout box.

public int RightSideBearing

Field Value

int

TopSideBearing

Specifies the vertical offset from the vertical origin to the top of the black box. Thus, a positive value adds whitespace whereas a negative value means the glyph overhangs the top of the layout box.

public int TopSideBearing

Field Value

int

VerticalOriginY

Specifies the Y coordinate of a glyph's vertical origin, in the font's design coordinate system. The y coordinate of a glyph's vertical origin is the sum of the glyph's top side bearing and the top (that is, yMax) of the glyph's bounding box.

public int VerticalOriginY

Field Value

int
