Class Font

java.lang.Object
  nextapp.echo2.app.Font
      com.sptci.echo2.style.Font

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class Font
extends Font

A custom font class to use in styles. This class by default uses TYPEFACE as the Font.Typeface and ensures consistent font typeface across the application. It is recomended that you use the getInstance() method or its overloaded derivatives to avoid replication across sessions.

The following shows the recommended way to use this class:

   import com.sptci.echo2.style.Extent;
   import com.sptci.echo2.style.Font;

     ...
     Font normalFont = Font.getInstance();
     Font largeFont = Font.getInstance( Extent.getInstance( 14 ) );
     Font boldFont = Font.getInstance( Font.BOLD );

Method Detail

getInstance

public static Font getInstance()

Factory method to use to retrieve the cached default font instance.

See Also:

getInstance( int, Extent )

getInstance

public static Font getInstance(Extent size)

Factory method to use to retrieve a cached font instance.

Note: This method can be refactored to delegate to getInstance( Font.Typeface, Extent ), however has been left as a separate implementation to avoid the lookup process involved in getKey(nextapp.echo2.app.Extent).

Parameters:

size - The font size to use.

See Also:

getKey( Extent ), defaultCache

getInstance

public static Font getInstance(int style)

Factory method to use to retrieve a cached font instance.

Parameters:

style - The style to use for the font. Styles are usually specified using the constants in the Font class.

See Also:

getInstance( int, Extent )

getInstance

public static Font getInstance(int style,
                               Extent size)

Factory method to use to retrieve a cached font instance.

Note: This method can be refactored to delegate to getInstance( Font.Typeface, int, Extent ), however has been left as a separate implementation to avoid the normalisation process involved in getKey(nextapp.echo2.app.Extent).

Parameters:

style - The style to use for the font. Styles are usually specified using the constants in the Font class.

size - The font size to use.

See Also:

getKey( int, Extent ), defaultCache
