Libraries.Game.Graphics.Fonts.Line

The Line class is used to calculate the lines that need to be drawn to fill in a glyph's outline, including the points that fall on the outline itself. It scans the glyph line by line on the y-axis to find where the glyph outline begins and ends, and sets the x-intercepts accordingly. These x-intercepts/y-coordinate pairs are used in the rasterization process.

Example Code

use Libraries.Game.Graphics.Fonts.all
    use Libraries.Game.Game
    use Libraries.Containers.HashTable

    class Main is Game
        action Main
            StartGame()
        end

        action CreateGame
            Line line
            HashTable<integer, XCoordinateList> list
            // Gets the x-intercepts for a line where the pixel size is 14,
            // EM size is 2048, the vertical resolution is 1080, and the nonzero
            // value is currently 0.
            list = line:GetXInterceptsNumber(14, 14, 2048, 1080, 0)
        end
    end

This action calculates and returns the scaled coordinate position of a coordinate, as an integer.

Example Code

use Libraries.Game.Graphics.Fonts.all
        use Libraries.Game.Game

        class Main is Game
            action Main
                StartGame()
            end

            action CreateGame
                Line line
                output line:CalculateCoordinate(100, 12, 2048, 1080)
            end
        end

This action calculates and returns the scaled coordinate position of a coordinate, as a number.

Example Code

use Libraries.Game.Graphics.Fonts.all
        use Libraries.Game.Game

        class Main is Game
            action Main
                StartGame()
            end

            action CreateGame
                Line line
                output line:CalculateCoordinateNumber(100, 12, 2048, 1080)
            end
        end

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Example Code

Object o
        Object t
        integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Example Code

use Libraries.Language.Object
        use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
        Object o
        Text t
        boolean result = o:Equals(t)

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

This action returns the starting x-coordinate of the line.

Example Code

use Libraries.Game.Graphics.Fonts.all
        use Libraries.Game.Game

        class Main is Game
            action Main
                StartGame()
            end

            action CreateGame
                Line line
                output line:GetX1()
            end
        end

This action returns the ending x-coordinate of the line.

Example Code

        use Libraries.Game.Game

        class Main is Game
            action Main

            end

            action CreateGame
                Line line
                output line:GetX2()
            end
        end

This action finds all of the x-intercepts for a scanline along the y-axis, and then returns a hash table of these intercepts.

        use Libraries.Game.Game
        use Libraries.Containers.HashTable

                StartGame()
            end

            action CreateGame
                Line line
                HashTable<integer, XCoordinateList> list
                // Gets the x-intercepts for a line where the pixel size is 14,
                // EM size is 2048, the vertical resolution is 1080, and the nonzero
                // value is currently 0.
                list = line:GetXInterceptsNumber(14, 14, 2048, 1080, 0)
