Libraries.Game.Graphics.Glyph Documentation

The Glyph class represents a text character that is drawn as part of a Font. It contains all important information for a character of text. This is used internally by the Font class, and most users will never need to interface with this class directly.

Inherits from: Libraries.Language.Object

Variables Table

VariablesDescription
integer verticalAdvanceThe amount of vertical distance between this character and the next.
Libraries.Game.Graphics.Color colorThe color of this glyph, or undefined if none is set for this character.
Libraries.Game.Graphics.TextureRegion textureA TextureRegion that contains the image of the text character. This can be undefined if the character has no visual appearance, e.g. a space.
integer lengthToGlyphThe amount of white space that precedes the beginning of the drawable.
integer heightFromBaseLineHow tall the glyph is, relative to the font's base line.
integer horizontalAdvanceThe amount of horizontal distance between this character and the next.

Actions Documentation

Compare(Libraries.Language.Object object)

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.

Parameters

Return

integer: The Compare result, Smaller, Equal, or Larger.

Example

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

Equals(Libraries.Language.Object object)

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

Parameters

Return

boolean: True if the hash codes are equal and false if they are not equal.

Example

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

GetHashCode()

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Return

integer: The integer hash code of the object.

Example

Object o
integer hash = o:GetHashCode()
