Functions

Types and Values

Includes

#include <hb-ot.h>

Description

Functions for fetching mathematics layout data from OpenType fonts.

HarfBuzz itself does not implement a math layout solution. The functions and types provided can be used by client programs to access the font data necessary for typesetting OpenType Math layout.

Functions

hb_ot_math_has_data ()

hb_bool_t
hb_ot_math_has_data (hb_face_t *face);

Tests whether a face has a MATH table.

Parameters

face

hb_face_t to test

 

Returns

true if the table is found, false otherwise

Since: 1.3.3


hb_ot_math_get_constant ()

hb_position_t
hb_ot_math_get_constant (hb_font_t *font,
                         hb_ot_math_constant_t constant);

Fetches the specified math constant. For most constants, the value returned is an hb_position_t.

However, if the requested constant is HB_OT_MATH_CONSTANT_SCRIPT_PERCENT_SCALE_DOWN, HB_OT_MATH_CONSTANT_SCRIPT_SCRIPT_PERCENT_SCALE_DOWN or HB_OT_MATH_CONSTANT_SCRIPT_PERCENT_SCALE_DOWN, then the return value is an integer between 0 and 100 representing that percentage.

Parameters

font

hb_font_t to work upon

 

constant

hb_ot_math_constant_t the constant to retrieve

 

Returns

the requested constant or zero

Since: 1.3.3


hb_ot_math_get_glyph_italics_correction ()

hb_position_t
hb_ot_math_get_glyph_italics_correction
                               (hb_font_t *font,
                                hb_codepoint_t glyph);

Fetches an italics-correction value (if one exists) for the specified glyph index.

Parameters

font

hb_font_t to work upon

 

glyph

The glyph index from which to retrieve the value

 

Returns

the italics correction of the glyph or zero

Since: 1.3.3


hb_ot_math_get_glyph_top_accent_attachment ()

hb_position_t
hb_ot_math_get_glyph_top_accent_attachment
                               (hb_font_t *font,
                                hb_codepoint_t glyph);

Fetches a top-accent-attachment value (if one exists) for the specified glyph index.

For any glyph that does not have a top-accent-attachment value - that is, a glyph not covered by the MathTopAccentAttachment table (or, when font has no MathTopAccentAttachment table or no MATH table, any glyph) - the function synthesizes a value, returning the position at one-half the glyph's advance width.

Parameters

font

hb_font_t to work upon

 

glyph

The glyph index from which to retrieve the value

 

Returns

the top accent attachment of the glyph or 0.5 * the advance width of glyph

Since: 1.3.3


hb_ot_math_get_glyph_kerning ()

hb_position_t
hb_ot_math_get_glyph_kerning (hb_font_t *font,
                              hb_codepoint_t glyph,
                              hb_ot_math_kern_t kern,
                              hb_position_t correction_height);

Fetches the math kerning (cut-ins) value for the specified font, glyph index, and kern .

If the MathKern table is found, the function examines it to find a height value that is greater or equal to correction_height . If such a height value is found, corresponding kerning value from the table is returned. If no such height value is found, the last kerning value is returned.

Parameters

font

hb_font_t to work upon

 

glyph

The glyph index from which to retrieve the value

 

kern

The hb_ot_math_kern_t from which to retrieve the value

 

correction_height

the correction height to use to determine the kerning.

 

Returns

requested kerning value or zero

Since: 1.3.3


hb_ot_math_get_glyph_kernings ()

unsigned int
hb_ot_math_get_glyph_kernings (hb_font_t *font,
                               hb_codepoint_t glyph,
                               hb_ot_math_kern_t kern,
                               unsigned int start_offset,
                               unsigned int *entries_count,
                               hb_ot_math_kern_entry_t *kern_entries);

Fetches the raw MathKern (cut-in) data for the specified font, glyph index, and kern . The corresponding list of kern values and correction heights is returned as a list of hb_ot_math_kern_entry_t structs.

See also hb_ot_math_get_glyph_kerning, which handles selecting the appropriate kern value for a given correction height.

For a glyph with n defined kern values (where n > 0), there are only n−1 defined correction heights, as each correction height defines a boundary past which the next kern value should be selected. Therefore, only the hb_ot_math_kern_entry_t.kern_value of the uppermost hb_ot_math_kern_entry_t actually comes from the font; its corresponding hb_ot_math_kern_entry_t.max_correction_height is always set to INT32_MAX.

Parameters

font

hb_font_t to work upon

 

glyph

The glyph index from which to retrieve the kernings

 

kern

The hb_ot_math_kern_t from which to retrieve the kernings

 

start_offset

offset of the first kern entry to retrieve

 

entries_count

Input = the maximum number of kern entries to return; Output = the actual number of kern entries returned.

[inout][optional]

kern_entries

array of kern entries returned.

[out caller-allocates][array length=entries_count]

Returns

the total number of kern values available or zero

Since: 3.4.0


hb_ot_math_is_glyph_extended_shape ()

hb_bool_t
hb_ot_math_is_glyph_extended_shape (hb_face_t *face,
                                    hb_codepoint_t glyph);

Tests whether the given glyph index is an extended shape in the face.

Parameters

face

hb_face_t to work upon

 

glyph

The glyph index to test

 

Returns

true if the glyph is an extended shape, false otherwise

Since: 1.3.3


hb_ot_math_get_glyph_variants ()

unsigned int

                               hb_codepoint_t glyph,
                               hb_direction_t direction,
                               unsigned int start_offset,
                               unsigned int *variants_count,
                               hb_ot_math_glyph_variant_t *variants);

direction

The direction of the stretching (horizontal or vertical)

 

start_offset

offset of the first variant to retrieve

                                      hb_direction_t direction);

Fetches the MathVariants table for the specified font and returns the minimum overlap of connecting glyphs that are required to draw a glyph assembly in the specified direction.

The direction parameter is only used to select between horizontal or vertical directions for the construction. Even though all hb_direction_t values are accepted, only the result of HB_DIRECTION_IS_HORIZONTAL is considered.
