public class Font3D

extends java.lang.Object

The Font3D object is used to store extruded 2D glyphs. These 3D glyphs can then be used to contruct Text3D NodeComponent objects. Custom 3D fonts as well as methods to store 3D fonts to disk will be addressed in a future release.

A 3D Font consists of a Java 2D font and an extrusion path. The extrusion path describes how the edge of a glyph varies in the Z axis.

Constructor Detail

Font3D

public Font3D(java.awt.Font font,
              FontExtrusion extrudePath)

Creates a Font3D object from the specified Font object. The FontExtrusion object contains the extrusion path to use on the 2D Font glyphs. To ensure correct rendering the font must be created with the default AffineTransform. Passing null for the FontExtrusion parameter results in no extrusion being done.

Parameters:

font - the Java 2D font used to create the 3D font object.

extrudePath - the extrusion path used to describe how the edge of the font varies along the Z axis.

Method Detail

getFont

public java.awt.Font getFont()

Returns the Java 2D Font used to create this Font3D object.

Returns:

Font object used by this Font3D

getFontExtrusion

public void getFontExtrusion(FontExtrusion extrudePath)

Copies the FontExtrusion object used to create this Font3D object into the specified parameter.

getBounds

public Bounds getBounds(int glyphCode)

Deprecated. use getBoundingBox instead.

getBoundingBox

public final void getBoundingBox(int glyphCode,
                                 BoundingBox bounds)

Returns the 3D bounding box of the specified glyph code.

Parameters:

glyphCode - the glyphCode from the original 2D Font.

the - 3D glyph's bounds.
