- * A font metrics object, which gives information about the rendering
- * of a particular font on a particular screen. Note that the
- * implementations of these methods are inefficient, they are usually
- * overridden with more efficient toolkit-specific implementations.
- * <p>
- * <b>Note to subclassers</b>: Since many of these methods form closed
- * mutually recursive loops, you must take care that you implement
- * at least one of the methods in each such loop in order to prevent
- * infinite recursion when your subclass is used.
- * In particular, the following is the minimal suggested set of methods
- * to override in order to ensure correctness and prevent infinite
- * recursion (though other subsets are equally feasible):
- * <ul>
- * <li><a href="#getAscent">getAscent</a>()
- * <li><a href="#getAscent">getDescent</a>()
- * <li><a href="#getLeading">getLeading</a>()
- * <li><a href="#getMaxAdvance">getMaxAdvance</a>()
- * <li><a href="#charWidth(char)">charWidth</a>(char ch)
- * <li><a href="#charsWidth(char[], int, int)">charsWidth</a>(char data[], int off, int len)
- * </ul>
- * <p>
- * <img src="images-awt/FontMetrics-1.gif" border=15 align
- * ALIGN=right HSPACE=10 VSPACE=7>
- * When an application asks AWT to place a character at the position
- * (<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>), the character is placed so that its
- * reference point (shown as the dot in the accompanying image) is
- * put at that position. The reference point specifies a horizontal
- * line called the <i>baseline</i> of the character. In normal
- * printing, the baselines of characters should align.
- * <p>
- * In addition, every character in a font has an <i>ascent</i>, a
- * <i>descent</i>, and an <i>advance width</i>. The ascent is the
- * amount by which the character ascends above the baseline. The
- * descent is the amount by which the character descends below the
- * baseline. The advance width indicates the position at which AWT
- * should place the next character.
- * <p>
- * If the current character is placed with its reference point
- * at the position (<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>), and
- * the character's advance width is <i>w</i>, then the following
- * character is placed with its reference point at the position
- * (<i>x </i><code>+</code><i> w</i>, <i>y</i>).
- * The advance width is often the same as the width of character's
- * bounding box, but need not be so. In particular, oblique and
- * italic fonts often have characters whose top-right corner extends
- * slightly beyond the advance width.
- * <p>
- * An array of characters or a string can also have an ascent, a
- * descent, and an advance width. The ascent of the array is the
- * maximum ascent of any character in the array. The descent is the
- * maximum descent of any character in the array. The advance width
- * is the sum of the advance widths of each of the characters in the
- * array.
