Note that the * implementations of these methods are inefficient, they are usually * overridden with more efficient toolkit-specific implementations. *

* Note to subclassers: 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): *

*

* * When an application asks AWT to place a character at the position * (xy), 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 baseline of the character. In normal * printing, the baselines of characters should align. *

* In addition, every character in a font has an ascent, a * descent, and an advance width. 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. *

* If the current character is placed with its reference point * at the position (xy), and * the character's advance width is w, then the following * character is placed with its reference point at the position * (+ wy). * 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. *

* 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. * @version 1.17 06/13/97 * @author Jim Graham * @see java.awt.Font * @since JDK1.0 */ public abstract class FontMetrics implements java.io.Serializable { /** * The actual font. * @see #getFont * @since JDK1.0 */ protected Font font; /* * JDK 1.1 serialVersionUID */ private static final long serialVersionUID = 1681126225205050147L; /** * Creates a new FontMetrics object for finding out * height and width information about the specified font and * specific character glyphs in that font. * @param font the font * @see java.awt.Font * @since JDK1.0 */ protected FontMetrics(Font font) { this.font = font; } /** * Gets the font described by this font metric. * @return the font described by this font metric. * @since JDK1.0 */ public Font getFont() { return font; } /** * Determines the standard leading of the font described by * this font metric.
