Hi ,
I am a new user of the font box library . I need to draw bezier curves
using data from the glyph table .
Class GlyfSimpleDescript has a method called getFlags(pointIndex)
which returns the flags at the coordinate point index pointed to by the
value of pointIndex.
But I get values like 33 , 54 etc . Please tell me what is the meaning
of these flags . The API documentation have so such details available .The
ttfdump files have a section like this
Flags
-----
0: On
1: XDual Off
2: Off
3: YDual On
4: X-Short On
5: YDual Off
6: Off
7: XDual On
8: YDual On
9: XDual Off
10: Off
11: YDual On
12: XDual Y-Short On
13: YDual Off
14: Off
15: XDual On
16: On
17: YDual X-Short On
I need to check whether the point being draw on the screen is on or off the
curve .
We have a GlyfSimpleDescript ON_CURVE constant in the library which only
returns 1 . I need to find out the on/off curve status for each of the
points , which I am not being able to find out at present .
Writing this mail after a lot of search , if I receive a reply I wish to
share it with all the other users .
Please kindly advice.
