Detailed Description

Render text as a polygon outline.

Text is drawn as an outline of each glyph. The contours are extracted from the font file through FreeType. FreeType is used to scale the contours to a given size. Usually the outline is drawn in the foreground color, however, you can specify a ColorTess object to provide a color for each vertex individually. You can also use the per-glyph display list functionality to alter the attributes of each glyph.

The only complexity to this style is selecting the point size. Since the outlines are drawn as a polygon, they are subject to the MODELVIEW transformation. The point size is nominally chosen to be the same as a raster image generated at the given resolution. Some experimentation with point size and resolution may be necessary to achieve the desired results.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OGLFT::Outline::Outline	(	const char *	filename,
		float	point_size = 12,
		FT_UInt	resolution = 100
	)

Parameters

filename	the filename which contains the font face.
point_size	the initial point size of the font to generate. A point is essentially 1/72th of an inch. Defaults to 12.
resolution	the pixel density of the display in dots per inch (DPI). Defaults to 100 DPI.

Definition at line 2238 of file moOGLFT.cpp.

OGLFT::Outline::Outline	(	FT_Face	face,
		float	point_size = 12,
		FT_UInt	resolution = 100
	)

Parameters

face	open FreeType FT_Face.
point_size	the initial point size of the font to generate. A point is essentially 1/72th of an inch. Defaults to 12.
resolution	the pixel density of the display in dots per inch (DPI). Defaults to 100 DPI.
