Class FontGlyphReader

java.lang.Object

org.locationtech.jts.awt.FontGlyphReader

public class FontGlyphReader
extends Object

Provides methods to read Font glyphs for strings into Polygonal geometry.

It is suggested to use larger point sizes to render fonts glyphs, to reduce the effects of scale-dependent hints. The result geometry is in the base coordinate system of the font. The geometry can be further transformed as necessary using AffineTransformations.
