11 Standard font families: these are used mainly during wxFont creation to specify
12 the generic properties of the font without hardcoding in the sources a specific
15 wxFontFamily thus allows to group the font face names of fonts with similar
16 properties. Most wxWidgets ports use lists of fonts for each font family

272 A font is an object which determines the appearance of text.
273 Fonts are used for drawing text to a device context, and setting the appearance
276 This class uses @ref overview_refcount "reference counting and copy-on-write"
277 internally so that assignments between two instances of this class are very
278 cheap. You can therefore use actual objects instead of pointers without
279 efficiency problems. If an instance of this class is changed it will create
280 its own data internally so that other instances, which previously shared the
281 data using the reference counting, are not affected.
283 You can retrieve the current system font settings with wxSystemSettings.

400 Creates a font object using font flags.
402 This constructor is similar to the constructors above except it
403 specifies the font styles such as underlined, italic, bold, ... in a
404 single @a flags argument instead of using separate arguments for them.
405 This parameter can be a combination of ::wxFontFlag enum elements.
406 The meaning of the remaining arguments is the same as in the other
407 constructors, please see their documentation for details.
409 Notice that this constructor provides the only way of creating fonts
410 with strike-through style.

419 Constructor from font description string.
421 This constructor uses SetNativeFontInfo() to initialize the font.
422 If @a fontdesc is invalid the font remains uninitialized, i.e. its IsOk() method
425 wxFont(const wxString
& nativeInfoString
);
428 Construct font from a native font info structure.
430 wxFont(const wxNativeFontInfo
& nativeInfo
);
435 See @ref overview_refcount_destruct "reference-counted object destruction"
438 @remarks Although all remaining fonts are deleted when the application
439 exits, the application should try to clean up all fonts
440 itself. This is because wxWidgets cannot know if a
441 pointer to the font object is stored in an application
442 data structure, and there is a risk of double deletion.
453 Returns the encoding of this font.
455 Note that under wxGTK the returned value is always @c wxFONTENCODING_UTF8.
459 virtual wxFontEncoding
GetEncoding() const;
462 Returns the face name associated with the font, or the empty string if
463 there is no face information.
467 virtual wxString
GetFaceName() const;
470 Gets the font family if possible.
472 As described in ::wxFontFamily docs the returned value acts as a rough,
473 basic classification of the main font properties (look, spacing).
475 If the current font face name is not recognized by wxFont or by the
476 underlying system, @c wxFONTFAMILY_DEFAULT is returned.
478 Note that currently this function is not very precise and so not
479 particularly useful. Font families mostly make sense only for font
480 creation, see SetFamily().
484 virtual wxFontFamily
GetFamily() const;
487 Returns the platform-dependent string completely describing this font.
489 Returned string is always non-empty unless the font is invalid (in
490 which case an assert is triggered).
492 Note that the returned string is not meant to be shown or edited by the user: a
493 typical use of this function is for serializing in string-form a wxFont object.
495 @see SetNativeFontInfo(), GetNativeFontInfoUserDesc()
497 wxString
GetNativeFontInfoDesc() const;
500 Returns a user-friendly string for this font object.
502 Returned string is always non-empty unless the font is invalid (in
503 which case an assert is triggered).
505 The string does not encode all wxFont infos under all platforms;
506 e.g. under wxMSW the font family is not present in the returned string.
508 Some examples of the formats of returned strings (which are platform-dependent)
509 are in SetNativeFontInfoUserDesc().

528 a wxSize object with a null width value, you'll get a null width in
533 virtual wxSize
GetPixelSize() const;
536 Gets the font style. See ::wxFontStyle for a list of valid styles.
540 virtual wxFontStyle
GetStyle() const;
543 Returns @true if the font is underlined, @false otherwise.
547 virtual bool GetUnderlined() const;
550 Returns @true if the font is stricken-through, @false otherwise.
552 @see SetStrikethrough()
556 virtual bool GetStrikethrough() const;
559 Gets the font weight. See ::wxFontWeight for a list of valid weight identifiers.
563 virtual wxFontWeight
GetWeight() const;
566 Returns @true if the font is a fixed width (or monospaced) font,
567 @false if it is a proportional one or font is invalid.
569 Note that this function under some platforms is different than just testing
570 for the font family being equal to @c wxFONTFAMILY_TELETYPE because native
571 platform-specific functions are used for the check (resulting in a more
572 accurate return value).
574 virtual bool IsFixedWidth() const;
577 Returns @true if this object is a valid font, @false otherwise.

603 Returns an italic version of this font.
609 wxFont
Italic() const;
612 Returns a larger version of this font.

771 in the user's system then the font is invalidated (so that IsOk() will
772 return @false) and @false is returned.
774 @see GetFaceName(), SetFamily()
776 virtual bool SetFaceName(const wxString
& faceName
);
779 Sets the font family.
781 As described in ::wxFontFamily docs the given @a family value acts as a rough,
782 basic indication of the main font properties (look, spacing).
784 Note that changing the font family results in changing the font face name.
787 One of the ::wxFontFamily values.
789 @see GetFamily(), SetFaceName()
791 virtual void SetFamily(wxFontFamily family
);
794 Creates the font corresponding to the given native font description string
795 which must have been previously returned by GetNativeFontInfoDesc().
797 If the string is invalid, font is unchanged.
798 This function is typically used for de-serializing a wxFont object
799 previously saved in a string-form.
801 @return @true if the creation was successful.
803 @see SetNativeFontInfoUserDesc()
805 bool SetNativeFontInfo(const wxString
& info
);
808 Creates the font corresponding to the given native font description string and
809 returns @true if the creation was successful.
811 Unlike SetNativeFontInfo(), this function accepts strings which are user-friendly.
812 Examples of accepted string formats are:
815 @hdr3col{platform, generic syntax, example}
816 @row3col{wxGTK2, <tt>[FACE-NAME] [bold] [oblique|italic] [POINTSIZE]</tt>, Monospace bold 10}
817 @row3col{wxMSW, <tt>[light|bold] [italic] [FACE-NAME] [POINTSIZE] [ENCODING]</tt>, Tahoma 10 WINDOWS-1252}
820 @todo add an example for wxMac
822 For more detailed information about the allowed syntaxes you can look at the
823 documentation of the native API used for font-rendering
824 (e.g. @c pango_font_description_from_string on GTK).
826 Note that unlike SetNativeFontInfo(), this function doesn't always restore all
827 attributes of the wxFont object under all platforms; e.g. on wxMSW the font family
828 is not restored (because GetNativeFontInfoUserDesc doesn't return it on wxMSW).
829 If you want to serialize/deserialize a font in string form, you should use
830 GetNativeFontInfoDesc() and SetNativeFontInfo() instead.
832 @see SetNativeFontInfo()
834 bool SetNativeFontInfoUserDesc(const wxString
& info
);
836 void SetNativeFontInfo(const wxNativeFontInfo
& info
);
841 The <em>point size</em> is defined as 1/72 of the anglo-Saxon inch
842 (25.4 mm): it is approximately 0.0139 inch or 352.8 um.
849 virtual void SetPointSize(int pointSize
);
854 The height parameter of @a pixelSize must be positive while the width
855 parameter may also be zero (to indicate that you're not interested in the
856 width of the characters: a suitable width will be chosen for best rendering).
858 This feature (specifying the font pixel size) is directly supported only
859 under wxMSW and wxGTK currently; under other platforms a font with the
860 closest size to the given one is found using binary search (this maybe slower).
864 virtual void SetPixelSize(const wxSize
& pixelSize
);
870 One of the ::wxFontStyle enumeration values.
874 virtual void SetStyle(wxFontStyle style
);
877 Sets the font size using a predefined symbolic size name.
879 This function allows to change font size to be (very) large or small
880 compared to the standard font size.
882 @see SetSymbolicSizeRelativeTo().
886 void SetSymbolicSize(wxFontSymbolicSize size
);
889 Sets the font size compared to the base font size.
891 This is the same as SetSymbolicSize() except that it uses the given
892 font size as the normal font size instead of the standard font size.
896 void SetSymbolicSizeRelativeTo(wxFontSymbolicSize size
, int base
);
902 @true to underline, @false otherwise.
906 virtual void SetUnderlined(bool underlined
);
909 Sets strike-through attribute of the font.
911 Currently stricken-through fonts are only supported in wxMSW and wxGTK.
914 @true to add strike-through style, @false to remove it.
916 @see GetStrikethrough()
920 virtual void SetStrikethrough(bool strikethrough
);
923 Sets the font weight.
926 One of the ::wxFontWeight values.
930 virtual void SetWeight(wxFontWeight weight
);
938 See @ref overview_refcount_equality "reference-counted object comparison" for
941 bool operator!=(const wxFont
& font
) const;
