MGL_getCharMetrics_W

Computes the character metrics for a specific wide character.

Declaration

void MGLAPI MGL_getCharMetrics_W(
    wchar_t ch,
    metrics_t *metrics)

Prototype In

mgraph.h

Parameters

ch

Wide character to measure

metrics

Place to store the resulting metrics

 

Description

This function computes the character metrics for a specific wide character. The character metrics define specific characters width, height, ascent, descent and other values. These values can then be used to correctly position the character with pixel precise positioning. This function is the same as MGL_getCharMetrics, but provides support for Unicode wide characters (for far-east languages).

All values are defined in pixels and will be as accurate as possible given the current fonts scaling factor (only vector fonts can be scaled).
