Font Renderer¶

Principle¶

The Font Renderer is a module of the MicroUI runtime that reads and draws the fonts.

Functional Description¶

The Graphics Engine redirects all MicroUI font drawings to the internal software algorithms. There is no indirection to a set of Abstraction Layer API.

digraph {

graph [
overlap=false
splines=true
nodesep=0.5
ranksep=0.5
bgcolor="transparent"
center=1
];

node [
fixedsize=true,
fontname="Ubuntu"
fontsize=14
fontcolor=dimgray
height=0.5
width=2.5
shape=box
fillcolor=aliceblue
color="lightblue"
style="filled,setlinewidth(3)",
];

edge [
arrowsize=0.8
];

app [label="Painter API"]
stack [label="Graphics Engine"]
algo [label="Software Algorithms"]
hard [label="hardware"]

app -> stack -> algo -> hard
}

Installation¶

The Font Renderer is part of the MicroUI module and Display module. You must install them in order to be able to use some fonts.

Use¶

The MicroUI font APIs are available in the class ej.microui.display.Font.
