Interface BitmappedFont

All Superinterfaces:

PrinterFont

public interface BitmappedFont
extends PrinterFont

The BitmappedFont interface represents a bitmapped printer font. These types of fonts are fixed in size but their height and width can be altered independently by using a height or width multiplying factor.

Example: Using a bitmapped font to print text

 
 
        Connector connector = Connector.getInstance();
 
        DriverInfo[] printers = connector.listDrivers(ConnectionType.PRINTER);
        PrinterParameters parameters = new PrinterParameters(printers[0]);

        parameters.setPrinterMode(PrinterParameters.LINE_MODE);
        LinePrinter printer = (LinePrinter)connector.open(parameters);
                
        PrinterFont[] fonts = printer.listFonts(0, PrinterFont.FONTTYPE_BITMAPPED, 0);
        if (fonts.length > 0) {
                BitmappedFont bitmapFont = (BitmappedFont)fonts[0];
                bitmapFont.setHeightFactor(2);   // increase height by twice it's normal size
                        
                printer.printText(bitmapFont, "Bitmapped font", LinePrinter.NO_ALIGNMENT);
        }
                
        printer.doPrint(1);
        printer.close();

Method Detail

setWidthFactor

void setWidthFactor(int xFactor)
                    throws PrinterException

Sets the width factor used to increase the standard width of the font. The valid range for the width factor value is from 1-10. A value greater than 10 will be trated as 10. A value less than 1 will be trated as 1.

Parameters:

xFactor - the width factor

Throws:

PrinterException - thrown if parameter value is out of range

setHeightFactor

void setHeightFactor(int yFactor)
                     throws PrinterException

Sets the height factor used to increase the standard height of the font. The valid range for the height factor value is from 1-10. A value greater than 10 will be trated as 10. A value less than 1 will be trated as 1.

Parameters:

yFactor - the height factor

Throws:

PrinterException - thrown if parameter value is out of range

getWidthFactor

int getWidthFactor()

Returns the width factor used to increase the standard width of the font.

Returns:

The width factor.

getHeightFactor

int getHeightFactor()

Returns the height factor used to increase the standard height of the font.

Returns:

The height factor.
