GlyphVector.getFont() has the following syntax.
public abstract Font getFont()
In the following code shows how to use GlyphVector.getFont() method.
import java.awt.Container; import java.awt.Font; import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.Graphics2D; import java.awt.RenderingHints; import java.awt.Shape; import java.awt.font.FontRenderContext; import java.awt.font.GlyphVector; import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform; import java.awt.geom.Point2D; /* w w w . j a va 2 s . com*/ import javax.swing.JComponent; import javax.swing.JFrame; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame jf = new JFrame("Demo"); Container cp = jf.getContentPane(); MyCanvas tl = new MyCanvas(); cp.add(tl); jf.setSize(300, 200); jf.setVisible(true); } } class MyCanvas extends JComponent { public void paint(Graphics g) { Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g; g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON); String s = "www.java2s.com www.java2s.com"; Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 24); FontRenderContext frc = g2.getFontRenderContext(); g2.translate(40, 80); GlyphVector gv = font.createGlyphVector(frc, s); System.out.println(gv.getFont()); int length = gv.getNumGlyphs(); for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) { Point2D p = gv.getGlyphPosition(i); double theta = (double) i / (double) (length - 1) * Math.PI / 4; AffineTransform at = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(p.getX(), p.getY()); at.rotate(theta); Shape glyph = gv.getGlyphOutline(i); Shape transformedGlyph = at.createTransformedShape(glyph); g2.fill(transformedGlyph); } } }
