wxFontData(3erl)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Okay so this is the manual page for wxFontData, manual-page name wxFontData, straight outta the Erlang Module Definition zone — and it is literally all about functions for the wxFontData class. Bestie, we’re learning the font-dialog data object and it’s giving main character energy. 💅✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This class holds a variety of information related to font dialogs. So wxFontData is the cute little info-holder for font-dialog stuff — a whole variety of information related to font dialogs lives here, no cap. 🫶

See: Overview cmndlg, wxFont, wxFontDialog — go peek, iykyk. 👑

🦋 DATA TYPES 🦋

One data type, periodt:

wxFontData() = wx:wx_object()

---

💅 EXPORTS 💅

Every single export is here, bestie — no skips, no crumbs. 🌸

🌈 new() -> wxFontData() 🌈

Constructor. It’s giving “make a fresh one,” and we love that for us. 🎀

Initializes fontColour to black, showHelp to false, allowSymbols to true, enableEffects to true, minSize to 0 and maxSize to 0.

🌈 new(Data) -> wxFontData() 🌈

Types:

Data = wxFontData()

Copy Constructor. Literally copy-constructor energy — it copies the data, periodt. 🫶

🌈 enableEffects(This, Enable) -> ok 🌈

Types:

This = wxFontData()
Enable = boolean()

Enables or disables "effects" under Windows or generic only. ✨

This refers to the controls for manipulating colour, strikeout and underline properties.

The default value is true.

🌈 getAllowSymbols(This) -> boolean() 🌈

Types:

This = wxFontData()

Under Windows, returns a flag determining whether symbol fonts can be selected. 🔥

Has no effect on other platforms.

The default value is true.

🌈 getChosenFont(This) -> wxFont:wxFont() 🌈

Types:
