Font::TTF::EBDT(3)

💖 Font::TTF::EBDT(3) — embedded bitmap data table energy 💖

okay so bestie, this is the Font::TTF::EBDT(3) page, and yes it’s a User Contributed Perl Documentation moment. We’re talking about the embedded bitmap data table, and it’s lowkey all about metrics + image data. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

Font::TTF::EBDT - Embeeded Bitmap Data Table

the Embeeded spelling is literally right there in the page, so we’re keeping it. no cap. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Contains the metrics and bitmap image data. That’s it, that’s the vibe: metrics and bitmap image data, together at last. 💅

💖 INSTANCE VARIABLES 💖

Only has 'bitmap' instance variable. It is an array of assosiative array keyed by glyph-id. The element is an object which consists of metric information and image data.

🎀 bitmap object 🎀

• format — Only 7 is supported.
• height
• width
• horiBearingX
• horiBearingY
• horiAdvance
• vertBearingX
• vertBearingY
• vertAdvance
• imageData

💅 METHODS 💅

🌸 $t->read 🌸

Reads the embedded bitmap data from the TTF file into memory. This routine should be called _after_ {'EBLC'}->read.

bestie, that _after_ is doing a lot of work — do the {'EBLC'}->read first, fr fr. 🫶

🔥 $t->update 🔥

Update EBLC information using EBDT data. Slay.

🎀 $t->out($fh) 🎀

Outputs the bitmap data of embedded bitmap for this font.

💀 BUGS 💀

Only Format 7 is implemented. XML output is not supported (yet).

so if you were hoping for XML output, that’s a not supported (yet) situation. 😭
