Font::TTF::EBLC(3)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Font::TTF::EBLC(3) page — it's one of the User Contributed Perl Documentation girlies ✨. This one is all about the Embeeded Bitmap Location Table, and yes, that spelling is staying exactly like that 💅.

🎀 NAME 🎀

The name is exactly Font::TTF::EBLC - Embeeded Bitmap Location Table (yes, Embeeded, bestie 🫶).

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It literally contains the sizes and glyph ranges of bitmaps, plus the offsets to glyph bitmap data in indexSubTables for EBDT. It's giving location-table main character energy.

It lowkey possibly contains glyph metrics information, too.

🔥 INSTANCE VARIABLES 🔥

Anything marked (R)ead only is read only — those get calculated from EBDT when it is 'update'-ed.

• bitmapSizeTable — an array of tables, and each table has this information:
  • indexSubTableArrayOffset (R)
  • indexTablesSize (R)
  • numberOfIndexSubTables (R)
  • colorRef
  • hori
  • vert
  • startGlyphIndex (R)
  • endGlyphIndex (R)
  • ppemX
  • ppemY
  • bitDepth
  • flags
• indexSubTableArray (R) — an array that contains range information.
• indexSubTable (R) — an array that contains offsets of EBDT table.

💖 METHODS 💖

• $t->read — reads the location information of embedded bitmap from the TTF file into memory. Iconic.
• $t->out($fh) — outputs the location information of embedded bitmap for this font.

💀 BUGS 💀

💀 bestie, real talk: only indexFormat ==1 is implemented. XML output is not supported (yet) — not me waiting for it either. 😭
