freetypy.Glyph_Metrics

class freetypy.Glyph_Metrics

A structure used to model the metrics of a single glyph.

Notes

If not disabled with LOAD.NO_HINTING, the values represent dimensions of the hinted glyph (in case hinting is applicable).

Stroking a glyph with an outside border does not increase horiAdvance or vertAdvance; you have to manually adjust these values to account for the added width and height.

Attributes

height	The glyph’s height.
hori_advance	Advance width for horizontal layout.
hori_bearing_x	Left side bearing for horizontal layout.
hori_bearing_y	Top side bearing for horizontal layout.
vert_advance	Advance height for vertical layout.
vert_bearing_x	Left side bearing for vertical layout.
vert_bearing_y	Top side bearing for vertical layout.
width	The glyph’s width.
