freetypy.GLYPH_FORMAT¶

class freetypy.GLYPH_FORMAT¶

Describes the format of a given glyph image.

Note that this version of FreeType only supports two image formats, even though future font drivers will be able to register their own format.

NONE: The value 0 is reserved.
COMPOSITE: The glyph image is a composite of several other images. This format is only used with LOAD.NO_RECURSE, and is used to report compound glyphs (like accented characters).
BITMAP: The glyph image is a bitmap, and can be described as an Bitmap.
OUTLINE: The glyph image is a vectorial outline made of line segments and Bézier arcs; it can be described as an Outline.
PLOTTER: The glyph image is a vectorial path with no inside and outside contours. Some Type 1 fonts, like those in the Hershey family, contain glyphs in this format. These are described as Outline, but FreeType isn’t currently capable of rendering them correctly.

__init__()¶: x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature
