Class Description
FontRenderContext

The FontRenderContext class is a container for the information needed to correctly measure text.

GlyphJustificationInfo

The GlyphJustificationInfo class represents information about the justification properties of a glyph.

GlyphMetrics

The GlyphMetrics class represents information for a single glyph.

GlyphVector

A GlyphVector object is a collection of glyphs containing geometric information for the placement of each glyph in a transformed coordinate space which corresponds to the device on which the GlyphVector is ultimately displayed.

GraphicAttribute

This class is used with the CHAR_REPLACEMENT attribute.

ImageGraphicAttribute

The ImageGraphicAttribute class is an implementation of GraphicAttribute which draws images in a TextLayout.

LayoutPath

LayoutPath provides a mapping between locations relative to the baseline and points in user space.

LineBreakMeasurer

The LineBreakMeasurer class allows styled text to be broken into lines (or segments) that fit within a particular visual advance.

LineMetrics

The LineMetrics class allows access to the metrics needed to layout characters along a line and to layout of a set of lines.

NumericShaper

The NumericShaper class is used to convert Latin-1 (European) digits to other Unicode decimal digits.

ShapeGraphicAttribute

The ShapeGraphicAttribute class is an implementation of GraphicAttribute that draws shapes in a TextLayout.

TextAttribute

TextLayout.CaretPolicy

Defines a policy for determining the strong caret location.

TextMeasurer

TransformAttribute

The TransformAttribute class provides an immutable wrapper for a transform so that it is safe to use as an attribute.

Enum Description
NumericShaper.Range

A NumericShaper.Range represents a Unicode range of a script having its own decimal digits.
