Description

sealed class Tinman.Demo.Examples.Code.Example_PixelFont

Full source code is included in the Tinman 3D SDK download.

This example shows how to use the PixelFontBuilder class in order to generate pixel font images, which can be loaded with Graphics.LoadFontFrom to get PixelFont resources.

Public / Methods

Generate_​Alterebro

public static method Generate_Alterebro → (2)

font in : IPixelFontGlyphs own

[not-null]
The IPixelFontGlyphs object that returns the font glyphs.

output in : Path

[not-null]
The directory to write the pixel font file to.

Generates the pixel-font-pxb resource file, which is used by PixelFont.HandleSmall.

There are two built-in fonts: the bigger one is PixelFont.HandleDefault, which is based on the famous VGA Bios font; the smaller one is PixelFont.HandleSmall, which is based on a true-type font file. This example shows how to generate the latter one.
