:mod:`fm` --- *Font Manager* interface ====================================== .. module:: fm :platform: IRIX :synopsis: Font Manager interface for SGI workstations. :deprecated: .. deprecated:: 2.6 The :mod:`fm` module has been deprecated for removal in Python 3.0. .. index:: single: Font Manager, IRIS single: IRIS Font Manager This module provides access to the IRIS *Font Manager* library. It is available only on Silicon Graphics machines. See also: *4Sight User's Guide*, section 1, chapter 5: "Using the IRIS Font Manager." This is not yet a full interface to the IRIS Font Manager. Among the unsupported features are: matrix operations; cache operations; character operations (use string operations instead); some details of font info; individual glyph metrics; and printer matching. It supports the following operations: .. function:: init() Initialization function. Calls :cfunc:`fminit`. It is normally not necessary to call this function, since it is called automatically the first time the :mod:`fm` module is imported. .. function:: findfont(fontname) Return a font handle object. Calls ``fmfindfont(fontname)``. .. function:: enumerate() Returns a list of available font names. This is an interface to :cfunc:`fmenumerate`. .. function:: prstr(string) Render a string using the current font (see the :func:`setfont` font handle method below). Calls ``fmprstr(string)``. .. function:: setpath(string) Sets the font search path. Calls ``fmsetpath(string)``. (XXX Does not work!?!) .. function:: fontpath() Returns the current font search path. Font handle objects support the following operations: .. method:: font handle.scalefont(factor) Returns a handle for a scaled version of this font. Calls ``fmscalefont(fh, factor)``. .. method:: font handle.setfont() Makes this font the current font. Note: the effect is undone silently when the font handle object is deleted. Calls ``fmsetfont(fh)``. .. method:: font handle.getfontname() Returns this font's name. Calls ``fmgetfontname(fh)``. .. method:: font handle.getcomment() Returns the comment string associated with this font. Raises an exception if there is none. Calls ``fmgetcomment(fh)``. .. method:: font handle.getfontinfo() Returns a tuple giving some pertinent data about this font. This is an interface to ``fmgetfontinfo()``. The returned tuple contains the following numbers: ``(printermatched, fixed_width, xorig, yorig, xsize, ysize, height, nglyphs)``. .. method:: font handle.getstrwidth(string) Returns the width, in pixels, of *string* when drawn in this font. Calls ``fmgetstrwidth(fh, string)``.
