Member Function Documentation

Font()

GlsFontBase * Font	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string &	style,
		GLuint	ptSize
	)		const

Retrieve the specified font object.

Parameters

name	font family name, eg. Arial
style	font style, eg. Bold
ptSize	point size

Returns

a pointer to the font object, or 0 if the font has not been registered with the factory.

Instance()

static GlsFontMan & Instance ( )

static

Returns

A reference to the singleton factory object.

Register()

void Register

(

GlsFontBase *

font

)

Register the specified font object.

Parameters

font	font object

Release()

void Release

(

GlsFontBase *

font

)

Notify the font manager that the particular font is no longer being used by the caller so that its reference count can be managed. The font's reference count will be decremented by 1 and if there are no longer any users, the font object will be deleted. Only use Release subsequent to using the Use call or the reference counting will not work.

Parameters

font	font object

Use()

void Use

(

GlsFontBase *

font

)

Notify the font manager that the particular font is being used so that its reference count can be managed. If the font is not already being managed, it will be added to the manager's font repository first. The font's reference count will be incremented by 1. The Use and Release reference counting methods are separate from the Font and Register methods so that reference counting of fonts can be optional. For example, reference counting may be necessary in the GL Studio editor but not desired at run-time.

Parameters

font	font object
