The FontRenderContext class is a container for the information needed to correctly measure text. The measurement of text can vary because of rules that map outlines to pixels, and rendering hints provided by an application.

One such piece of information is a transform that scales typographical points to pixels. (A point is defined to be exactly 1/72 of an inch, which is slightly different than the traditional mechanical measurement of a point.) A character that is rendered at 12pt on a 600dpi device might have a different size than the same character rendered at 12pt on a 72dpi device because of such factors as rounding to pixel boundaries and hints that the font designer may have specified.

Anti-aliasing and Fractional-metrics specified by an application can also affect the size of a character because of rounding to pixel boundaries.

Typically, instances of FontRenderContext are obtained from a Graphics2D object. A FontRenderContext which is directly constructed will most likely not represent any actual graphics device, and may lead to unexpected or incorrect results. @see java.awt.RenderingHints#KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING @see java.awt.RenderingHints#KEY_FRACTIONALMETRICS @see java.awt.Graphics2D#getFontRenderContext() @see java.awt.font.LineMetrics

Constructs a FontRenderContext object from an optional AffineTransform and two boolean values that determine if the newly constructed object has anti-aliasing or fractional metrics. In each case the boolean values true and false correspond to the rendering hint values ON and OFF respectively.

To specify other hint values, use the constructor which specifies the rendering hint values as parameters : FontRenderContext(AffineTransform, Object, Object).

Params:
  • tx – the transform which is used to scale typographical points to pixels in this FontRenderContext. If null, an identity transform is used.
  • isAntiAliased – determines if the newly constructed object has anti-aliasing.
  • usesFractionalMetrics – determines if the newly constructed object has fractional metrics.
