PfWideTextWidthBytes()

Calculate the width of a uint16_t string of Unicode characters

Synopsis:

#include <photon/Pf.h>
int PfWideTextWidthBytes( const char *font,
                          const uint16_t *str,
                          int len );

Arguments:

font

The name of the desired font. Use PfGenerateFontName() to create the name.

str

A uint16_t string of Unicode characters.

len

The length of the string, in bytes. If len is 0, strlen(str) is assumed.

Library:

ph

Description:

PfWideTextWidthBytes() is a convenience function that calculates the width of the given string in the given font, using the formula:

extent.lr.x - min(extent.ul.x, 0) + 1

---

This function assumes each character is represented by 2 bytes that conform to the ISO/IEC 10646-1 UCS-2 double-byte format.

---

PfWideTextWidthChars() is similar, but you give it the number of characters in the string instead of the number of bytes.

Returns:

The width of the string, or 0 if an error occurred.

Classification:
