DWRITE_GLYPH_OFFSET structure (dwrite.h)

  • Article

The optional adjustment to a glyph's position.

Syntax

struct DWRITE_GLYPH_OFFSET {
  FLOAT advanceOffset;
  FLOAT ascenderOffset;
};

Members

advanceOffset

Type: FLOAT

The offset in the advance direction of the run. A positive advance offset moves the glyph to the right (in pre-transform coordinates) if the run is left-to-right or to the left if the run is right-to-left.

ascenderOffset

Type: FLOAT

The offset in the ascent direction, that is, the direction ascenders point. A positive ascender offset moves the glyph up (in pre-transform coordinates). A negative ascender offset moves the glyph down.

Remarks

An glyph offset changes the position of a glyph without affecting the pen position. Offsets are in logical, pre-transform units.
