CTRunDelegate

A run delegate.

Overview

A run delegate is assigned to a run (attribute range) to control typographic traits such glyph ascent, glyph descent, and glyph width.

The callbacks defined for CTRunDelegate objects are provided by the owner of a run delegate and are used to modify glyph metrics during layout. The values returned by the delegate are applied to each glyph in the run or runs corresponding to the attribute with that delegate.

Topics

Creating a Run Delegate

func CTRunDelegateCreate(UnsafePointer<CTRunDelegateCallbacks>, UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) -> CTRunDelegate?

Creates an immutable instance of a run delegate.

Getting Information About a Run Delegate

func CTRunDelegateGetRefCon(CTRunDelegate) -> UnsafeMutableRawPointer

Returns a run delegate’s “refCon” value.

func CTRunDelegateGetTypeID() -> CFTypeID

Returns the type of CTRunDelegate objects.

Callbacks

typealias CTRunDelegateGetAscentCallback

Defines a pointer to a function that determines typographic ascent of glyphs in the run.

typealias CTRunDelegateGetDescentCallback

Defines a pointer to a function that determines typographic descent of glyphs in the run.

typealias CTRunDelegateGetWidthCallback

Defines a pointer to a function that determines the typographic width of glyphs in the run.

typealias CTRunDelegateDeallocateCallback

Defines a pointer to a function that is invoked when a CTRunDelegate object is deallocated.

Data Types

struct CTRunDelegateCallbacks

A structure holding pointers to callbacks implemented by the run delegate.

class CTRunDelegate
