GetGlyphsInRangeGlyphsCharacterIndexesGlyphInscriptionsElasticBitsBidiLevels Method (glyphRange, glyphBuffer, charIndexBuffer, inscribeBuffer, elasticBuffer, bidiLevelBuffer)

Returns the glyphs and information needed to perform layout for the given glyph range.

Original signature is '- (NSUInteger)getGlyphsInRange:(NSRange)glyphRange glyphs:(NSGlyph *)glyphBuffer characterIndexes:(NSUInteger *)charIndexBuffer glyphInscriptions:(NSGlyphInscription *)inscribeBuffer elasticBits:(BOOL *)elasticBuffer bidiLevels:(unsigned char *)bidiLevelBuffer'

Available in Mac OS X v10.2 and later.

public:
virtual NSUInteger GetGlyphsInRangeGlyphsCharacterIndexesGlyphInscriptionsElasticBitsBidiLevels(
	NSRange glyphRange, 
	IntPtr glyphBuffer, 
	[OutAttribute] NSUInteger% charIndexBuffer, 
	IntPtr inscribeBuffer, 
	[OutAttribute] bool% elasticBuffer, 
	IntPtr bidiLevelBuffer
)

Parameters

glyphRange (NSRange): The range of glyphs to lay out.

glyphBuffer (IntPtr): On output, the sequence of glyphs needed to lay out the given glyph range.

charIndexBuffer (NSUInteger%): On output, the indexes of the original characters corresponding to the given glyph range. Note that a glyph at index 1 is not necessarily mapped to the character at index 1, since a glyph may be for a ligature or accent.

inscribeBuffer (IntPtr): On output, the inscription attributes for each glyph, which are used to lay out characters that are combined together. The possible values are described in “Constants.”

elasticBuffer (Boolean%): On output, values indicating whether a glyph is elastic for each glyph. An elastic glyph can be made longer at the end of a line or when needed for justification.

bidiLevelBuffer (IntPtr): On output, the direction of each glyph for bidirectional text. The values range from 0 to 61 as defined by Unicode Standard Annex #9. An even value means the glyph goes left-to-right, and an odd value means the glyph goes right-to-left.

Return Value

The number of glyphs returned in glyphBuffer.
