`matplotlib._type1font`#

A class representing a Type 1 font.

This version reads pfa and pfb files and splits them for embedding in pdf files. It also supports SlantFont and ExtendFont transformations, similarly to pdfTeX and friends.

Usage:

font = Type1Font(filename)
clear_part, encrypted_part, finale = font.parts
slanted_font = font.transform({'slant': 0.167})
extended_font = font.transform({'extend': 1.2})
subset_font = font.subset([ord(c) for c in 'Hello World'])

class matplotlib._type1font.Type1Font(input)[source]#

Bases: object

A class representing a Type-1 font, for use by backends.

Attributes:

partstuple

A 3-tuple of the cleartext part, the encrypted part, and the finale of zeros.

decryptedbytes

The decrypted form of parts[1].

propdict[str, Any]

A dictionary of font properties. Noteworthy keys include:

FontName: PostScript name of the font
Encoding: dict from numeric codes to glyph names
FontMatrix: bytes object encoding a matrix
UniqueID: optional font identifier, dropped when modifying the font
CharStrings: dict from glyph names to byte code
Subrs: array of byte code subroutines
OtherSubrs: bytes object encoding some PostScript code

Initialize a Type-1 font.

Parameters:

inputstr or 3-tuple: Either a pfb file name, or a 3-tuple of already-decoded Type-1 font parts.

prop#

subset(characters, name_prefix)[source]#

Return a new font that only defines the given characters.

Parameters:

characterssequence of bytes: The subset of characters to include. These are indices into the font's encoding array. The encoding array of a Type-1 font can only include 256 characters, but other glyphs may be accessed via the seac operator.
name_prefixstr: Prefix to prepend to the font name.

Returns:

Type1Font

transform(effects)[source]#

Return a new font that is slanted and/or extended.

Parameters:

effectsdict

A dict with optional entries:

'slant'float, default: 0
Tangent of the angle that the font is to be slanted to the right. Negative values slant to the left.
'extend'float, default: 1
Scaling factor for the font width. Values less than 1 condense the glyphs.

Returns:

Type1Font

with_encoding(encoding)[source]#

Change the encoding of the font.

Parameters:

encodingdict: A dictionary mapping character codes to glyph names.

Returns:

Type1Font
