Module StringFormat
The StringFormat module allows for character-by-character formatting of
strings. It imitates the SPING string drawing and string metrics
interface. The string formatting is done with specialized XML syntax
within the string. Therefore, the interface for the StringFormat module
consists of wrapper functions for the SPING string interface and
various XML tags and characters.
StringFormat functions
drawString(canvas, s, x, y, [font], [color], [angle])
stringWidth(canvas, s, [font])
fontHeight(canvas, [font])
fontAscent(canvas, [font])
fontDescent(canvas, [font])
StringFormat XML tags
- bold
- italics
- underline
- superscript
- subscript
StringFormat XML characters
Greek Letter Symbols as specified in MathML
"""
# How it works: Each tag grouping sets a flag upon entry and
# clears the flag upon exit. Each call to handle_data creates a
# StringSegment which takes on all of the characteristics specified
# by flags currently set. The greek letters can be specified as either
# α or . The are essentially transformed into
# no matter what and then there is a handler for each greek letter.
# To add or change greek letter to symbol font mappings only
# the greekchars map needs to change.
