Libgdx computeGlyphAdvancesAndPositions does not exist
I animate text in Libgdx. Try to do something similar
font1 = new BitmapFont(Gdx.files.internal("fontLabel/fonty.fnt"), false);
font1.getRegion().getTexture()
.setFilter(Texture.TextureFilter.Linear, Texture.TextureFilter.Linear);
touchPos = new Vector3();
listchar = new TextButton[pause.length()];
advances = new FloatArray();
post = new FloatArray();
font1.computeGlyphAdvancesAndPositions(pause, advances, post);
But computeGlyphAdvancesAndPositions
doesn’t quit, what to do?
Edit
I read this blog post which says to use GlyphLayout
, but I don’t know how? GlyphLayout
did not accept the parameters I wanted to give
I wanted to do something like animation in this video, the old source code is here but as mentioned above, it no longer works because of the part I highlighted.

Solution
Since version 1.5.6 libGDX
methods BitmapFont.computeGlyphAdvancesAndPositions
was removed GlyphLayout
.
BitmapFont.computeGlyphAdvancesAndPositions
returns 2 arrays containing the progress and position of the characters for the given CharSequence
.
To retrieve the same information using GlyphLayout
:
Create a
GlyphLayout
object and set the desired font and text:GlyphLayout layout = new GlyphLayout(); layout.setText(font, text);
The provided text will be split into “Run” based on line breaks; Without a newline character, the entire text is stored the first time it runs:
GlyphRun run = layout.runs.get(0);
GlyphRun
ContainsxAdvances
, which is comparable to the advances array returnedby BitmapFont.computeGlyphAdvancesAndPositions
; The difference is that the first position of the array contains an X offset relative to the plot position, while the actual forward width of the i-th character is inthe i-th
+ 1
array element:float startingOffset = run.xAdvances.get(0); float ithAdvance = run.xAdvances.get(i + 1);
position of individual characters in the text is no longer readily available, but we can get them by adding advances in the preceding characters :
float[] positions = new float[text.length()]; for (int i = 0; i < positions.length; i++) { if (i == 0) { first position is the starting offset positions[0] = run.xAdvances.get(0); } else { current position is the previous position plus its advance positions[i] = positions[i - 1] + run.xAdvances.get(i); } }
Unfortunately, the
Summary:
advances.get(i)
is replaced withrun.xAdvances.get(i + 1).
post.get(i)
is replaced withpositions[i]
, as shown earlier (or equivalently).
