hb-buffer: HarfBuzz Manual

Description

Buffers serve a dual role in HarfBuzz; before shaping, they hold the input characters that are passed to hb_shape(), and after shaping they hold the output glyphs.

The input buffer is a sequence of Unicode codepoints, with associated attributes such as direction and script. The output buffer is a sequence of glyphs, with associated attributes such as position and cluster.

Functions hb_buffer_allocation_successful ()
hb_bool_t
hb_buffer_allocation_successful (hb_buffer_t *buffer);

Check if allocating memory for the buffer succeeded.

Returns

true if buffer memory allocation succeeded, false otherwise.

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_get_empty ()
hb_buffer_t *
hb_buffer_get_empty (void);

Fetches an empty hb_buffer_t.

Returns

The empty buffer.

[transfer full]

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_reference ()
hb_buffer_t *
hb_buffer_reference (hb_buffer_t *buffer);

Increases the reference count on buffer by one. This prevents buffer from being destroyed until a matching call to hb_buffer_destroy() is made.

[skip]

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_destroy ()
void
hb_buffer_destroy (hb_buffer_t *buffer);

Deallocate the buffer . Decreases the reference count on buffer by one. If the result is zero, then buffer and all associated resources are freed. See hb_buffer_reference().

hb_buffer_reset ()
void
hb_buffer_reset (hb_buffer_t *buffer);

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_clear_contents ()
void
hb_buffer_clear_contents (hb_buffer_t *buffer);

Similar to hb_buffer_reset(), but does not clear the Unicode functions and the replacement code point.

Since: 0.9.11

hb_buffer_pre_allocate ()
hb_bool_t
hb_buffer_pre_allocate (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                        unsigned int size);

Pre allocates memory for buffer to fit at least size number of items.

Parameters

buffer

An hb_buffer_t

 

size

Number of items to pre allocate.

  Returns

true if buffer memory allocation succeeded, false otherwise

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_add ()
void
hb_buffer_add (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
               hb_codepoint_t codepoint,
               unsigned int cluster);

Appends a character with the Unicode value of codepoint to buffer , and gives it the initial cluster value of cluster . Clusters can be any thing the client wants, they are usually used to refer to the index of the character in the input text stream and are output in hb_glyph_info_t.cluster field.

This function does not check the validity of codepoint , it is up to the caller to ensure it is a valid Unicode code point.

Parameters

buffer

An hb_buffer_t

 

codepoint

A Unicode code point.

 

cluster

The cluster value of codepoint .

 

Since: 0.9.7

hb_buffer_add_codepoints ()
void
hb_buffer_add_codepoints (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                          const hb_codepoint_t *text,
                          int text_length,
                          unsigned int item_offset,
                          int item_length);

Appends characters from text array to buffer . The item_offset is the position of the first character from text that will be appended, and item_length is the number of character. When shaping part of a larger text (e.g. a run of text from a paragraph), instead of passing just the substring corresponding to the run, it is preferable to pass the whole paragraph and specify the run start and length as item_offset and item_length , respectively, to give HarfBuzz the full context to be able, for example, to do cross-run Arabic shaping or properly handle combining marks at stat of run.

This function does not check the validity of text , it is up to the caller to ensure it contains a valid Unicode scalar values. In contrast, hb_buffer_add_utf32() can be used that takes similar input but performs sanity-check on the input.

Parameters

buffer

a hb_buffer_t to append characters to.

 

text

an array of Unicode code points to append.

[array length=text_length]

text_length

the length of the text , or -1 if it is NULL terminated.

 

item_offset

hb_buffer_append ()
void
hb_buffer_append (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                  const hb_buffer_t *source,
                  unsigned int start,
                  unsigned int end);

Append (part of) contents of another buffer to this buffer.

Parameters

buffer

An hb_buffer_t

 

source

source hb_buffer_t

 

start

start index into source buffer to copy. Use 0 to copy from start of buffer.

 

end

end index into source buffer to copy. Use UINT_MAX (or ((unsigned int) -1)) to copy to end of buffer.

 

Since: 1.5.0

hb_buffer_set_content_type ()
void
hb_buffer_set_content_type (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                            hb_buffer_content_type_t content_type);

Sets the type of buffer contents. Buffers are either empty, contain characters (before shaping), or contain glyphs (the result of shaping).

You rarely need to call this function, since a number of other functions transition the content type for you. Namely:

The above transitions are designed such that one can use a buffer in a loop of "reset : add-text : shape" without needing to ever modify the content type manually.

Parameters

buffer

An hb_buffer_t

 

content_type

The type of buffer contents to set

 

Since: 0.9.5

hb_buffer_get_content_type ()
hb_buffer_content_type_t
hb_buffer_get_content_type (const hb_buffer_t *buffer);

Fetches the type of buffer contents. Buffers are either empty, contain characters (before shaping), or contain glyphs (the result of shaping).

Returns

The type of buffer contents

Since: 0.9.5

hb_buffer_set_direction ()
void
hb_buffer_set_direction (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                         hb_direction_t direction);

Set the text flow direction of the buffer. No shaping can happen without setting buffer direction, and it controls the visual direction for the output glyphs; for RTL direction the glyphs will be reversed. Many layout features depend on the proper setting of the direction, for example, reversing RTL text before shaping, then shaping with LTR direction is not the same as keeping the text in logical order and shaping with RTL direction.

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_set_script ()
void
hb_buffer_set_script (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                      hb_script_t script);

Sets the script of buffer to script .

Script is crucial for choosing the proper shaping behaviour for scripts that require it (e.g. Arabic) and the which OpenType features defined in the font to be applied.

You can pass one of the predefined hb_script_t values, or use hb_script_from_string() or hb_script_from_iso15924_tag() to get the corresponding script from an ISO 15924 script tag.

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_set_language ()
void
hb_buffer_set_language (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                        hb_language_t language);

Sets the language of buffer to language .

Languages are crucial for selecting which OpenType feature to apply to the buffer which can result in applying language-specific behaviour. Languages are orthogonal to the scripts, and though they are related, they are different concepts and should not be confused with each other.

Use hb_language_from_string() to convert from BCP 47 language tags to hb_language_t.

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_set_length ()
hb_bool_t
hb_buffer_set_length (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                      unsigned int length);

true if buffer memory allocation succeeded, false otherwise.

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_get_length ()
unsigned int
hb_buffer_get_length (const hb_buffer_t *buffer);

hb_buffer_set_unicode_funcs (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                             hb_unicode_funcs_t *unicode_funcs);

Sets the Unicode-functions structure of a buffer to unicode_funcs .

Parameters

hb_glyph_info_t *
hb_buffer_get_glyph_infos (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                           unsigned int *length);

Returns buffer glyph information array. Returned pointer is valid as long as buffer contents are not modified.

Parameters

buffer

An hb_buffer_t

 

length

The output-array length.

[out] Returns

The buffer glyph information array. The value valid as long as buffer has not been modified.

[transfer none][array length=length]

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_get_glyph_positions ()
hb_glyph_position_t *
hb_buffer_get_glyph_positions (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                               unsigned int *length);

Returns buffer glyph position array. Returned pointer is valid as long as buffer contents are not modified.

If buffer did not have positions before, the positions will be initialized to zeros, unless this function is called from within a buffer message callback (see hb_buffer_set_message_func()), in which case NULL is returned.

Returns

The buffer glyph position array. The value valid as long as buffer has not been modified.

[transfer none][array length=length]

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_set_invisible_glyph ()
void
hb_buffer_set_invisible_glyph (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                               hb_codepoint_t invisible);

Sets the hb_codepoint_t that replaces invisible characters in the shaping result. If set to zero (default), the glyph for the U+0020 SPACE character is used. Otherwise, this value is used verbatim.

Since: 2.0.0

hb_buffer_set_not_found_glyph ()
void
hb_buffer_set_not_found_glyph (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                               hb_codepoint_t not_found);

Sets the hb_codepoint_t that replaces characters not found in the font during shaping.

The not-found glyph defaults to zero, sometimes known as the ".notdef" glyph. This API allows for differentiating the two.

Since: 3.1.0

hb_buffer_set_not_found_variation_selector_glyph ()
void
hb_buffer_set_not_found_variation_selector_glyph
                               (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                                hb_codepoint_t not_found_variation_selector);

Sets the hb_codepoint_t that replaces variation-selector characters not resolved in the font during shaping.

The not-found-variation-selector glyph defaults to HB_CODEPOINT_INVALID, in which case an unresolved variation-selector will be removed from the glyph string during shaping. This API allows for changing that and retaining a glyph, such that the situation can be detected by the client and handled accordingly (e.g. by using a different font).

Since: 10.0.0

hb_buffer_get_replacement_codepoint ()
hb_codepoint_t
hb_buffer_get_replacement_codepoint (const hb_buffer_t *buffer);

Fetches the hb_codepoint_t that replaces invalid entries for a given encoding when adding text to buffer .

Since: 0.9.31

hb_buffer_set_random_state ()
void
hb_buffer_set_random_state (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                            unsigned  state);

Sets the random state of the buffer. The state changes every time a glyph uses randomness (eg. the rand OpenType feature). This function together with hb_buffer_get_random_state() allow for transferring the current random state to a subsequent buffer, to get better randomness distribution.

Defaults to 1 and when buffer contents are cleared. A value of 0 disables randomness during shaping.

Since: 8.4.0

hb_buffer_normalize_glyphs ()
void
hb_buffer_normalize_glyphs (hb_buffer_t *buffer);

Reorders a glyph buffer to have canonical in-cluster glyph order / position. The resulting clusters should behave identical to pre-reordering clusters.

This has nothing to do with Unicode normalization.

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_reverse ()
void
hb_buffer_reverse (hb_buffer_t *buffer);

Reverses buffer contents.

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_reverse_range ()

Reverses buffer contents between start and end .

Since: 0.9.41

hb_buffer_reverse_clusters ()
void
hb_buffer_reverse_clusters (hb_buffer_t *buffer);

Reverses buffer clusters. That is, the buffer contents are reversed, then each cluster (consecutive items having the same cluster number) are reversed again.

Since: 0.9.2

hb_buffer_serialize ()
unsigned int
hb_buffer_serialize (hb_buffer_t *buffer,
                     unsigned int start,
                     unsigned int end,
                     char *buf,
                     unsigned int buf_size,
                     unsigned int *buf_consumed,
                     hb_font_t *font,
                     hb_buffer_serialize_format_t format,
                     hb_buffer_serialize_flags_t flags);

Serializes buffer into a textual representation of its content, whether Unicode codepoints or glyph identifiers and positioning information. This is useful for showing the contents of the buffer, for example during debugging.

hb_buffer_t
typedef struct hb_buffer_t hb_buffer_t;

The main structure holding the input text and its properties before shaping, and output glyphs and their information after shaping.

hb_glyph_info_t
typedef struct {
  hb_codepoint_t codepoint;
  uint32_t       cluster;
} hb_glyph_info_t;

The hb_glyph_info_t is the structure that holds information about the glyphs and their relation to input text.

Members

hb_codepoint_t codepoint;

either a Unicode code point (before shaping) or a glyph index (after shaping).

 

uint32_t cluster;

the index of the character in the original text that corresponds to this hb_glyph_info_t, or whatever the client passes to hb_buffer_add(). More than one hb_glyph_info_t can have the same cluster value, if they resulted from the same character (e.g. one to many glyph substitution), and when more than one character gets merged in the same glyph (e.g. many to one glyph substitution) the hb_glyph_info_t will have the smallest cluster value of them. By default some characters are merged into the same cluster (e.g. combining marks have the same cluster as their bases) even if they are separate glyphs, hb_buffer_set_cluster_level() allow selecting more fine-grained cluster handling.

  enum hb_glyph_flags_t

Flags for hb_glyph_info_t.

Members

HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_BREAK

Indicates that if input text is broken at the beginning of the cluster this glyph is part of, then both sides need to be re-shaped, as the result might be different. On the flip side, it means that when this flag is not present, then it is safe to break the glyph-run at the beginning of this cluster, and the two sides will represent the exact same result one would get if breaking input text at the beginning of this cluster and shaping the two sides separately. This can be used to optimize paragraph layout, by avoiding re-shaping of each line after line-breaking.

 

HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT

Indicates that if input text is changed on one side of the beginning of the cluster this glyph is part of, then the shaping results for the other side might change. Note that the absence of this flag will NOT by itself mean that it IS safe to concat text. Only two pieces of text both of which clear of this flag can be concatenated safely. This can be used to optimize paragraph layout, by avoiding re-shaping of each line after line-breaking, by limiting the reshaping to a small piece around the breaking position only, even if the breaking position carries the HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_BREAK or when hyphenation or other text transformation happens at line-break position, in the following way: 1. Iterate back from the line-break position until the first cluster start position that is NOT unsafe-to-concat, 2. shape the segment from there till the end of line, 3. check whether the resulting glyph-run also is clear of the unsafe-to-concat at its start-of-text position; if it is, just splice it into place and the line is shaped; If not, move on to a position further back that is clear of unsafe-to-concat and retry from there, and repeat. At the start of next line a similar algorithm can be implemented. That is: 1. Iterate forward from the line-break position until the first cluster start position that is NOT unsafe-to-concat, 2. shape the segment from beginning of the line to that position, 3. check whether the resulting glyph-run also is clear of the unsafe-to-concat at its end-of-text position; if it is, just splice it into place and the beginning is shaped; If not, move on to a position further forward that is clear of unsafe-to-concat and retry up to there, and repeat. A slight complication will arise in the implementation of the algorithm above, because while our buffer API has a way to return flags for position corresponding to start-of-text, there is currently no position corresponding to end-of-text. This limitation can be alleviated by shaping more text than needed and looking for unsafe-to-concat flag within text clusters. The HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_BREAK flag will always imply this flag. To use this flag, you must enable the buffer flag HB_BUFFER_FLAG_PRODUCE_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT during shaping, otherwise the buffer flag will not be reliably produced. Since: 4.0.0

 

HB_GLYPH_FLAG_SAFE_TO_INSERT_TATWEEL

In scripts that use elongation (Arabic, Mongolian, Syriac, etc.), this flag signifies that it is safe to insert a U+0640 TATWEEL character before this cluster for elongation. This flag does not determine the script-specific elongation places, but only when it is safe to do the elongation without interrupting text shaping. Since: 5.1.0

All the currently defined flags.

 

Since: 1.5.0

hb_glyph_position_t

Members

hb_position_t x_advance;

how much the line advances after drawing this glyph when setting text in horizontal direction.

 

hb_position_t y_advance;

how much the line advances after drawing this glyph when setting text in vertical direction.

 

hb_position_t x_offset;

how much the glyph moves on the X-axis before drawing it, this should not affect how much the line advances.

The buffer contains output glyphs (after shaping).

  enum hb_buffer_flags_t

Flags for hb_buffer_t.

Members

HB_BUFFER_FLAG_DEFAULT

the default buffer flag.

 

HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT

flag indicating that special handling of the beginning of text paragraph can be applied to this buffer. Should usually be set, unless you are passing to the buffer only part of the text without the full context.

 

HB_BUFFER_FLAG_EOT

flag indicating that special handling of the end of text paragraph can be applied to this buffer, similar to HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT .

 

HB_BUFFER_FLAG_PRESERVE_DEFAULT_IGNORABLES

flag indication that character with Default_Ignorable Unicode property should use the corresponding glyph from the font, instead of hiding them (done by replacing them with the space glyph and zeroing the advance width.) This flag takes precedence over HB_BUFFER_FLAG_REMOVE_DEFAULT_IGNORABLES .

 

HB_BUFFER_FLAG_REMOVE_DEFAULT_IGNORABLES

flag indication that character with Default_Ignorable Unicode property should be removed from glyph string instead of hiding them (done by replacing them with the space glyph and zeroing the advance width.) HB_BUFFER_FLAG_PRESERVE_DEFAULT_IGNORABLES takes precedence over this flag. Since: 1.8.0

 

HB_BUFFER_FLAG_DO_NOT_INSERT_DOTTED_CIRCLE

flag indicating that a dotted circle should not be inserted in the rendering of incorrect character sequences (such at <0905 093E>). Since: 2.4.0

 

HB_BUFFER_FLAG_VERIFY

flag indicating that the hb_shape() call and its variants should perform various verification processes on the results of the shaping operation on the buffer. If the verification fails, then either a buffer message is sent, if a message handler is installed on the buffer, or a message is written to standard error. In either case, the shaping result might be modified to show the failed output. Since: 3.4.0

 

HB_BUFFER_FLAG_PRODUCE_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT

flag indicating that the HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT glyph-flag should be produced by the shaper. By default it will not be produced since it incurs a cost. Since: 4.0.0

 

HB_BUFFER_FLAG_PRODUCE_SAFE_TO_INSERT_TATWEEL

flag indicating that the HB_GLYPH_FLAG_SAFE_TO_INSERT_TATWEEL glyph-flag should be produced by the shaper. By default it will not be produced. Since: 5.1.0

All currently defined flags: Since: 4.4.0

 

Since: 0.9.20

enum hb_buffer_cluster_level_t

Data type for holding HarfBuzz's clustering behavior options. The cluster level dictates one aspect of how HarfBuzz will treat non-base characters during shaping.

In HB_BUFFER_CLUSTER_LEVEL_MONOTONE_GRAPHEMES , non-base characters are merged into the cluster of the base character that precedes them. There is also cluster merging every time the clusters will otherwise become non-monotone.

In HB_BUFFER_CLUSTER_LEVEL_MONOTONE_CHARACTERS , non-base characters are initially assigned their own cluster values, which are not merged into preceding base clusters. This allows HarfBuzz to perform additional operations like reorder sequences of adjacent marks. The output is still monotone, but the cluster values are more granular.

In HB_BUFFER_CLUSTER_LEVEL_CHARACTERS , non-base characters are assigned their own cluster values, which are not merged into preceding base clusters. Moreover, the cluster values are not merged into monotone order. This is the most granular cluster level, and it is useful for clients that need to know the exact cluster values of each character, but is harder to use for clients, since clusters might appear in any order.

In HB_BUFFER_CLUSTER_LEVEL_GRAPHEMES , non-base characters are merged into the cluster of the base character that precedes them. This is similar to the Unicode Grapheme Cluster algorithm, but it is not exactly the same. The output is not forced to be monotone. This is useful for clients that want to use HarfBuzz as a cheap implementation of the Unicode Grapheme Cluster algorithm.

HB_BUFFER_CLUSTER_LEVEL_MONOTONE_GRAPHEMES is the default, because it maintains backward compatibility with older versions of HarfBuzz. New client programs that do not need to maintain such backward compatibility are recommended to use HB_BUFFER_CLUSTER_LEVEL_MONOTONE_CHARACTERS instead of the default.
