DESCRIPTION
Coverage tables and class definition objects are virtually identical
concepts in OpenType. Their difference comes purely in their storage.
Therefore we can say that a coverage table is a class definition in
which the class definition for each glyph is the corresponding index in
the coverage table. The resulting data structure is that a Coverage
table has the following fields:
cover
A boolean to indicate whether this table is a coverage table (TRUE)
or a class definition (FALSE)
val A hash of glyph ids against values (either coverage index or class
value)
fmt The storage format used is given here, but is recalculated when the
table is written out.
count
A count of the elements in a coverage table for use with add. Each
subsequent addition is added with the current count and increments
the count.
METHODS
new($isCover [, vals])
Creates a new coverage table or class definition table, depending upon
the value of $isCover. if $isCover then vals may be a list of glyphs to
include in order. If no $isCover, then vals is a hash of glyphs
against class values.
read($fh)
Reads the coverage/class table from the given file handle
out($fh, $state)
Writes the coverage/class table to the given file handle. If $state is
1 then the output string is returned rather than being output to a
filehandle.
$c->add($glyphid[, $class])
Adds a glyph id to the coverage table incrementing the count so that
each subsequent addition has the next sequential number. Returns the
index number of the glyphid added
$c->signature
Returns a vector of all the glyph ids covered by this coverage table or
class
@map=$c->sort
Sorts the coverage table so that indexes are in ascending order of
glyphid. Returns a map such that $map[$new_index]=$old_index.
$c->out_xml($context)
Outputs this coverage/class in XML
