Class RenderableString

java.lang.Object

ej.microui.display.RenderableString

public class RenderableString
extends Object

Represents graphical information related to the drawing of a string with a font.

Drawing a renderable string is faster than drawing a regular string. This optimization is done by caching the index within the font of every character of the string as soon as the renderable string is created. However a RenderableString consumes significant heap memory.
