    Class TabStave

    Element implements a generic base class for VexFlow, with implementations of general functions and properties that can be inherited by all VexFlow elements.

    The Element handles style and font properties for the Element and any child elements, along with working with the Registry to create unique ids.

    The text is a series of unicode characters (including SMuFL codes). The textFont property contains information required to style the text (i.e., font family, size, weight, and style). This font family is a comma separated list of fonts. The method measureText calculates the textMetrics, boundingBox, height and width of the text. The method renderText(...) will render the text using the provided context and coordinates, taking xShift and yShift into account.

    Accessors

    • get font(): string

      Returns the CSS compatible font string for the text font.

      Returns string

    • set font(f: string): void

      Provide a CSS compatible font string (e.g., 'bold 16px Arial') that will be applied to text (not glyphs).

      Returns void

    • get fontSize(): string

      Returns string

      a CSS font-size string (e.g., '18pt', '12px', '1em').

    • set fontSize(size: string | number): void

      The size is 1) a string of the form '10pt' or '16px', compatible with the CSS font-size property. or 2) a number, which is interpreted as a point size (i.e. 12 == '12pt').

      Parameters

      • size: string | number

      Returns void

    • get fontSizeInPixels(): number

      Returns number

      the font size in px.

      Returns number

      the font size in pt.

      • style: string

      Returns void

    • get fontWeight(): string

      Returns string

    • set fontWeight(weight: string | number): void

      Set the font weight.

      Parameters

      • weight: string | number

      Returns void

    Methods

    • Adds a child to the Element, which lets it inherit the same style as the parent when setGroupStyle() is called.

      Examples of children are noteheads and stems. Modifiers such as Accidentals are generally not set as children.

      Note that StaveNote calls setGroupStyle() when setStyle() is called.
