Read an AmigaBitmapFont class object from a file
Description
Amiga Font Bitmaps of distinctive font heights are stored in separate
files, which in combination form a font collection or set. This
function can be used to read a specific bitmap from a set and returns
it as an AmigaBitmapFont() class object.
Usage
read.AmigaBitmapFont(file, disk = NULL, ...)
Arguments
file |
The file name of a font subset is usually simply a numeric number
indicating the font height in pixels. Use |
disk |
A virtual Commodore Amiga disk from which the |

Arguments passed on to |
Details
Individual font bitmaps are stored in a font's subdirectory where
the file name is usually equal to the font height in pixels. This
function will read such a font bitmap file and return it as an
AmigaBitmapFont() class object. It can also read such
files from adfExplorer::amigaDisk-class() objects,
but that requires the adfExplorer package to be installed.
Value
Returns an AmigaBitmapFont() object read from the specified file.

Examples
## Not run:
data(font_example)
## Let's store the example font first:
write.AmigaBitmapFontSet(font_example, tempdir())
## Now read a specific subset from the font files:
font.sub <- read.AmigaBitmapFont(file.path(tempdir(), "AmigaFFH", "9"))
## The same can be done with a virtual Amiga disk. The following
## examples require the 'adfExplorer' package.
font.disk <- adfExplorer::blank.amigaDOSDisk("font.disk")
font.disk <- adfExplorer::dir.create.adf(font.disk, "FONTS")
font.disk <- write.AmigaBitmapFontSet(font_example, "DF0:FONTS", font.disk)
font.sub <- read.AmigaBitmapFont("DF0:FONTS/AmigaFFH/9", font.disk)
## End(Not run)
