`stream`

clean() → None: Reset the entry to its original, un-decompiled state.

compile(force=False) → None: Compile the entry. The result is stored in VfbEntry.data.

decompile() → None: Decompile the entry. The result is stored in VfbEntry.decompiled.

property header: bytes

The entry header.

Returns:: The data of the current entry header.
Return type:: bytes

merge_masters_data() → None: Merge any temporary masters data into the main decompiled structure. Such data can be added as the result of drawing with a PointPen into a multiple master Vfb.

read(stream: BufferedReader) → None: Read the entry from the stream without decompiling the data.

read_double() → float

Return a double-precision float from the stream.

Returns:: The float
Return type:: float

read_doubles(num) → tuple[float]

Return a tuple of num double-precision floats from the stream.

Parameters:: num (int) – The number of double-precision floats to read from the stream
Returns:: The tuple of floats
Return type:: tuple[float]

read_float() → float

Return a float from the stream.

Returns:: The float
Return type:: float

read_floats(num: int) → tuple[float]

Return a tuple of num floats from the stream.

Parameters:: num (int) – The number of floats to read from the stream

read_int32() → int

Return a signed 32-bit integer from the stream.

Returns:: The integer
Return type:: int

read_int8() → int

Return a signed 8-bit integer from the stream.

Returns:: The integer
Return type:: int

read_str(size: int) → str

Return a string of the specified size from the current stream with the current encoding

Parameters:: size (int) – The size in bytes to be converted to a string
Returns:: The string
Return type:: str

read_str_all() → str

Return the remaining bytes of the current stream as a string with the current encoding. Null bytes and whitespace are stripped from the string.

Returns:: The string
Return type:: str

read_uint16() → int

Return an unsigned 16-bit integer from the stream.

Returns:: The integer
Return type:: int

read_uint32() → int

read_value(signed: bool = True) → int

Return an encoded integer value from the stream.

Parameters:

signed (bool, optional) – Whether the value is interpreted as a signed value.
True. (Defaults to)

Returns:

The integer

Return type:

int

property size: int

The size of the compiled data.

Returns:: The size of the current compiled data.
Return type:: int
