float getAdvance ()
 Returns the distance by which the character pointer should be advanced after placing this character; i.e. the approximate width the character takes up on the line. More...

TypeHandle getType ()
 Derived classes should override this function to return get_class_type(). More...
 
int getTypeIndex ()
 Returns the internal index number associated with this object's TypeHandle, a unique number for each different type. This is equivalent to get_type().get_index(). More...
 
bool isExactType (TypeHandle handle)
 Returns true if the current object is the indicated type exactly. More...
 
bool isOfType (TypeHandle handle)
 Returns true if the current object is or derives from the indicated type. More...

int getRefCount ()
 Returns the current reference count. More...
 
 ref ()
 Explicitly increments the reference count. User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically. More...
 
bool testRefCountIntegrity ()
 Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't completely bogus. Returns true if ok, false otherwise. More...
 
bool testRefCountNonzero ()
 Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't zero, or completely bogus. Returns true if ok, false otherwise. More...
 
bool unref ()
 Explicitly decrements the reference count. Note that the object will not be implicitly deleted by unref() simply because the reference count drops to zero. (Having a member function delete itself is problematic.) However, see the helper function unref_delete(). More...
