Java Scaling Font with AffineTransform

Question

Anyone have an example snippet showing how to scale a Font using AffineTransform?

Thanks.

Answer 1

From memory:

Font tallerFont = font.deriveFont(AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(1.0, 2.0));

Answer 2

Well, you don't really need an AffineTransform to do a simple font scale. You can use Font.deriveFont(float size) to geet a new `Font object with the specified size.

But I suppose you could use AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(double sx, double sy) and apply the transform to your Graphics2D object (assuming you have one) if you'd rather. It really depends on what you're doing.
