SheenFigure aims to implement the advanced typographic tables of OpenType specification available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Typography/OpenTypeSpecification.aspx along with script specific shaping engines available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Typography/SpecificationsOverview.aspx. Currently, it only supports Arabic script and a subset of [GDEF](https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/GDEF.htm), [GSUB](https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/GSUB.htm) and [GPOS](https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/GPOS.htm) tables. The support is intended to increase in each newer versions of the library.
Here are some of the advantages of SheenFigure.
* Object based
* Designed to be thread safe
* Lightweight API for interaction
* Clear differentiation of public and private API
* Thoroughly tested
## Dependency
SheenFigure only depends on [SheenBidi](https://github.com/mta452/SheenBidi) in order to support UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 string encodings. Other than that, it only uses standard C library headers ```stddef.h```, ```stdint.h```, ```stdlib.h``` and ```string.h```.
## Configuration
The configuration options are available in `Headers/SFConfig.h`.
* ```SF_CONFIG_UNITY``` builds the library as a single module and lets the compiler make decisions to inline functions.
## Compiling
SheenFigure can be compiled with any C compiler. The best way for compiling is to add all the files in an IDE and hit build. The only thing to consider however is that if ```SF_CONFIG_UNITY``` is enabled then only ```Source/SheenFigure.c``` should be compiled.
## Public API
Here is a glimpse of public API in the form of UML class diagram.
## Conformance
Following are the tables implemented by SheenFigure.
