Introduction
Letters, numbers, and other character are often displayed to label and
annotate drawing and go give instructions and information to the user.
Most of the times characters are builts into the graphics display devices,
usallay as hardware but sometimes through software.
There are basic three methods for generating characters using software
implementation :
1. Stroke method
2. Bitmap method
3. Star Bust method

1. Stroke Method
In this method we use a sequence of line drawing function and
arc functions to generate characters.
We can generate a sequence of character by assigning starting
and end point of line or arc.
By using this method various faces of character can be generated
by changing the values (parameters) in line and arc function

2. Bitmap Method
This method is suitable for producing various character.
Font size of character can be increased by increasing the
size of array.
This method uses an array of 1's & O's to represent
pixels.

Characteristics
Resolution Independence: Character generation methods aim to create characters that can
be displayed at various resolutions without loss of quality.
Scalability: Characters should be scalable to different sizes without distortion or pixelation.
Scalable character generation methods, such as vector-based approaches, allow characters
to be resized while maintaining their sharpness and proportions.
Font Metrics: Character generation involves considering font metrics, which include metrics
like ascent, descent, baseline, leading, and kerning. These metrics define the vertical
alignment, spacing, and positioning of characters relative to each other.
Artistic Detail: The ability to capture intricate artistic details, serifs, and stylistic elements is
important in character generation, especially for fonts that have unique visual identities.
Internationalization and Unicode: Modern character generation systems must support a
wide range of languages and characters from different writing systems.
