public static final TextAttribute POSTURE

Attribute key for the posture of a font. Values are instances of Number. The default value is POSTURE_REGULAR.

Two constant values are provided, POSTURE_REGULAR and POSTURE_OBLIQUE. The value POSTURE_OBLIQUE corresponds to the style value Font.ITALIC as passed to the Font constructor.

The value is roughly the slope of the stems of the font, expressed as the run over the rise. Positive values lean right.

The system can interpolate the provided value.

This will affect the font's italic angle as returned by Font.getItalicAngle.
