Class TextMeasurer

java.lang.Object
  java.awt.font.TextMeasurer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public final class TextMeasurer
extends Object
implements Cloneable

The TextMeasurer class provides the primitive operations needed for line break: measuring up to a given advance, determining the advance of a range of characters, and generating a TextLayout for a range of characters. It also provides methods for incremental editing of paragraphs.

A TextMeasurer object is constructed with an AttributedCharacterIterator representing a single paragraph of text. The value returned by the getBeginIndex method of AttributedCharacterIterator defines the absolute index of the first character. The value returned by the getEndIndex method of AttributedCharacterIterator defines the index past the last character. These values define the range of indexes to use in calls to the TextMeasurer. For example, calls to get the advance of a range of text or the line break of a range of text must use indexes between the beginning and end index values. Calls to insertChar and deleteChar reset the TextMeasurer to use the beginning index and end index of the AttributedCharacterIterator passed in those calls.

Most clients will use the more convenient LineBreakMeasurer, which implements the standard line break policy (placing as many words as will fit on each line).

Constructor Detail

TextMeasurer

public TextMeasurer(AttributedCharacterIterator text,
                    FontRenderContext frc)

Constructs a TextMeasurer from the source text. The source text should be a single entire paragraph.

Parameters:

text - the source paragraph. Cannot be null.

frc - the information about a graphics device which is needed to measure the text correctly. Cannot be null.

Method Detail

clone

protected Object clone()

Description copied from class: Object

Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general intent is that, for any object x, the expression:

 x.clone() != x

will be true, and that the expression:

 x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()

will be true, but these are not absolute requirements. While it is typically the case that:

 x.clone().equals(x)

will be true, this is not an absolute requirement.

By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling super.clone. If a class and all of its superclasses (except Object) obey this convention, it will be the case that x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass().

By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned by super.clone before returning it. Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields in the object returned by super.clone need to be modified.

The method clone for class Object performs a specific cloning operation. First, if the class of this object does not implement the interface Cloneable, then a CloneNotSupportedException is thrown. Note that all arrays are considered to implement the interface Cloneable. Otherwise, this method creates a new instance of the class of this object and initializes all its fields with exactly the contents of the corresponding fields of this object, as if by assignment; the contents of the fields are not themselves cloned. Thus, this method performs a "shallow copy" of this object, not a "deep copy" operation.

The class Object does not itself implement the interface Cloneable, so calling the clone method on an object whose class is Object will result in throwing an exception at run time.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

a clone of this instance.

getLineBreakIndex

public int getLineBreakIndex(int start,
                             float maxAdvance)

Returns the index of the first character which will not fit on on a line beginning at start and possible measuring up to maxAdvance in graphical width.

Parameters:

start - the character index at which to start measuring. start is an absolute index, not relative to the start of the paragraph

maxAdvance - the graphical width in which the line must fit

Returns:

the index after the last character that will fit on a line beginning at start, which is not longer than maxAdvance in graphical width

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if start is less than the beginning of the paragraph.

getAdvanceBetween

public float getAdvanceBetween(int start,
                               int limit)

Returns the graphical width of a line beginning at start and including characters up to limit. start and limit are absolute indices, not relative to the start of the paragraph.

Parameters:

start - the character index at which to start measuring

limit - the character index at which to stop measuring

Returns:

the graphical width of a line beginning at start and including characters up to limit

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if limit is less than start

IllegalArgumentException - if start or limit is not between the beginning of the paragraph and the end of the paragraph.

getLayout

public TextLayout getLayout(int start,
                            int limit)

Returns a TextLayout on the given character range.

Parameters:

start - the index of the first character

limit - the index after the last character. Must be greater than start

Returns:

a TextLayout for the characters beginning at start up to (but not including) limit

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if limit is less than start

IllegalArgumentException - if start or limit is not between the beginning of the paragraph and the end of the paragraph.

insertChar

public void insertChar(AttributedCharacterIterator newParagraph,
                       int insertPos)

Updates the TextMeasurer after a single character has been inserted into the paragraph currently represented by this TextMeasurer. After this call, this TextMeasurer is equivalent to a new TextMeasurer created from the text; however, it will usually be more efficient to update an existing TextMeasurer than to create a new one from scratch.

Parameters:

newParagraph - the text of the paragraph after performing the insertion. Cannot be null.

insertPos - the position in the text where the character was inserted. Must not be less than the start of newParagraph, and must be less than the end of newParagraph.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if insertPos is less than the start of newParagraph or greater than or equal to the end of newParagraph

NullPointerException - if newParagraph is null

deleteChar

public void deleteChar(AttributedCharacterIterator newParagraph,
                       int deletePos)

Updates the TextMeasurer after a single character has been deleted from the paragraph currently represented by this TextMeasurer. After this call, this TextMeasurer is equivalent to a new TextMeasurer created from the text; however, it will usually be more efficient to update an existing TextMeasurer than to create a new one from scratch.

Parameters:

newParagraph - the text of the paragraph after performing the deletion. Cannot be null.

deletePos - the position in the text where the character was removed. Must not be less than the start of newParagraph, and must not be greater than the end of newParagraph.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if deletePos is less than the start of newParagraph or greater than the end of newParagraph

NullPointerException - if newParagraph is null
