Overview
Specifies the behaviour of bounds reporting by Text nodes.
The setting affects layoutBounds, boundsInLocal and
boundsInParent
The geometry of text can be measured either in terms of the bounds of
the particular text to be rendered - visual bounds, or as properties
of the font and the characters to be rendered - logical bounds.
Visual bounds are more useful for positioning text as graphics, and
for obtaining tight enclosing bounds around the text.
Logical bounds are important for laying out text relative to other text and other components, particularly those which also contain text. The bounds isn't specific to the text being rendered, and so will report heights which account for the potential ascent and descent of text using the font at its specified size. Also leading and trailing spaces are part of the logical advance width of the text.

Field Summary
| access | name | type | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| public static final | LOGICAL | TextBoundsType |
Use logical bounds as the basis for calculating the bounds. 
Use logical bounds as the basis for calculating the bounds. Note: This is usually the fastest option. Profile: common |
| public static final | VISUAL | TextBoundsType |
Use visual bounds as the basis for calculating the bounds.
Use visual bounds as the basis for calculating the bounds. Note: This is likely to be slower than using logical bounds. Profile: common |
