javafx.scene.text

Class Text

java.lang.Object

javafx.scene.Node
- javafx.scene.shape.Shape
- - javafx.scene.text.Text

All Implemented Interfaces:

@DefaultProperty(value="text")
public class Text
extends Shape

The Text class defines a node that displays a text. Paragraphs are separated by '\n' and the text is wrapped on paragraph boundaries.

import javafx.scene.text.*;

Text t = new Text(10, 50, "This is a test");
t.setFont(new Font(20));

import javafx.scene.text.*;

Text t = new Text();
text.setFont(new Font(20));
text.setText("First row\nSecond row");

import javafx.scene.text.*;

Text t = new Text();
text.setFont(new Font(20));
text.setWrappingWidth(200);
text.setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.JUSTIFY)
text.setText("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog");

Method Detail
- usesMirroring
```
public boolean usesMirroring()
```
  Description copied from class: Node
  
  Determines whether a node should be mirrored when node orientation is right-to-left.
  When a node is mirrored, the origin is automatically moved to the top right corner causing the node to layout children and draw from right to left using a mirroring transformation. Some nodes may wish to draw from right to left without using a transformation. These nodes will will answer false and implement right-to-left orientation without using the automatic transformation.

- getBaselineOffset
```
public final double getBaselineOffset()
```
  Gets the value of the property baselineOffset.
  
  Overrides:
  
  getBaselineOffset in class Node
  
  Property description:
  
  The 'alphabetic' (or roman) baseline offset from the Text node's layoutBounds.minY location. The value typically corresponds to the max ascent of the font.
  
  Returns:
  
  offset of text baseline from layoutBounds.minY for non-resizable Nodes or Node.BASELINE_OFFSET_SAME_AS_HEIGHT otherwise
- baselineOffsetProperty
```
public final ReadOnlyDoubleProperty baselineOffsetProperty()
```
  The 'alphabetic' (or roman) baseline offset from the Text node's layoutBounds.minY location. The value typically corresponds to the max ascent of the font.

- setFontSmoothingType
```
public final void setFontSmoothingType(FontSmoothingType value)
```
  Sets the value of the property fontSmoothingType.
  
  Property description:
  
  Specifies a requested font smoothing type : gray or LCD. The width of the bounding box is defined by the widest row. Note: LCD mode doesn't apply in numerous cases, such as various compositing modes, where effects are applied and very large glyphs.
  
  Default value:
  
  FontSmoothingType.GRAY
  
  Since:
  
  JavaFX 2.1
- getFontSmoothingType
```
public final FontSmoothingType getFontSmoothingType()
```
  Gets the value of the property fontSmoothingType.
  
  Property description:
  
  Specifies a requested font smoothing type : gray or LCD. The width of the bounding box is defined by the widest row. Note: LCD mode doesn't apply in numerous cases, such as various compositing modes, where effects are applied and very large glyphs.
  
  Default value:
  
  FontSmoothingType.GRAY
  
  Since:
  
  JavaFX 2.1
- fontSmoothingTypeProperty
```
public final ObjectProperty<FontSmoothingType> fontSmoothingTypeProperty()
```
  Specifies a requested font smoothing type : gray or LCD. The width of the bounding box is defined by the widest row. Note: LCD mode doesn't apply in numerous cases, such as various compositing modes, where effects are applied and very large glyphs.
  
  Default value:
  
  FontSmoothingType.GRAY

- getClassCssMetaData
```
public static List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,?>> getClassCssMetaData()
```
  Returns:
  
  The CssMetaData associated with this class, which may include the CssMetaData of its super classes.
  
  Since:
  
  JavaFX 8.0
- getCssMetaData
```
public List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,?>> getCssMetaData()
```
  This method should delegate to Node.getClassCssMetaData() so that a Node's CssMetaData can be accessed without the need for reflection.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getCssMetaData in interface Styleable
  
  Overrides:
  
  getCssMetaData in class Shape
  
  Returns:
  
  The CssMetaData associated with this node, which may include the CssMetaData of its super classes.
  
  Since:
  
  JavaFX 8.0

  Overrides:
  
  toString in class Node
  
  Returns:

public Object queryAccessibleAttribute(AccessibleAttribute attribute,
                                       Object... parameters)
```
  Description copied from class: Node
  
  This method is called by the assistive technology to request the value for an attribute.
  This method is commonly overridden by subclasses to implement attributes that are required for a specific role.
  If a particular attribute is not handled, the super class implementation must be called.
  
  Overrides:
  
  queryAccessibleAttribute in class Node
  
  Parameters:
  
  attribute - the requested attribute
  
  Returns:
  
  the value for the requested attribute
