ParagraphView
public class ParagraphView extends FlowView implements TabExpander
View of a simple line-wrapping paragraph that supports multiple fonts, colors, components, icons, etc. It is basically a vertical box with a margin around it. The contents of the box are a bunch of rows which are special horizontal boxes. This view creates a collection of views that represent the child elements of the paragraph element. Each of these views are placed into a row directly if they will fit, otherwise the breakView method is called to try and carve the view into pieces that fit.

This methods returns the view responsible for the child element index (prior to breaking). These are the Views that were produced from a factory (to represent the child elements) and used for layout.
      Parameters:
      index - the index of the desired view
      Returns:
      the view at index

    • flipEastAndWestAtEnds

      protected boolean flipEastAndWestAtEnds(int position, Position.Bias bias)
      Determines in which direction the next view lays. Consider the View at index n. Typically the Views are laid out from left to right, so that the View to the EAST will be at index n + 1, and the View to the WEST will be at index n - 1. In certain situations, such as with bidirectional text, it is possible that the View to EAST is not at index n + 1, but rather at index n - 1, or that the View to the WEST is not at index n - 1, but index n + 1. In this case this method would return true, indicating the Views are laid out in descending order.

      This will return true if the text is laid out right to left at position, otherwise false.

      Overrides:
      flipEastAndWestAtEnds in class BoxView
      Parameters:
      position - position into the model
      bias - either Position.Bias.Forward or Position.Bias.Backward
      Returns:
      true if the text is laid out right to left at position, otherwise false.

    • nextTabStop

      public float nextTabStop(float x, int tabOffset)
      Returns the next tab stop position given a reference position. This view implements the tab coordinate system, and calls getTabbedSpan on the logical children in the process of layout to determine the desired span of the children. The logical children can delegate their tab expansion upward to the paragraph which knows how to expand tabs. LabelView is an example of a view that delegates its tab expansion needs upward to the paragraph.

      This is implemented to try and locate a TabSet in the paragraph element's attribute set. If one can be found, its settings will be used, otherwise a default expansion will be provided. The base location for tab expansion is the left inset from the paragraphs most recent allocation (which is what the layout of the children is based upon).

      Specified by:
      nextTabStop in interface TabExpander
      Parameters:
      x - the X reference position
      tabOffset - the position within the text stream that the tab occurred at >= 0
      Returns:
      the trailing end of the tab expansion >= 0
      See Also:

    • getTabSet

      protected TabSet getTabSet()
      Gets the Tabset to be used in calculating tabs.
      Returns:
      the TabSet

    • getPartialSize

      protected float getPartialSize(int startOffset, int endOffset)
      Returns the size used by the views between startOffset and endOffset. This uses getPartialView to calculate the size if the child view implements the TabableView interface. If a size is needed and a View does not implement the TabableView interface, the preferredSpan will be used.
      Parameters:
      startOffset - the starting document offset >= 0
      endOffset - the ending document offset >= startOffset
      Returns:
      the size >= 0

    • findOffsetToCharactersInString

      protected int findOffsetToCharactersInString(char[] string, int start)
      Finds the next character in the document with a character in string, starting at offset start. If there are no characters found, -1 will be returned.
      Parameters:
      string - the string of characters
      start - where to start in the model >= 0
      Returns:
      the document offset, or -1 if no characters found

    • getTabBase

      protected float getTabBase()
      Returns where the tabs are calculated from.
      Returns:
      where tabs are calculated from

    • paint

      public void paint(Graphics g, Shape a)
      Renders using the given rendering surface and area on that surface. This is implemented to delegate to the superclass after stashing the base coordinate for tab calculations.
      Overrides:
      paint in class BoxView
      Parameters:
      g - the rendering surface to use
      a - the allocated region to render into
      See Also:

    • getAlignment

      public float getAlignment(int axis)

      Overrides:
      getAlignment in class BoxView
      Parameters:
      axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS
      Returns:
      the desired alignment. This should be a value between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive, where 0 indicates alignment at the origin and 1.0 indicates alignment to the full span away from the origin. An alignment of 0.5 would be the center of the view.

    • breakView

      public View breakView(int axis, float len, Shape a)
      Breaks this view on the given axis at the given length.

      ParagraphView instances are breakable along the Y_AXIS only, and only if len is after the first line.

      Parameters:
      axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS
      len - specifies where a potential break is desired along the given axis >= 0
      a - the current allocation of the view
      Returns:
      the fragment of the view that represents the given span, if the view can be broken; if the view doesn't support breaking behavior, the view itself is returned
      See Also:

    • getBreakWeight

      public int getBreakWeight(int axis, float len)
      Gets the break weight for a given location.

      ParagraphView instances are breakable along the Y_AXIS only, and only if len is after the first row. If the length is less than one row, a value of BadBreakWeight is returned.

      Parameters:
      axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS
      len - specifies where a potential break is desired >= 0
      Returns:
      a value indicating the attractiveness of breaking here; either GoodBreakWeight or BadBreakWeight

    • calculateMinorAxisRequirements

      protected SizeRequirements calculateMinorAxisRequirements(int axis, SizeRequirements r)
      Calculate the needs for the paragraph along the minor axis.

      This uses size requirements of the superclass, modified to take into account the non-breakable areas at the adjacent views edges. The minimal size requirements for such views should be no less than the sum of all adjacent fragments.

      If the axis parameter is neither View.X_AXIS nor View.Y_AXIS, IllegalArgumentException is thrown. If the r parameter is null, a new SizeRequirements object is created, otherwise the supplied SizeRequirements object is returned.

      Overrides:
      calculateMinorAxisRequirements in class FlowView
      Parameters:
      axis - the minor axis
      r - the input SizeRequirements object
