public class LabelView

extends View

A LabelView is a styled chunk of text that represents a view mapped over an element in the text model. The view supports breaking for the purpose of formatting. The fragments produced by breaking share the view that has primary responsibility for the element (i.e. they are nested classes and carry only a small amount of state of their own) so they can share its resources.

This view is generally responsible for displaying character level attributes in some way. Since this view represents text that may have tabs embedded in it, it implements the TabableView interface. Tabs will only be expanded if this view is embedded in a container that does tab expansion. ParagraphView is an example of a container that does tab expansion.

getBreakWeight

public int getBreakWeight(int axis,
                          float pos,
                          float len)

Determines how attractive a break opportunity in this view is. This can be used for determining which view is the most attractive to call breakView on in the process of formatting. The higher the weight, the more attractive the break. A value equal to or lower than View.BadBreakWeight should not be considered for a break. A value greater than or equal to View.ForcedBreakWeight should be broken.

This is implemented to forward to the superclass for the Y_AXIS. Along the X_AXIS the following values may be returned.

View.ExcellentBreakWeight

if there is whitespace proceeding the desired break location.

View.BadBreakWeight

if the desired break location results in a break location of the starting offset.

View.GoodBreakWeight

if the other conditions don't occur.

This will normally result in the behavior of breaking on a whitespace location if one can be found, otherwise breaking between characters.

Overrides:

getBreakWeight in class View

Parameters:

axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS

pos - the potential location of the start of the broken view >= 0. This may be useful for calculating tab positions.

len - specifies the relative length from pos where a potential break is desired >= 0.

Returns:

the weight, which should be a value between View.ForcedBreakWeight and View.BadBreakWeight.

See Also:

LabelView, ParagraphView, BadBreakWeight, GoodBreakWeight, ExcellentBreakWeight, ForcedBreakWeight

breakView

public View breakView(int axis,
                      int p0,
                      float pos,
                      float len)

Breaks this view on the given axis at the given length. This is implemented to attempt to break on a whitespace location, and returns a fragment with the whitespace at the end. If a whitespace location can't be found, the nearest character is used.

Overrides:

breakView in class View

Parameters:

axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS

p0 - the location in the model where the fragment should start it's representation >= 0.

pos - the position along the axis that the broken view would occupy >= 0. This may be useful for things like tab calculations.

len - specifies the distance along the axis where a potential break is desired >= 0.

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:

View.breakView(int, int, float, float)

createFragment

public View createFragment(int p0,
                           int p1)

Creates a view that represents a portion of the element. This is potentially useful during formatting operations for taking measurements of fragments of the view. If the view doesn't support fragmenting (the default), it should return itself.

This view does support fragmenting. It is implemented to return a nested class that shares state in this view representing only a portion of the view.

Overrides:

createFragment in class View

Parameters:

p0 - the starting offset >= 0. This should be a value greater or equal to the element starting offset and less than the element ending offset.

p1 - the ending offset > p0. This should be a value less than or equal to the elements end offset and greater than the elements starting offset.

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommendedthat all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Tags copied from class: Object

Returns:

a string representation of the object.
