Class BasicFormatter

java.lang.Object

com.adobe.fontengine.inlineformatting.BasicFormatter

public final class BasicFormatter
extends Object

General purpose inline formatter.

This formatter does not do any font selection or font fallback, the client must have selected fonts.

The client must first pass a run corresponding to a whole paragraph to the preFormat(com.adobe.fontengine.inlineformatting.AttributedRun, int, int) method. It can then pass fragments of the run to the format(AttributedRun, int, int) or format(AttributedRun, int, int, boolean) method.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
int	format(AttributedRun run, int start, int limit)	Format an AttributedRun by resolving the styling constraints to actual fonts, glyphs and positions for those glyphs.
int	format(AttributedRun run, int start, int limit, boolean shouldKern)	Format an AttributedRun by resolving the styling constraints to actual fonts, glyphs and positions for those glyphs.
static BasicFormatter	getFormatterInstance()	Create a BasicFormatter for formatting text.
int	preFormat(AttributedRun run, int start, int limit)	Preformat an AttributedRun.

getFormatterInstance

public static BasicFormatter getFormatterInstance()

Create a BasicFormatter for formatting text.

Concurrency

The BasicFormatter instance that is returned from this method is not in general thread safe.

Returns:

A BasicFormatter to be used for formatting text

preFormat

public int preFormat(AttributedRun run,
 int start,
 int limit)
              throws InvalidFontException,
UnsupportedFontException,
FontLoadingException

Preformat an AttributedRun. This method should be called on a portion of an AttributedRun corresponding to a whole paragraph, before the format(AttributedRun, int, int) or format(AttributedRun, int, int, boolean) method.

Parameters:

run - an AttributedRun that contains the text to be formatted

start - the index in the AttributedRun to start formatting from

limit - the index in the AttributedRun at which formatting should cease (one more than the last position that formatting should done to)

Returns:

The new limit of the original range in the AttributedRun after the formatting operation.

Throws:

InvalidFontException

UnsupportedFontException

FontLoadingException

format

public int format(AttributedRun run,
 int start,
 int limit)
           throws InvalidFontException,
UnsupportedFontException,
FontLoadingException

Format an AttributedRun by resolving the styling constraints to actual fonts, glyphs and positions for those glyphs.

This method should be called after the preFormat(com.adobe.fontengine.inlineformatting.AttributedRun, int, int) method.

On input:

• each element in the run can be either a character or a glyph, and this is recorded by the ElementAttribute.isGlyph attribute.
• each element must have ElementAttribute.locale set
• each element must have ElementAttribute.bidiLevel set
• each glyph element must have ElementAttribute.joiningType set
• each element must have ElementAttribute.font set
• each element must have ElementAttribute.pointSize set
• each character element can have ElementAttribute.fontStyle set; if not set, equivalent to FontStyle.NORMAL
• each character element can have ElementAttribute.typographicCase set; if not set, equivalent to TypographicCase.NONE
• each character element can have ElementAttribute.digitCase set; if not set, equivalent to DigitCase.DEFAULT
• each character element can have ElementAttribute.digitWidth set; if not set, equivalent to DigitWidth.DEFAULT
• each interelement can have InterElementAttribute.ligatureLevel set; if not set, equivalent to LigatureLevel.COMMON

At some point during formatting, startWorkingWithPositions will be called on the run.

On output:

• each element in the run will be a glyph
• each element will have a placement and advance vector

Parameters:

run - an AttributedRun that contains the text to be formatted

start - the index in the AttributedRun to start formatting from

limit - the index in the AttributedRun at which formatting should cease (one more than the last position that formatting should done to)

Returns:

The new limit of the original range in the AttributedRun after the formatting operation.

Throws:

InvalidFontException

UnsupportedFontException

FontLoadingException
