Main constructor

Parameters:

position - the Position instance needed by the addAreas stage of the LMs.

space - the space property

side - the side to which this space element applies.

isFirst - true if this is a space-before of the first area generated.

isLast - true if this is a space-after of the last area generated.

context - the property evaluation context

Method Detail

isForcing

public boolean isForcing()

Returns:

true if the space is forcing.

getPrecedence

public int getPrecedence()

Returns:

the precedence of the space

notifyLayoutManager

public void notifyLayoutManager(MinOptMax effectiveLength)

Called to notify the affected layout manager about the effective length after resolution. This method is called once before each call to the layout manager's addAreas() method.

Specified by:

notifyLayoutManager in class UnresolvedListElementWithLength

Parameters:

effectiveLength - the effective length after resolution (may be null which equals to zero effective length)
