/**
 * The <code>TextHitInfo</code> class represents a character position in a
 * text model, and a <b>bias</b>, or "side," of the character.  Biases are
 * either <EM>leading</EM> (the left edge, for a left-to-right character)
 * or <EM>trailing</EM> (the right edge, for a left-to-right character).
 * Instances of <code>TextHitInfo</code> are used to specify caret and
 * insertion positions within text.
 * <p>
 * For example, consider the text "abc".  TextHitInfo.trailing(1)
 * corresponds to the right side of the 'b' in the text.
 * <p>
 * <code>TextHitInfo</code> is used primarily by {@link TextLayout} and
 * clients of <code>TextLayout</code>.  Clients of <code>TextLayout</code> 
 * query <code>TextHitInfo</code> instances for an insertion offset, where 
 * new text is inserted into the text model.  The insertion offset is equal
 * to the character position in the <code>TextHitInfo</code> if the bias
 * is leading, and one character after if the bias is trailing.  The 
 * insertion offset for TextHitInfo.trailing(1) is 2.
 * <p>
 * Sometimes it is convenient to construct a <code>TextHitInfo</code> with
 * the same insertion offset as an existing one, but on the opposite
 * character.  The <code>getOtherHit</code> method constructs a new
 * <code>TextHitInfo</code> with the same insertion offset as an existing 
 * one, with a hit on the character on the other side of the insertion offset. 
 * Calling <code>getOtherHit</code> on trailing(1) would return leading(2).
 * In general, <code>getOtherHit</code> for trailing(n) returns 
 * leading(n+1) and <code>getOtherHit</code> for leading(n) 
 * returns trailing(n-1).
 * <p>
 * <strong>Example</strong>:<p>
 * Converting a graphical point to an insertion point within a text 
 * model
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * TextLayout layout = ...;
 * Point2D.Float hitPoint = ...;
 * TextHitInfo hitInfo = layout.hitTestChar(hitPoint.x, hitPoint.y);
 * int insPoint = hitInfo.getInsertionIndex();
 * // insPoint is relative to layout;  may need to adjust for use 
 * // in a text model
 * </pre></blockquote>
 *
