Methods Summary
public abstract float	getAscent() Returns the ascent of the text. The ascent is the distance from the baseline to the ascender line. The ascent usually represents the the height of the capital letters of the text. Some characters can extend above the ascender line. return the ascent of the text.
public abstract int	getBaselineIndex() Returns the baseline index of the text. The index is one of {@link java.awt.Font#ROMAN_BASELINE ROMAN_BASELINE}, {@link java.awt.Font#CENTER_BASELINE CENTER_BASELINE}, {@link java.awt.Font#HANGING_BASELINE HANGING_BASELINE}. return the baseline of the text.
public abstract float[]	getBaselineOffsets() Returns the baseline offsets of the text, relative to the baseline of the text. The offsets are indexed by baseline index. For example, if the baseline index is CENTER_BASELINE then offsets[HANGING_BASELINE] is usually negative, offsets[CENTER_BASELINE] is zero, and offsets[ROMAN_BASELINE] is usually positive. return the baseline offsets of the text.
public abstract float	getDescent() Returns the descent of the text. The descent is the distance from the baseline to the descender line. The descent usually represents the distance to the bottom of lower case letters like 'p'. Some characters can extend below the descender line. return the descent of the text.
public abstract float	getHeight() Returns the height of the text. The height is equal to the sum of the ascent, the descent and the leading. return the height of the text.
public abstract float	getLeading() Returns the leading of the text. The leading is the recommended distance from the bottom of the descender line to the top of the next line. return the leading of the text.
public abstract int	getNumChars() Returns the number of characters (char values) in the text whose metrics are encapsulated by this LineMetrics object. return the number of characters (char values) in the text with which this LineMetrics was created.
public abstract float	getStrikethroughOffset() Returns the position of the strike-through line relative to the baseline. return the position of the strike-through line.
public abstract float	getStrikethroughThickness() Returns the thickness of the strike-through line. return the thickness of the strike-through line.
public abstract float	getUnderlineOffset() Returns the position of the underline relative to the baseline. return the position of the underline.
public abstract float	getUnderlineThickness() Returns the thickness of the underline. return the thickness of the underline.
