GraphicAttribute

• java.lang.Object

Fields Summary
private int	fAlignment
public static final int	TOP_ALIGNMENT Aligns top of graphic to top of line.
public static final int	BOTTOM_ALIGNMENT Aligns bottom of graphic to bottom of line.
public static final int	ROMAN_BASELINE Aligns origin of graphic to roman baseline of line.
public static final int	CENTER_BASELINE Aligns origin of graphic to center baseline of line.
public static final int	HANGING_BASELINE Aligns origin of graphic to hanging baseline of line.

Constructors Summary
protected GraphicAttribute(int alignment) Constructs a GraphicAttribute. Subclasses use this to define the alignment of the graphic. param alignment an int representing one of the GraphicAttribute alignment fields if (alignment < BOTTOM_ALIGNMENT || alignment > HANGING_BASELINE) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("bad alignment"); } fAlignment = alignment;

Methods Summary
public abstract void	draw(java.awt.Graphics2D graphics, float x, float y) Renders this GraphicAttribute at the specified location. param graphics the {@link Graphics2D} into which to render the graphic param x, y the user-space coordinates where the graphic is rendered
public abstract float	getAdvance() Returns the advance of this GraphicAttribute. The GraphicAttribute object's advance is the distance from the point at which the graphic is rendered and the point where the next character or graphic is rendered. A graphic can be rendered beyond its advance return the advance of this GraphicAttribute. see #getBounds()
public final int	getAlignment() Returns the alignment of this GraphicAttribute. Alignment can be to a particular baseline, or to the absolute top or bottom of a line. return the alignment of this GraphicAttribute. return fAlignment;
public abstract float	getAscent() Returns the ascent of this GraphicAttribute. A graphic can be rendered above its ascent. return the ascent of this GraphicAttribute. see #getBounds()
public java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D	getBounds() Returns a {@link Rectangle2D} that encloses all of the bits drawn by this GraphicAttribute relative to the rendering position. A graphic may be rendered beyond its origin, ascent, descent, or advance; but if it is, this method's implementation must indicate where the graphic is rendered. Default bounds is the rectangle (0, -ascent, advance, ascent+descent). return a Rectangle2D that encloses all of the bits rendered by this GraphicAttribute. float ascent = getAscent(); return new Rectangle2D.Float(0, -ascent, getAdvance(), ascent+getDescent());
public abstract float	getDescent() Returns the descent of this GraphicAttribute. A graphic can be rendered below its descent. return the descent of this GraphicAttribute. see #getBounds()
public java.awt.font.GlyphJustificationInfo	getJustificationInfo() Returns the justification information for this GraphicAttribute. Subclasses can override this method to provide different justification information. return a {@link GlyphJustificationInfo} object that contains the justification information for this GraphicAttribute. // should we cache this? float advance = getAdvance(); return new GlyphJustificationInfo( advance, // weight false, // growAbsorb 2, // growPriority advance/3, // growLeftLimit advance/3, // growRightLimit false, // shrinkAbsorb 1, // shrinkPriority 0, // shrinkLeftLimit 0); // shrinkRightLimit
