Class GraphicAttribute

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    ImageGraphicAttribute, ShapeGraphicAttribute
    public abstract class GraphicAttribute
extends Object
    This class is used with the CHAR_REPLACEMENT attribute.

    The GraphicAttribute class represents a graphic embedded in text. Clients subclass this class to implement their own char replacement graphics. Clients wishing to embed shapes and images in text need not subclass this class. Instead, clients can use the ShapeGraphicAttribute and ImageGraphicAttribute classes.

    Subclasses must ensure that their objects are immutable once they are constructed. Mutating a GraphicAttribute that is used in a TextLayout results in undefined behavior from the TextLayout.

        Constant Field Values

      • ROMAN_BASELINE

        public static final int ROMAN_BASELINE
        Aligns origin of graphic to roman baseline of line.

        Constant Field Values

      • CENTER_BASELINE

        public static final int CENTER_BASELINE
        Aligns origin of graphic to center baseline of line.
        See Also:
        Constant Field Values

      • HANGING_BASELINE

        public static final int HANGING_BASELINE
        Aligns origin of graphic to hanging baseline of line.

        Constant Field Values

    • Constructor Detail

      • GraphicAttribute

        protected GraphicAttribute​(int alignment)
        Constructs a GraphicAttribute. Subclasses use this to define the alignment of the graphic.
        Parameters:
        alignment - an int representing one of the GraphicAttribute alignment fields
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if alignment is not one of the five defined values.

    • Method Detail

      • getAscent

        public abstract float getAscent()
        Returns the ascent of this GraphicAttribute. A graphic can be rendered above its ascent.
        Returns:
        the ascent of this GraphicAttribute.
        See Also:
        getBounds()

      • getDescent

        public abstract float getDescent()
        Returns the descent of this GraphicAttribute. A graphic can be rendered below its descent.
        Returns:
        the descent of this GraphicAttribute.
        See Also:
        getBounds()

      • getAdvance

        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
        Returns:
        the advance of this GraphicAttribute.
        See Also:
        getBounds()

      • getBounds

        public Rectangle2D getBounds()
        Returns a 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).
        Returns:
        a Rectangle2D that encloses all of the bits rendered by this GraphicAttribute.

      • getOutline

        public Shape getOutline​(AffineTransform tx)
        Return a Shape that represents the region that this GraphicAttribute renders. This is used when a TextLayout is requested to return the outline of the text. The (untransformed) shape must not extend outside the rectangular bounds returned by getBounds. The default implementation returns the rectangle returned by getBounds(), transformed by the provided AffineTransform if present.
        Parameters:
        tx - an optional AffineTransform to apply to the outline of this GraphicAttribute. This can be null.
        Returns:
        a Shape representing this graphic attribute, suitable for stroking or filling.
        Since:
        1.6

      • draw

        public abstract void draw​(Graphics2D graphics,
                          float x,
                          float y)
        Renders this GraphicAttribute at the specified location.
        Parameters:
        graphics - the Graphics2D into which to render the graphic
        x - the user-space X coordinate where the graphic is rendered
        y - the user-space Y coordinate where the graphic is rendered

      • getAlignment

        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.
        Returns:
        the alignment of this GraphicAttribute.

      • getJustificationInfo

        public GlyphJustificationInfo getJustificationInfo()
        Returns the justification information for this GraphicAttribute. Subclasses can override this method to provide different justification information.
        Returns:
        a GlyphJustificationInfo object that contains the justification information for this GraphicAttribute.
