      • getStartPosition

        long getStartPosition​(long line)
        Finds the start position of a line.
        Parameters:
        line - line number (beginning at 1)
        Returns:
        position of first character in line
        Throws:
        IndexOutOfBoundsException - if lineNumber < 1 if lineNumber > no. of lines

      • getPosition

        long getPosition​(long line,
                 long column)
        Finds the position corresponding to a (line,column).
        Parameters:
        line - line number (beginning at 1)
        column - tab-expanded column number (beginning 1)
        Returns:
        position of character
        Throws:
        IndexOutOfBoundsException - if line < 1 if line > no. of lines

      • getLineNumber

        long getLineNumber​(long pos)
        Finds the line containing a position; a line termination character is on the line it terminates.
        Parameters:
        pos - character offset of the position
        Returns:
        the line number of pos (first line is 1)

      • getColumnNumber

        long getColumnNumber​(long pos)
        Finds the column for a character position. Tab characters preceding the position on the same line will be expanded when calculating the column number.
        Parameters:
        pos - character offset of the position
        Returns:
        the tab-expanded column number of pos (first column is 1)
