all its content (or generated BreakPossibilities for all content.)
- Returns:
- true if this layout manager is finished
setFinished
void setFinished(boolean isFinished)
- Set a flag indicating whether the LayoutManager has laid out all
its content. This is generally called by the LM itself, but can
be called by a parentLM when backtracking.
- Parameters:
isFinished
- the value to set the finished flag to
getParentArea
Area getParentArea(Area childArea)
- Get the parent area for an area.
This should get the parent depending on the class of the
area passed in.
- Parameters:
childArea
- the child area to get the parent for
- Returns:
- the parent Area
addChildArea
void addChildArea(Area childArea)
- Add the area as a child of the current area.
This is called by child layout managers to add their
areas as children of the current area.
- Parameters:
childArea
- the child area to add
addAreas
void addAreas(PositionIterator posIter,
LayoutContext context)
- Tell the layout manager to add all the child areas implied
by Position objects which will be returned by the
Iterator.
- Parameters:
posIter
- the position iteratorcontext
- the context
createNextChildLMs
boolean createNextChildLMs(int pos)
- Create more child LMs of the parent, up to child LM index pos
- Parameters:
pos

getNextKnuthElements
java.util.LinkedList getNextKnuthElements(LayoutContext context,
int alignment)
- Get a sequence of KnuthElements representing the content
of the node assigned to the LM
- Parameters:
context
- the LayoutContext used to store layout informationalignment
- the desired text alignement

- the list of KnuthElements
getChangedKnuthElements
java.util.LinkedList getChangedKnuthElements(java.util.List oldList,
int alignment)
- Get a sequence of KnuthElements representing the content
of the node assigned to the LM, after changes have been applied
In the context of line breaking, this method is called after hyphenation has
been performed, in order to receive the sequence of elements representing the
text together with all possibile hyphenation points.
For example, if the text "representation" originates a single box element
when getNextKnuthElements() is called, it will be now split in syllables
(rep-re-sen-ta-tion) each one originating a box and divided by additional
elements allowing a line break.
In the context of page breaking, this method is called only if the pages need
to be "vertically justified" modifying (also) the quantity of lines created by
the paragraphs, and after a first page breaking has been performed.
According to the result of the first page breaking, each paragraph now knows
how many lines it must create (among the existing layout possibilities) and
has to create a sequence of elements representing this layout; in particular,
each box, representing a line, will contain a LineBreakPositions that will be
used in the addAreas() phase.
LMs having children look at the old list of elements in order to know which
ones they must get the new elements from, as break conditions of preserved
linefeeds can divide children into smaller groups (page sequences or
paragraphs).
LMs having no children can simply return the old elements if they have nothing
to change.
Inline LMs need to know the text alignment because it affects the elements
representing feasible breaks between syllables.
- Parameters:
oldList
- the elements to replacealignment
- the desired text alignment
- Returns:
- the updated list of KnuthElements
getContentAreaIPD
int getContentAreaIPD()
- Returns the IPD of the content area
- Returns:
- the IPD of the content area
getContentAreaBPD
int getContentAreaBPD()
- Returns the BPD of the content area
- Returns:
- the BPD of the content area
getGeneratesReferenceArea
boolean getGeneratesReferenceArea()
- Returns an indication if the layout manager generates a reference area.
- Returns:
- True if the layout manager generates a reference area
getGeneratesBlockArea
boolean getGeneratesBlockArea()
- Returns an indication if the layout manager generates a block area.
- Returns:
- True if the layout manager generates a block area
getGeneratesLineArea
boolean getGeneratesLineArea()
- Returns an indication if the layout manager generates a line area.
- Returns:
- True if the layout manager generates a line area
getFObj
FObj getFObj()
- Returns the fo this layout manager is associated with.
- Returns:
- The fo for this layout manager or null.
notifyPos
Position notifyPos(Position pos)
- Adds a Position to the Position participating in the first|last determination by assigning
it a unique position index.
- Parameters:
pos
- the Position
- Returns:
- the same Position but with a position index
