Constructor Details

PText

public PText()

Create a new text node with no text ("").

PText

public PText(String text)

Create a new text node with the specified text.

Parameters:

text - text for this text node

Method Details

getJustification

public float getJustification()

Deprecated.

by getHorizontalAlignment()

Returns:

the horizontal alignment value of this node

setJustification

public void setJustification(float justification)

Deprecated.

by setHorizontalAlignment(float)

Parameters:

justification - horizontal alignment value to assign to this node

getHorizontalAlignment

public float getHorizontalAlignment()

Return the horizontal alignment for this text node. The horizontal alignment will be one of Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT, Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT, or Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT. Defaults to DEFAULT_HORIZONTAL_ALIGNMENT.

Returns:

the horizontal alignment for this text node

Since:

1.3

setHorizontalAlignment

public void setHorizontalAlignment(float horizontalAlignment)

Set the horizontal alignment for this text node to horizontalAlignment.

Parameters:

horizontalAlignment - horizontal alignment, must be one of Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT, Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT, or Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT

Since:

1.3

getTextPaint

public Paint getTextPaint()

Return the paint used to paint this node's text.

Returns:

the paint used to paint this node's text

setTextPaint

public void setTextPaint(Paint textPaint)

Set the paint used to paint this node's text to textPaint.

This is a bound property.

Parameters:

textPaint - text paint

isConstrainWidthToTextWidth

public boolean isConstrainWidthToTextWidth()

Return true if this text node should constrain its width to the width of its text. Defaults to true.

Returns:

true if this text node should constrain its width to the width of its text

setConstrainWidthToTextWidth

public void setConstrainWidthToTextWidth(boolean constrainWidthToTextWidth)

Set to true if this text node should constrain its width to the width of its text.

Parameters:

constrainWidthToTextWidth - true if this text node should constrain its width to the width of its text

isConstrainHeightToTextHeight

public boolean isConstrainHeightToTextHeight()

Return true if this text node should constrain its height to the height of its text. Defaults to true.

Returns:

true if this text node should constrain its height to the height of its text

setConstrainHeightToTextHeight

public void setConstrainHeightToTextHeight(boolean constrainHeightToTextHeight)

Parameters:

constrainHeightToTextHeight - true if this text node should constrain its height to the width of its text

getGreekThreshold

public double getGreekThreshold()

Return the greek threshold in screen font size. When the screen font size will be below this threshold the text is rendered as 'greek' instead of drawing the text glyphs. Defaults to DEFAULT_GREEK_THRESHOLD.

Returns:

the current greek threshold in screen font size

See Also:

• paintGreek(PPaintContext)

setGreekThreshold

public void setGreekThreshold(double greekThreshold)

Set the greek threshold in screen font size to greekThreshold. When the screen font size will be below this threshold the text is rendered as 'greek' instead of drawing the text glyphs.

Parameters:

greekThreshold - greek threshold in screen font size

See Also:

• paintGreek(PPaintContext)

getText

public String getText()

Return the text for this text node. Defaults to DEFAULT_TEXT.

the text for this text node

setText

public void setText(String newText)

Set the text for this node to text. The text will be broken up into multiple lines based on the size of the text and the bounds width of this node.

This is a bound property.

Parameters:

newText - text for this text node

getFont

public Font getFont()

Return the font for this text node. Defaults to DEFAULT_FONT.

Returns:

the font for this text node

setFont

public void setFont(Font font)

Set the font for this text node to font. Note that in Piccolo if you want to change the size of a text object it's often a better idea to scale the PText node instead of changing the font size to get that same effect. Using very large font sizes can slow performance.

This is a bound property.

Parameters:

font - font for this text node

recomputeLayout

public void recomputeLayout()

Compute the bounds of the text wrapped by this node. The text layout is wrapped based on the bounds of this node.

computeNextLayout

protected TextLayout computeNextLayout(LineBreakMeasurer lineBreakMeasurer,
 float availableWidth,
 int nextLineBreakOffset)

Compute the next layout using the specified line break measurer, available width, and next line break offset.

Parameters:

lineBreakMeasurer - line break measurer

availableWidth - available width

nextLineBreakOffset - next line break offset

Returns:

the next layout computed using the specified line break measurer, available width, and next line break offset

Parameters:

paintContext - paint context

Since:

1.3

paintText

protected void paintText(PPaintContext paintContext)

Paint text with the specified paint context.

Parameters:

paintContext - paint context

Since:

1.3

paint

protected void paint(PPaintContext paintContext)

Paint this node behind any of its children nodes. Subclasses that define a different appearance should override this method and paint themselves there.

Overrides:

paint in class PNode

Parameters:

paintContext - the paint context to use for painting the node

internalUpdateBounds

protected void internalUpdateBounds(double x,
 double y,
 double width,
 double height)

Gives nodes a chance to update their internal structure before bounds changed notifications are sent. When this message is recived the nodes bounds field will contain the new value. See PPath for an example that uses this method.

Overrides:

internalUpdateBounds in class PNode

Parameters:

x - x position of bounds

y - y position of bounds

width - width to apply to the bounds

height - height to apply to the bounds
