```
public BlockView(Element elem,
         int axis)
```
    Creates a new view that represents an html box. This can be used for a number of elements.
    
    Parameters:
    elem - the element to create a view for
    axis - either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS
- Method Detail
  - setParent
```
public void setParent(View parent)
```
    Establishes the parent view for this view. This is guaranteed to be called before any other methods if the parent view is functioning properly.
    This is implemented to forward to the superclass as well as call the setPropertiesFromAttributes() method to set the paragraph properties from the css attributes. The call is made at this time to ensure the ability to resolve upward through the parents view attributes.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setParent in class CompositeView
    
    Parameters:
    parent - the new parent, or null if the view is being removed from a parent it was previously added to
  - calculateMajorAxisRequirements
```
protected SizeRequirements calculateMajorAxisRequirements(int axis,
                                              SizeRequirements r)
```
    Calculate the requirements of the block along the major axis (i.e. the axis along with it tiles). This is implemented to provide the superclass behavior and then adjust it if the CSS width or height attribute is specified and applicable to the axis.
    
    Overrides:
    
    calculateMajorAxisRequirements in class BoxView
    
    Parameters:
    axis - the axis being studied
    r - the SizeRequirements object; if null one will be created
    
    Returns:
    the newly initialized SizeRequirements object
    See Also:
    SizeRequirements
  - calculateMinorAxisRequirements
```
protected SizeRequirements calculateMinorAxisRequirements(int axis,
                                              SizeRequirements r)
```
    Calculate the requirements of the block along the minor axis (i.e. the axis orthoginal to the axis along with it tiles). This is implemented to provide the superclass behavior and then adjust it if the CSS width or height attribute is specified and applicable to the axis.
    
    Overrides:
    
    calculateMinorAxisRequirements in class BoxView
    
    Parameters:
    axis - the axis being studied
    r - the SizeRequirements object; if null one will be created
    
    Returns:
    the newly initialized SizeRequirements object
    See Also:
    SizeRequirements
  - layoutMinorAxis
```
protected void layoutMinorAxis(int targetSpan,
                   int axis,
                   int[] offsets,
                   int[] spans)
```
    Performs layout for the minor axis of the box (i.e. the axis orthoginal to the axis that it represents). The results of the layout (the offset and span for each children) are placed in the given arrays which represent the allocations to the children along the minor axis.
    
    Overrides:
    
    layoutMinorAxis in class BoxView
    
    Parameters:
    targetSpan - the total span given to the view, which whould be used to layout the childre.
    axis - the axis being layed out
    offsets - the offsets from the origin of the view for each of the child views; this is a return value and is filled in by the implementation of this method
    spans - the span of each child view; this is a return value and is filled in by the implementation of this method
  - paint
```
public void paint(Graphics g,
         Shape allocation)
```
    Renders using the given rendering surface and area on that surface. This is implemented to delegate to the css box painter to paint the border and background prior to the interior.
    
    Overrides:
    
    paint in class BoxView
    
    Parameters:
    g - the rendering surface to use
    allocation - the allocated region to render into
    See Also:
    View.paint(java.awt.Graphics, java.awt.Shape)
  - getAttributes
```
public AttributeSet getAttributes()
```
    Fetches the attributes to use when rendering. This is implemented to multiplex the attributes specified in the model with a StyleSheet.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getAttributes in class View
  - getResizeWeight
```
public int getResizeWeight(int axis)
```
    Gets the resize weight.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getResizeWeight in class BoxView
    
    Parameters:
    axis - may be either X_AXIS or Y_AXIS
    
    Returns:
    the weight
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - for an invalid axis
  - getAlignment
```
public float getAlignment(int axis)
```
    Gets the alignment.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getAlignment in class BoxView
    
    Parameters:
    axis - may be either X_AXIS or Y_AXIS
    
    Returns:
    the alignment
  - changedUpdate
```
public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent changes,
                 Shape a,
                 ViewFactory f)
```
    Description copied from class: View
    Gives notification from the document that attributes were changed in a location that this view is responsible for. To reduce the burden to subclasses, this functionality is spread out into the following calls that subclasses can reimplement:
    1. updateChildren is called if there were any changes to the element this view is responsible for. If this view has child views that are represent the child elements, then this method should do whatever is necessary to make sure the child views correctly represent the model.
    2. forwardUpdate is called to forward the DocumentEvent to the appropriate child views.
    3. updateLayout is called to give the view a chance to either repair its layout, to reschedule layout, or do nothing.
    Overrides:
    
    changedUpdate in class View
    
    Parameters:
    changes - the change information from the associated document
    a - the current allocation of the view
    f - the factory to use to rebuild if the view has children
    See Also:
    View.changedUpdate(javax.swing.event.DocumentEvent, java.awt.Shape, javax.swing.text.ViewFactory)
  - getPreferredSpan
```
public float getPreferredSpan(int axis)
```
    Determines the preferred span for this view along an axis.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getPreferredSpan in class BoxView
    
    Parameters:
    axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS
    
    Returns:
    the span the view would like to be rendered into >= 0; typically the view is told to render into the span that is returned, although there is no guarantee; the parent may choose to resize or break the view
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - for an invalid axis type
    See Also:
    View.getPreferredSpan(int)
  - getMinimumSpan
```
public float getMinimumSpan(int axis)
```
    Determines the minimum span for this view along an axis.
    
    Overrides:

    Parameters:
    axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS
    
    Returns:
    the span the view would like to be rendered into >= 0; typically the view is told to render into the span that is returned, although there is no guarantee; the parent may choose to resize or break the view
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - for an invalid axis type
    See Also:
    View.getPreferredSpan(int)
  - getMaximumSpan
```
