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 FlowView

  Parameters:

  parent - the new parent, or null if the view is being removed from a parent it was previously added to

• 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

• setPropertiesFromAttributes

  protected void setPropertiesFromAttributes()

  Sets up the paragraph from css attributes instead of the values found in StyleConstants (i.e. which are used by the superclass). Since

  Overrides:

  setPropertiesFromAttributes in class ParagraphView

• getStyleSheet

  protected StyleSheet getStyleSheet()

• calculateMinorAxisRequirements

  protected SizeRequirements calculateMinorAxisRequirements(int axis,
                                                SizeRequirements r)

  Calculate the needs for the paragraph along the minor axis.

  If size requirements are explicitly specified for the paragraph, use that requirements. Otherwise, use the requirements of the superclass ParagraphView.

  If the axis parameter is neither View.X_AXIS nor View.Y_AXIS, IllegalArgumentException is thrown. If the r parameter is null, a new SizeRequirements object is created, otherwise the supplied SizeRequirements object is returned.

  Overrides:

  calculateMinorAxisRequirements in class ParagraphView

  Parameters:

  axis - the minor axis

  r - the input SizeRequirements object

  Returns:

  the new or adjusted SizeRequirements object

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if the axis parameter is invalid

  Overrides:

  getMinimumSpan in class BoxView

  Parameters:

  the minimum span the view can be rendered into
