Enum Class TextBoundsType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<TextBoundsType>

javafx.scene.text.TextBoundsType

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, Comparable<TextBoundsType>, Constable

public enum TextBoundsType extends Enum<TextBoundsType>

Specifies the behaviour of bounds reporting by Text nodes. The setting affects layoutBounds, boundsInLocal and boundsInParent The geometry of text can be measured either in terms of the bounds of the particular text to be rendered - visual bounds, or as properties of the font and the characters to be rendered - logical bounds. Visual bounds are more useful for positioning text as graphics, and for obtaining tight enclosing bounds around the text.

Logical bounds are important for laying out text relative to other text and other components, particularly those which also contain text. The bounds aren't specific to the text being rendered, and so will report heights which account for the potential ascent and descent of text using the font at its specified size. Also leading and trailing spaces are part of the logical advance width of the text.

Since:: JavaFX 2.0

Enum Constant Details

LOGICAL

public static final TextBoundsType LOGICAL

Use logical bounds as the basis for calculating the bounds.

The logical bounds are based on font metrics information. The width is based on the glyph advances and the height of the ascent, descent, and line gap, except for the last line which does not include the line gap.

Note: This is usually the fastest option.

VISUAL

public static final TextBoundsType VISUAL

Use visual bounds as the basis for calculating the bounds.

Note: This is likely to be slower than using logical bounds.

LOGICAL_VERTICAL_CENTER

public static final TextBoundsType LOGICAL_VERTICAL_CENTER

Use logical vertical centered bounds as the basis for calculating the bounds.

This bounds type is typically used to center Text nodes vertically within the bounds of its parent.

Since:: JavaFX 8.0

Method Details

values

public static TextBoundsType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:: an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static TextBoundsType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:: name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:: the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name; NullPointerException - if the argument is null
