Class InterElementAttribute

java.lang.Object

com.adobe.fontengine.inlineformatting.InterElementAttribute

All Implemented Interfaces:

Attribute

public final class InterElementAttribute
extends Object
implements Attribute

This class defines attributes which can be placed between elements on AttributedRuns.

In addition to defining the type for inter element attribute keys, this class defines a number of well-known inter element attributes, and in particular all the attributes which are exchanged between an inline formatter and its clients. For each such attribute, we define the possible values.

Other InterElementAttribute objects can be created and used by the client of an inline formatter. However, these keys will be ignored by the inline formatters of this package.

Concurrency

Instances of this class are immutable after construction and contain no mutable static data. Therefore, they are threadsafe.

Field Detail

ligatureLevel

public static final InterElementAttribute ligatureLevel

The maximimum level of ligature crossing this inter element boundary. The value must be a LigatureLevel; see that class for the ordering.

If the character stream contains explicit indications about ligatures (e.g. if U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER or U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER is present), then those indications override precedence over this attribute. The interpretation of those characters in terms of ligature levels depend on the script, but they are always equivalent to the smallest level (LigatureLevel.NONE) or the highest level (LigatureLevel.COMMON).
