    The direction of the text (0, 90, 180, or 270)
  - getX
```
public float getX()

    This will get the page rotation adjusted x position of the character. This is adjusted based on page rotation so that the upper left is 0,0.
    
    Returns:
    
    The x coordinate of the character.
  - getXDirAdj
```
public float getXDirAdj()
```
    This will get the text direction adjusted x position of the character. This is adjusted based on text direction so that the first character in that direction is in the upper left at 0,0.
    
    Returns:
    
    The x coordinate of the text.
  - getY
```
public float getY()
```
    This will get the y position of the text, adjusted so that 0,0 is upper left and it is adjusted based on the page rotation.
    
    Returns:
    
    The adjusted y coordinate of the character.
  - getYDirAdj
```
public float getYDirAdj()
```
    This will get the y position of the text, adjusted so that 0,0 is upper left and it is adjusted based on the text direction.

public boolean contains(TextPosition tp2)

    Determine if this TextPosition logically contains another (i.e. they overlap and should be rendered on top of each other).
    
    Parameters:
    
    tp2 - The other TestPosition to compare against
    
    Returns:
    
    True if tp2 is contained in the bounding box of this text.
  - mergeDiacritic
```
public void mergeDiacritic(TextPosition diacritic)
```
    Merge a single character TextPosition into the current object. This is to be used only for cases where we have a diacritic that overlaps an existing TextPosition. In a graphical display, we could overlay them, but for text extraction we need to merge them. Use the contains() method to test if two objects overlap.
    
    Parameters:
    
    diacritic - TextPosition to merge into the current TextPosition.
  - isDiacritic
```
public boolean isDiacritic()
```
    Returns:
    
    True if the current character is a diacritic char.
  - toString
```
