Method Detail

setGlyphOrientation

void setGlyphOrientation(int orientation)
                  throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Sets the orientation of the glyphs. This is the rotation of every individual character in the line. The default value is GLYPH_DEFAULT, that is, the glyphs point towards the source of the given block progression. Use the GLYPH constants for the orientation.

Parameters:

orientation - Orientation to be set for the glyphs (i.e. the rotation of every individual character of the line of text)

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the orientation parameter is not allowed

Since:

7.1

See Also:

getGlyphOrientation(), GLYPH_DEFAULT, GLYPH_UP, GLYPH_DOWN, GLYPH_RIGHT, GLYPH_LEFT

getGlyphOrientation

int getGlyphOrientation()

Returns the glyph orientation. This is the rotation of every individual character in the line. The default value is GLYPH_DEFAULT, that is, the glyphs point towards the source of the given block progression. Use the GLYPH constants for the orientation.

Returns:

glyph orientation

Since:

7.1

See Also:

setGlyphOrientation(int), GLYPH_DEFAULT, GLYPH_UP, GLYPH_DOWN, GLYPH_RIGHT, GLYPH_LEFT

setTextRotation

void setTextRotation(int rotation)

Sets the value of the property 'text rotation'. This property defines a final rotation of the entire element after the text is laid out. For example, to have a text element have vertical text running from top to bottom and each line run from right to left, you'd set a glyph orientation of GLYPH_LEFT and a text rotation of ROTATE_270.

Parameters:

rotation - The new value of the property 'text rotation'. Rotation is done counter-clockwise.

Since:

7.1

See Also:

ROTATE_0, ROTATE_90, ROTATE_180, ROTATE_270

getTextRotation

int getTextRotation()

Returns the value of the property 'text rotation'. This property defines a final rotation of the entire element after the text is laid out. For example, to have a text element have vertical text running from top to bottom and each line run from right to left, you'd set a glyph orientation of GLYPH_LEFT and a text rotation of ROTATE_270.

Returns:

The value of the property 'text rotation'.

Since:

7.1

See Also:

ROTATE_0, ROTATE_90, ROTATE_180, ROTATE_270

getTextRotationFormula

FormulaField getTextRotationFormula()

Returns the formula whose return value determines the property 'text rotation'. This property defines a final rotation of the entire element after the text is laid out. This formula should return one of the formula constants Rotate0, Rotate90, Rotate180, or Rotate270.

Returns:

formula whose return value determines the property 'text rotation'.

Since:

8.0

See Also:

getTextRotation(), setTextRotation(int)

setTextRotationFormula

void setTextRotationFormula(FormulaField formula)

Sets the formula whose return value determines the property 'text rotation'. This property defines a final rotation of the entire element after the text is laid out. This formula should return one of the formula constants Rotate0, Rotate90, Rotate180, or Rotate270.

Parameters:

formula - formula whose return value determines the property 'text rotation'.

Since:

8.0

See Also:

getTextRotation(), setTextRotation(int)

getGlyphOrientationFormula

FormulaField getGlyphOrientationFormula()

Returns the formula whose return value determines the glyph orientation. This is the rotation of every individual character in each line. This formula should return one of the formula constants GlyphDefault, GlyphLeft, GlyphRight, or GlyphDown.

Returns:

the formula whose return value determines the glyph orientation

Since:

8.0

setGlyphOrientationFormula

void setGlyphOrientationFormula(FormulaField formula)

Sets the formula whose return value determines the glyph orientation. This is the rotation of every individual character in each line. This formula should return one of the formula constants GlyphDefault, GlyphLeft, GlyphRight, or GlyphDown.

Parameters:

formula - the formula whose return value determines the glyph orientation

Since:

8.0
