Class MultiLineTextRenderer


  • public class MultiLineTextRenderer
    extends java.lang.Object
    Multi line, rectangle bound text renderer with (very) minimal html support.

    The MultiLineTextRenderer (MLTR) handles wrapping, measuring and drawing of multiline text strings using Sun's JOGL TextRenderer.

    A multiline text string is a character string containing new line characters in between lines.

    MLTR can handle both regular text with new line separators and a very minimal implementation of HTML. Each type of text has its own methods though.

    Usage:

    Instantiation:

    The MLTR needs a Font or a TextRenderer to be instantiated. This will be the font used for text drawing, wrapping and measuring. For HTML methods this font will be considered as the document default font.

     Font font = Font.decode("Arial-PLAIN-12");
     MultiLineTextRenderer mltr = new MultiLineTextRenderer(font);
     
    or
     TextRenderer tr = new TextRenderer(Font.decode("Arial-PLAIN-10"));
     MultiLineTextRenderer mltr = new MultiLineTextRenderer(tr);
     

    Drawing regular text:

     String text = "Line one.\nLine two.\nLine three...";
     int x = 10;             // Upper left corner of text rectangle.
     int y = 200;            // Origin at bottom left of screen.
     int lineHeight = 14;    // Line height in pixels.
     Color color = Color.RED;
     mltr.setTextColor(color);
     mltr.getTextRenderer().begin3DRendering();
     mltr.draw(text, x, y, lineHeight);
     mltr.getTextRenderer().end3DRendering();
     

    Wrapping text to fit inside a width and optionally a height

    The MLTR wrap method will insert new line characters inside the text so that it fits a given width in pixels.

    If a height dimension above zero is specified too, the text will be truncated if needed, and a continuation string will be appended to the last line. The continuation string can be set with mltr.setContinuationString();

     // Fit inside 300 pixels, no height constraint
     String wrappedText = mltr.wrap(text, new Dimension(300, 0));
     // Fit inside 300x400 pixels, text may be truncated
     String wrappedText = mltr.wrap(text, new Dimension(300, 400));
     

    Measuring text

     Rectangle2D textBounds = mltr.getBounds(text);
     

    The textBounds rectangle returned contains the width and height of the text as it would be drawn with the current font.

    Note that textBounds.minX is the number of lines found and textBounds.minY is the maximum line height for the font used. This value can be safely used as the lineHeight argument when drawing - or can even be ommited after a getBounds: draw(text, x, y); ...

    HTML support

    Supported tags are:

    • <p></p>, <br> <br />
    • <b></b>
    • <i></i>
    • <a href="..."></a>
    • <font color="#ffffff"></font>
    ...

    See AbstractAnnotation.drawAnnotation() for more usage details.
