Class LayoutPath
java.lang.Object
java.awt.font.LayoutPath
LayoutPath provides a mapping between locations relative to the
baseline and points in user space. Locations consist of an advance
along the baseline, and an offset perpendicular to the baseline at
the advance. Positive values along the perpendicular are in the
direction that is 90 degrees clockwise from the baseline vector.
Locations are represented as a
Point2D
, where x is the advance and
y is the offset.- Since:

pointToPath
Convert a point in user space to a location relative to the path. The location is chosen so as to minimize the distance from the point to the path (e.g., the magnitude of the offset will be smallest). If there is more than one such location, the location with the smallest advance is chosen.- Parameters:
point
- the point to convert. If it is not the same object as location, point will remain unmodified by this call.location
- aPoint2D
to hold the returned location. It can be the same object as point.- Returns:
- true if the point is associated with the portion of the path preceding the location, false if it is associated with the portion following. The default, if the location is not at a break or sharp bend in the path, is to return true.
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if point or location is null- Since:
- 1.6
-
pathToPoint
Convert a location relative to the path to a point in user coordinates. The path might bend abruptly or be disjoint at the location's advance. If this is the case, the value of 'preceding' is used to disambiguate the portion of the path whose location and slope is to be used to interpret the offset.- Parameters:
location
- aPoint2D
representing the advance (in x) and offset (in y) of a location relative to the path. If location is not the same object as point, location will remain unmodified by this call.preceding
- if true, the portion preceding the advance should be used, if false the portion after should be used. This has no effect if the path does not break or bend sharply at the advance.point
- aPoint2D
to hold the returned point. It can be the same object as location.- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if location or point is null- Since:
