Function Documentation

◆ pl_close()

void pl_close ( pl_paragraph paragraph)

Close the given paragraph layout object.

Parameters
paragraphthe pl_paragraph object to be closed. Once this routine returns the object can no longer be referenced
Internal:
Do not use. This API is for internal use only.

◆ pl_closeLine()

void pl_closeLine ( pl_line line)

Close the given line object.

Line objects are created by pl_nextLine but it is the client's responsibility to close them by calling this routine.

Parameters
linethe pl_line object to close.
Internal:
Do not use. This API is for internal use only.

◆ pl_countLineRuns()

le_int32 pl_countLineRuns ( const pl_line line)

Count the number of visual runs in the line.

Parameters
linethe pl_line object.
Returns
the number of visual runs.
Internal:
Do not use. This API is for internal use only.

◆ pl_create()

pl_paragraph* pl_create ( const LEUnicode  chars[],
le_int32  count,
const pl_fontRuns fontRuns,
const pl_valueRuns levelRuns,
const pl_valueRuns scriptRuns,
const pl_localeRuns localeRuns,
UBiDiLevel  paragraphLevel,
le_bool  vertical,
LEErrorCode *  status 
)

Construct a ParagraphLayout object for a styled paragraph.

The paragraph is specified as runs of text all in the same font. An LEFontInstance object and a limit offset are specified for each font run. The limit offset is the offset of the character immediately after the font run.

Clients can optionally specify directional runs and / or script runs. If these aren't specified they will be computed.

If any errors are encountered during construction, status will be set, and the object will be set to be empty.

Parameters
charsis an array of the characters in the paragraph
countis the number of characters in the paragraph.
fontRunsa pointer to a pl_fontRuns object representing the font runs.
levelRunsis a pointer to a pl_valueRuns object representing the directional levels. If this pointer in NULL the levels will be determined by running the Unicde Bidi algorithm.
scriptRunsis a pointer to a pl_valueRuns object representing script runs. If this pointer in NULL the script runs will be determined using the Unicode code points.
localeRunsis a pointer to a pl_localeRuns object representing locale runs. The Locale objects are used to determind the language of the text. If this pointer is NULL the default locale will be used for all of the text.
paragraphLevelis the directionality of the paragraph, as in the UBiDi object.
verticalis TRUE if the paragraph should be set vertically.
statuswill be set to any error code encountered during construction.
Returns
a pointer to the newly created pl_paragraph object. The object will remain valid until pl_close is called.
