public final class NumericShaper

The NumericShaper class is used to convert Latin-1 (European) digits to other Unicode decimal digits. Users of this class will primarily be people who wish to present data using national digit shapes, but find it more convenient to represent the data internally using Latin-1 (European) digits. This does not interpret the deprecated numeric shape selector character (U+206E).

Instances of NumericShaper are typically applied as attributes to text with the NUMERIC_SHAPING attribute of the TextAttribute class. For example, this code snippet causes a TextLayout to shape European digits to Arabic in an Arabic context:

 Map map = new HashMap();
 map.put(TextAttribute.NUMERIC_SHAPING, 
     NumericShaper.getContextualShaper(NumericShaper.ARABIC));
 FontRenderContext frc = ...;
 TextLayout layout = new TextLayout(text, map, frc);
 layout.draw(g2d, x, y);

It is also possible to perform numeric shaping explicitly using instances of NumericShaper, as this code snippet demonstrates:

   char[] text = ...;
   // shape all EUROPEAN digits (except zero) to ARABIC digits
   NumericShaper shaper = NumericShaper.getShaper(NumericShaper.ARABIC);
   shaper.shape(text, start, count);

   // shape European digits to ARABIC digits if preceding text is Arabic, or
   // shape European digits to TAMIL digits if preceding text is Tamil, or
   // leave European digits alone if there is no preceding text, or 
   // preceding text is neither Arabic nor Tamil
   NumericShaper shaper = 
      NumericShaper.getContextualShaper(NumericShaper.ARABIC | 
                                              NumericShaper.TAMIL,
                                              NumericShaper.EUROPEAN);
   shaper.shape(text. start, count);

Method Detail

getShaper

public static NumericShaper getShaper(int singleRange)

Returns a shaper for the provided unicode range. All Latin-1 (EUROPEAN) digits are converted to the corresponding decimal unicode digits.

Parameters:: singleRange - the specified Unicode range
Returns:: a non-contextual numeric shaper
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the range is not a single range

getContextualShaper

public static NumericShaper getContextualShaper(int ranges)

Returns a contextual shaper for the provided unicode range(s). Latin-1 (EUROPEAN) digits are converted to the decimal digits corresponding to the range of the preceding text, if the range is one of the provided ranges. Multiple ranges are represented by or-ing the values together, such as, NumericShaper.ARABIC | NumericShaper.THAI. The shaper assumes EUROPEAN as the starting context, that is, if EUROPEAN digits are encountered before any strong directional text in the string, the context is presumed to be EUROPEAN, and so the digits will not shape.

Parameters:: ranges - the specified Unicode ranges
Returns:: a shaper for the specified ranges

getContextualShaper

public static NumericShaper getContextualShaper(int ranges,
                                                int defaultContext)

Returns a contextual shaper for the provided unicode range(s). Latin-1 (EUROPEAN) digits will be converted to the decimal digits corresponding to the range of the preceding text, if the range is one of the provided ranges. Multiple ranges are represented by or-ing the values together, for example, NumericShaper.ARABIC | NumericShaper.THAI. The shaper uses defaultContext as the starting context.

Parameters:: ranges - the specified Unicode ranges; defaultContext - the starting context, such as NumericShaper.EUROPEAN
Returns:: a shaper for the specified Unicode ranges.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the specified defaultContext is not a single valid range.

shape

public void shape(char[] text,
                  int start,
                  int count)

Converts the digits in the text that occur between start and start + count.

Parameters:: text - an array of characters to convert; start - the index into text to start converting; count - the number of characters in text to convert
Throws:: IndexOutOfBoundsException - if start or start + count is out of bounds; NullPointerException - if text is null

shape

public void shape(char[] text,
                  int start,
                  int count,
                  int context)

Converts the digits in the text that occur between start and start + count, using the provided context. Context is ignored if the shaper is not a contextual shaper.

Parameters:: text - an array of characters; start - the index into text to start converting; count - the number of characters in text to convert; context - the context to which to convert the characters, such as NumericShaper.EUROPEAN
Throws:: IndexOutOfBoundsException - if start or start + count is out of bounds; NullPointerException - if text is null; IllegalArgumentException - if this is a contextual shaper and the specified context is not a single valid range.

isContextual

public boolean isContextual()

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not this shaper shapes contextually.

Returns:: true if this shaper is contextual; false otherwise.

getRanges

public int getRanges()

Returns an int that ORs together the values for all the ranges that will be shaped.

For example, to check if a shaper shapes to Arabic, you would use the following:

if ((shaper.getRanges() & shaper.ARABIC) != 0) { ...

Returns:: the values for all the ranges to be shaped.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code for this shaper.

Overrides:: hashCode in class Object

Returns:: this shaper's hash code.
See Also:: Object.hashCode()

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Returns true if the specified object is an instance of NumericShaper and shapes identically to this one.

Overrides:: equals in class Object

Parameters:: o - the specified object to compare to this NumericShaper
Returns:: true if o is an instance of NumericShaper and shapes in the same way; false otherwise.
See Also:: Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String that describes this shaper. This method is used for debugging purposes only.

Overrides:: toString in class Object

Returns:: a String describing this shaper.
