This event is sent to BidiSegmentListeners when a line is to
be measured or rendered in a bidi locale.
The segments field can be used in conjunction with the segmentsChars
field or by itself. Setting only the segmentsChars field has no effect.
When used by itself, the segments field specify text ranges in the line
that should be treated as separate segments for bidi reordering. Each
segment will be reordered and rendered separately.
The elements in the segments field specify the start offset of a segment relative to the start of the line. They must follow the following rules:
- elements must be in ascending order and must not have duplicates
- elements must not exceed the line length
The segments field may be left null if the entire line should be reordered as is.
A BidiSegmentListener may be used when adjacent segments of right-to-left text should not be reordered relative to each other. For example, within a Java editor, you may wish multiple right-to-left string literals to be reordered differently than the bidi algorithm specifies. Example:stored line = "R1R2R3" + "R4R5R6" R1 to R6 are right-to-left characters. The quotation marks are part of the line text. The line is 13 characters long. segments = null: entire line will be reordered and thus the two R2L segments swapped (as per the bidi algorithm). visual line (rendered on screen) = "R6R5R4" + "R3R2R1" segments = [0, 5, 8] "R1R2R3" will be reordered, followed by [blank]+[blank] and "R4R5R6". visual line = "R3R2R1" + "R6R5R4"
The segments and segmentsChars fields can be used together to obtain different types of bidi reordering and text display. The application can use these two fields to insert Unicode Control Characters in specific offsets in the line, the character at segmentsChars[i] is inserted at the offset specified by segments[i]. When both fields are set, the rules for the segments field are less restrictive:
- elements must be in ascending order, duplicates are allowed
- elements must not exceed the line length
