  Tries to break this view on the given axis.

  Tries to break this view on the given axis. This is called by views that try to do formatting of their children. For example, a view of a paragraph will typically try to place its children into row and views representing chunks of text can sometimes be broken down into smaller pieces.

This is implemented to return the view itself, which represents the default behavior on not being breakable. If the view does support breaking, the starting offset of the view returned should be the given offset, and the end offset should be less than or equal to the end offset of the view being broken.
Returns: the fragment of the view that represents the given span, if the view can be broken. If the view doesn't support breaking behavior, the view itself is returned.
Parameters:
- axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS
- offset - the location in the document model that a broken fragment would occupy >= 0. This would be the starting offset of the fragment returned
- pos - the position along the axis that the broken view would occupy >= 0. This may be useful for things like tab calculations

  Determines in which direction the next view lays.

  Determines in which direction the next view lays. Consider the View at index n. Typically the Views are layed out from left to right, so that the View to the EAST will be at index n + 1, and the View to the WEST will be at index n - 1. In certain situations, such as with bidirectional text, it is possible that the View to EAST is not at index n + 1, but rather at index n - 1, or that the View to the WEST is not at index n - 1, but index n + 1. In this case this method would return true, indicating the Views are layed out in descending order.

Parameters:
- axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS
- len - specifies where a potential break is desired >= 0
See Also: View.getBreakWeight(int, float, float),

  Determines how attractive a break opportunity in this view is.

  Determines how attractive a break opportunity in this view is. This can be used for determining which view is the most attractive to call breakView on in the process of formatting. A view that represents text that has whitespace in it might be more attractive than a view that has no whitespace, for example. The higher the weight, the more attractive the break. A value equal to or lower than BadBreakWeight should not be considered for a break. A value greater than or equal to ForcedBreakWeight should be broken.

This is implemented to provide the default behavior of returning BadBreakWeight unless the length is greater than the length of the view in which case the entire view represents the fragment. Unless a view has been written to support breaking behavior, it is not attractive to try and break the view. An example of a view that does support breaking is LabelView. An example of a view that uses break weight is ParagraphView.
Returns: the weight, which should be a value between ForcedBreakWeight and BadBreakWeight
Parameters:
- axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS

LabelView is an example of a view that delegates its tab expansion needs upward to the paragraph.

This is implemented to try and locate a TabSet in the paragraph element's attribute set. If one can be found, its settings will be used, otherwise a default expansion will be provided. The base location for for tab expansion is the left inset from the paragraphs most recent allocation (which is what the layout of the children is based upon).
Returns: the trailing end of the tab expansion >= 0
Parameters:
- x - the X reference position
- tabOffset - the position within the text stream that the tab occurred at >= 0

  Paints a child.

  Paints a child. By default
that is all it does, but a subclass can use this to paint
things relative to the child.
Parameters:
- g - the graphics context
- alloc - the allocated region to paint into
- index - the child index, >= 0 && < getViewCount()

  This is called by a child to indicate its preferred span has changed.

  This is called by a child to indicate its
preferred span has changed. This is implemented to
throw away cached layout information so that new
calculations will be done the next time the children
need an allocation.
Parameters:
- child - the child view
- width - true if the width preference should change
- height - true if the height preference should change

  Removes one of the children at the given position.

  Removes one of the children at the given position.
This is a convenience call to replace.
Since: 1.3

  Removes all of the children.

  Removes all of the children. This is a convenience
call to replace.
Since: 1.3

  Gives notification that something was removed from the document in a location that this view is responsible for.

  Gives notification that something was removed from the document
in a location that this view is responsible for.
Parameters:
- changes - the change information from the associated document
- a - the current allocation of the view
- f - the factory to use to rebuild if the view has children
See Also: View.removeUpdate(javax.swing.event.DocumentEvent, java.awt.Shape, javax.swing.text.ViewFactory),

  Invalidates the layout and resizes the cache of requests/allocations.

  Invalidates the layout and resizes the cache of
requests/allocations. The child allocations can still
be accessed for the old layout, but the new children
will have an offset and span of 0.
Parameters:
- index - the starting index into the child views to insert the new views; this should be a value >= 0 and <= getViewCount
- length - the number of existing child views to remove; This should be a value >= 0 and <= (getViewCount() - offset)
- elems - the child views to add; this value can be nullto indicate no children are being added (useful to remove)

  Sets the tile axis property.

  Sets the tile axis property. This is the axis along which
the child views are tiled.
Parameters:
- axis - either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS
Since: 1.3

  Sets the indent on the first line.

  Sets the indent on the first line.
Parameters:
- fi - the value in points

  Sets the insets for the view.

  Sets the insets for the view.
Parameters:
- top - the top inset >= 0
- left - the left inset >= 0
- bottom - the bottom inset >= 0
- right - the right inset >= 0

  Sets the type of justification.

  Sets the type of justification.
Parameters:
- j - one of the following values:

• StyleConstants.ALIGN_LEFT
• StyleConstants.ALIGN_CENTER
• StyleConstants.ALIGN_RIGHT

  Sets the line spacing.

  Sets the line spacing.
Parameters:
- ls - the value is a factor of the line hight

  Sets the insets from the paragraph attributes specified in the given attributes.

  Sets the insets from the paragraph attributes specified in
the given attributes.
Parameters:
- attr - the attributes

  Sets the size of the view.

  Sets the size of the view. This should cause
layout of the view if the view caches any layout
information. This is implemented to call the
layout method with the sizes inside of the insets.
Parameters:
- width - the width >= 0
- height - the height >= 0

  Updates the child views in response to receiving notification that the model changed, and there is change record for the element this view is responsible for.

  Updates the child views in response to receiving notification
that the model changed, and there is change record for the
element this view is responsible for. This is implemented
to assume the child views are directly responsible for the
child elements of the element this view represents. The
ViewFactory is used to create child views for each element
specified as added in the ElementChange, starting at the
index specified in the given ElementChange. The number of
child views representing the removed elements specified are
removed.
Returns: whether or not the child views represent the child elements of the element this view is responsible for. Some views create children that represent a portion of the element they are responsible for, and should return false. This information is used to determine if views in the range of the added elements should be forwarded to or not
Parameters:
- ec - the change information for the element this view is responsible for. This should not be null if this method gets called
- e - the change information from the associated document
- f - the factory to use to build child views
Since: 1.3

  Updates the layout in response to receiving notification of change from the model.

  Updates the layout in response to receiving notification of
change from the model. This is implemented to call
preferenceChanged to reschedule a new layout
if the ElementChange record is not null.
Parameters:
- ec - changes to the element this view is responsible for (may be null if there were no changes)
- e - the change information from the associated document
- a - the current allocation of the view
Since: 1.3

  Provides a mapping from the view coordinate space to the logical coordinate space of the model.

  Provides a mapping from the view coordinate space to the logical
coordinate space of the model.
Returns: the location within the model that best represents the given point in the view >= 0
Parameters:
