Class Overview

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);

Public Methods

public boolean equals (Object o)

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

public int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code for this shaper.

Returns
  • this shaper's hash code.

public boolean isContextual ()

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

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

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.

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

public String toString ()

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

Returns
  • a String describing this shaper.
