ScriptRun

Class Overview

ScriptRun is used to find runs of characters in the same script, as defined in the Script class. It implements a simple iterator over an array of characters. The iterator will assign COMMON and INHERITED characters to the same script as the preceeding characters. If the COMMON and INHERITED characters are first, they will be assigned to the same script as the following characters. The iterator will try to match paired punctuation. If it sees an opening punctuation character, it will remember the script that was assigned to that character, and assign the same script to the matching closing punctuation. No attempt is made to combine related scripts into a single run. In particular, Hiragana, Katakana, and Han characters will appear in seperate runs. Here is an example of how to iterate over script runs:

 void printScriptRuns(char[] text)
 {
     ScriptRun scriptRun = new ScriptRun(text, 0, text.length);

     while (scriptRun.next()) {
         int start  = scriptRun.getScriptStart();
         int limit  = scriptRun.getScriptLimit();
         int script = scriptRun.getScriptCode();

         System.out.println("Script \"" + Script.getName(script) + "\" from " +
                            start + " to " + limit + ".");
     }
  }
 

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Methods

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
