Field Summary

static int	NORMAL_ORDER The constant NORMAL_ORDER contains the value for the normal – immutable – order.
static FixedGlue	S_S The constant SS contains the glue for 0pt plus 1fil minus 1fil.
static FixedGlue	ZERO The constant ZERO contains the value of width 0pt without any stretchablity or shrinkability.

Method Summary

Glue	copy() Make a copy of this object.
boolean	eq(FixedGlue glue) Test that the given Glue is equal to a given one.
FixedDimen	getLength() Getter for the length.
FixedGlueComponent	getShrink() Getter for shrink.
FixedGlueComponent	getStretch() Getter for stretch.
boolean	ne(FixedGlue glue) Test that the given Glue is different from a given one.
java.lang.String	toString() Provide a string representation of this instance.

Field Detail

Constant Field Values

ZERO

static final FixedGlue ZERO

The constant ZERO contains the value of width 0pt without any stretchablity or shrinkability.

S_S

static final FixedGlue S_S

The constant SS contains the glue for 0pt plus 1fil minus 1fil.

Method Detail

copy

Glue copy()

Make a copy of this object.

Returns:

a new instance with the same internal values

eq

boolean eq(FixedGlue glue)

Test that the given Glue is equal to a given one.

Parameters:

glue - the glue to compare with

Returns:

true iff they are different

getLength

FixedDimen getLength()

Getter for the length. Note that the value returned is independent from the original object. Changing its value does not affect the length of the glue.

Returns:

the natural length

getShrink

FixedGlueComponent getShrink()

Getter for shrink. Note that the value returned is independent from the original object. Changing its value does not affect the shrink of the glue.

Returns:

the shrink.

getStretch

FixedGlueComponent getStretch()

Getter for stretch. Note that the value returned is independent from the original object. Changing its value does not affect the stretch of the glue.

Returns:

the stretch.

ne

boolean ne(FixedGlue glue)

Test that the given Glue is different from a given one.

Parameters:

glue - the glue to compare with

Returns:

true iff they are different

toString

java.lang.String toString()

Provide a string representation of this instance.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the string representation of this glue
