Method Detail

copy

FixedGlueComponent copy()

Create a copy of this instance with the same order and value.

Returns:

a new copy of this instance

eq

boolean eq(FixedGlueComponent d)

Compares the current instance with another GlueComponent for equality.

Parameters:

d - the other GlueComponent to compare to. If this parameter is null then the comparison fails.

Returns:

true iff |this| == |d| and ord(this) == ord(d)

ge

boolean ge(FixedGlueComponent d)

Compares the current instance with another GlueComponent.

Parameters:

d - the other GlueComponent to compare to

Returns:

true iff this is greater or equal to d

getOrder

byte getOrder()

Getter for order.

Returns:

the order.

getValue

long getValue()

Getter for the value in scaled points (sp).

Returns:

the value in internal units of scaled points (sp)

gt

boolean gt(FixedGlueComponent d)

Compares the current instance with another GlueComponent.

Parameters:

d - the other GlueComponent to compare to

Returns:

true iff ord(this) == ord(d) && |this| > |d| or ord(this) > ord(d)

le

boolean le(FixedGlueComponent d)

Compares the current instance with another GlueComponent.

Parameters:

d - the other GlueComponent to compare to

Returns:

true iff this is less or equal to d

lt

boolean lt(FixedGlueComponent d)

Compares the current instance with another GlueComponent.

Parameters:

d - the other GlueComponent to compare to

Returns:

true iff ord(this) == ord(d) && |this| < |d| or ord(this) < ord(d)

ne

boolean ne(FixedGlueComponent d)

Compares the current instance with another GlueComponent for equality.

Parameters:

d - the other GlueComponent to compare to. If this parameter is null then the comparison fails.

Returns:

false iff |this| == |d| and ord(this) == ord(d)

toString

java.lang.String toString()

Determine the printable representation of the object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the printable representation

See Also:

toString(StringBuffer)

toString

void toString(java.lang.StringBuffer sb)

Determine the printable representation of the object and append it to the given StringBuffer.

Parameters:

sb - the output string buffer
