      org.extex.unit.base.register.CharCode

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, CountConvertible, Code, ExpandableCode, Showable, Theable

public class CharCode
extends AbstractCode
implements ExpandableCode, CountConvertible, Showable, Theable

This class provides an implementation for a Code which represents a single character. The code is executable, expandable, and convertible into a count register. The token returned by expansion depends on the category code at the time of expansion.

Constructor Detail

CharCode

public CharCode(CodeToken token,
                UnicodeChar uc)

Creates a new object.

Parameters:

token - the initial token for the primitive

uc - the Unicode character to encapsulate

Method Detail

convertCount

public long convertCount(Context context,
                         TokenSource source,
                         Typesetter typesetter)
                  throws HelpingException,
                         TypesetterException

This method converts a register into a count. It might be necessary to read further tokens to determine which value to use. For instance an additional register number might be required. In this case the additional arguments Context and TokenSource can be used.

Specified by:

convertCount in interface CountConvertible

Parameters:

context - the interpreter context

source - the source for new tokens

typesetter - the typesetter to use for conversion

Returns:

the converted value

Throws:

HelpingException - in case of an error

TypesetterException - in case of an error in the typesetter

See Also:

CountConvertible.convertCount( org.extex.interpreter.context.Context, org.extex.interpreter.TokenSource, Typesetter)

execute

public void execute(Flags prefix,
                    Context context,
                    TokenSource source,
                    Typesetter typesetter)
             throws HelpingException,
                    TypesetterException

This method takes the first token and executes it. The result is placed on the stack. This operation might have side effects. To execute a token it might be necessary to consume further tokens.

Specified by:

execute in interface Code

Overrides:

execute in class AbstractCode

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix controlling the execution

context - the interpreter context

source - the token source

typesetter - the typesetter

Throws:

HelpingException - in case of an error

TypesetterException - in case of an error in the typesetter

See Also:

Code.execute( org.extex.interpreter.Flags, org.extex.interpreter.context.Context, org.extex.interpreter.TokenSource, org.extex.typesetter.Typesetter)

expand

public void expand(Flags prefix,
                   Context context,
                   TokenSource source,
                   Typesetter typesetter)
            throws HelpingException

This method takes the first token and expands it. The result is placed on the stack. This means that expandable code does one step of expansion and puts the result on the stack. To expand a token it might be necessary to consume further tokens.

Specified by:

expand in interface ExpandableCode

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix flags controlling the expansion

context - the interpreter context

source - the token source

typesetter - the typesetter

Throws:

HelpingException - in case of an error

See Also:

ExpandableCode.expand( org.extex.interpreter.Flags, org.extex.interpreter.context.Context, org.extex.interpreter.TokenSource, org.extex.typesetter.Typesetter)

getCharacter

public UnicodeChar getCharacter()

Getter for character.

Returns:

the character

show

public Tokens show(Context context)
            throws HelpingException

This method is the getter for the description of the primitive.

Specified by:

show in interface Showable

Parameters:

context - the interpreter context

Returns:

the description of the primitive as list of Tokens

Throws:

HelpingException - in case of an error

See Also:

Showable.show( org.extex.interpreter.context.Context)

the

public Tokens the(Context context,
                  TokenSource source,
                  Typesetter typesetter)
           throws CatcodeException,
                  HelpingException,
                  TypesetterException

This method is the getter for the description of the primitive.

Specified by:

the in interface Theable

Parameters:

context - the interpreter context

source - the source for further tokens to qualify the request

typesetter - the typesetter to use

Returns:

the description of the primitive as list of Tokens

Throws:

CatcodeException - in case of an error in token creation

ConfigurationException - in case of an configuration error

HelpingException - in case of an error

TypesetterException - in case of an error

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:
