+/**
+ *
+ * <code>TextLayout</code> is an immutable graphical representation of styled
+ * character data.
+ * <p>
+ * It provides the following capabilities:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>implicit bidirectional analysis and reordering,
+ * <li>cursor positioning and movement, including split cursors for
+ * mixed directional text,
+ * <li>highlighting, including both logical and visual highlighting
+ * for mixed directional text,
+ * <li>multiple baselines (roman, hanging, and centered),
+ * <li>hit testing,
+ * <li>justification,
+ * <li>default font substitution,
+ * <li>metric information such as ascent, descent, and advance, and
+ * <li>rendering
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * A <code>TextLayout</code> object can be rendered using
+ * its <code>draw</code> method.
+ * <p>
+ * <code>TextLayout</code> can be constructed either directly or through
+ * the use of a {@link LineBreakMeasurer}.  When constructed directly, the
+ * source text represents a single paragraph.  <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code>
+ * allows styled text to be broken into lines that fit within a particular
+ * width.  See the <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code> documentation for more
+ * information.
+ * <p>
+ * <code>TextLayout</code> construction logically proceeds as follows:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>paragraph attributes are extracted and examined,
+ * <li>text is analyzed for bidirectional reordering, and reordering
+ * information is computed if needed,
+ * <li>text is segmented into style runs
+ * <li>fonts are chosen for style runs, first by using a font if the
+ * attribute {@link TextAttribute#FONT} is present, otherwise by computing
+ * a default font using the attributes that have been defined
+ * <li>if text is on multiple baselines, the runs or subruns are further
+ * broken into subruns sharing a common baseline,
+ * <li>glyphvectors are generated for each run using the chosen font,
+ * <li>final bidirectional reordering is performed on the glyphvectors
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * All graphical information returned from a <code>TextLayout</code>
+ * object's methods is relative to the origin of the
+ * <code>TextLayout</code>, which is the intersection of the
+ * <code>TextLayout</code> object's baseline with its left edge.  Also,
+ * coordinates passed into a <code>TextLayout</code> object's methods
+ * are assumed to be relative to the <code>TextLayout</code> object's
+ * origin.  Clients usually need to translate between a
+ * <code>TextLayout</code> object's coordinate system and the coordinate
+ * system in another object (such as a
+ * {@link java.awt.Graphics Graphics} object).
+ * <p>
+ * <code>TextLayout</code> objects are constructed from styled text,
+ * but they do not retain a reference to their source text.  Thus,
+ * changes in the text previously used to generate a <code>TextLayout</code>
+ * do not affect the <code>TextLayout</code>.
+ * <p>
+ * Three methods on a <code>TextLayout</code> object
+ * (<code>getNextRightHit</code>, <code>getNextLeftHit</code>, and
+ * <code>hitTestChar</code>) return instances of {@link TextHitInfo}.
+ * The offsets contained in these <code>TextHitInfo</code> objects
+ * are relative to the start of the <code>TextLayout</code>, <b>not</b>
+ * to the text used to create the <code>TextLayout</code>.  Similarly,
+ * <code>TextLayout</code> methods that accept <code>TextHitInfo</code>
+ * instances as parameters expect the <code>TextHitInfo</code> object's
+ * offsets to be relative to the <code>TextLayout</code>, not to any
+ * underlying text storage model.
+ * <p>
+ * <strong>Examples</strong>:<p>
+ * Constructing and drawing a <code>TextLayout</code> and its bounding
+ * rectangle:
+ * <blockquote><pre>
+ *   Graphics2D g = ...;
+ *   Point2D loc = ...;
+ *   Font font = Font.getFont("Helvetica-bold-italic");
+ *   FontRenderContext frc = g.getFontRenderContext();
+ *   TextLayout layout = new TextLayout("This is a string", font, frc);
+ *   layout.draw(g, (float)loc.getX(), (float)loc.getY());
+ *
+ *   Rectangle2D bounds = layout.getBounds();
+ *   bounds.setRect(bounds.getX()+loc.getX(),
+ *                  bounds.getY()+loc.getY(),
+ *                  bounds.getWidth(),
+ *                  bounds.getHeight());
+ *   g.draw(bounds);
+ * </pre>
+ * </blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * Hit-testing a <code>TextLayout</code> (determining which character is at
+ * a particular graphical location):
+ * <blockquote><pre>
+ *   Point2D click = ...;
+ *   TextHitInfo hit = layout.hitTestChar(
+ *                         (float) (click.getX() - loc.getX()),
+ *                         (float) (click.getY() - loc.getY()));
+ * </pre>
+ * </blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * Responding to a right-arrow key press:
+ * <blockquote><pre>
+ *   int insertionIndex = ...;
+ *   TextHitInfo next = layout.getNextRightHit(insertionIndex);
+ *   if (next != null) {
+ *       // translate graphics to origin of layout on screen
+ *       g.translate(loc.getX(), loc.getY());
+ *       Shape[] carets = layout.getCaretShapes(next.getInsertionIndex());
+ *       g.draw(carets[0]);
+ *       if (carets[1] != null) {
+ *           g.draw(carets[1]);
+ *       }
+ *   }
+ * </pre></blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * Drawing a selection range corresponding to a substring in the source text.
+ * The selected area may not be visually contiguous:
+ * <blockquote><pre>
+ *   // selStart, selLimit should be relative to the layout,
+ *   // not to the source text
+ *
+ *   int selStart = ..., selLimit = ...;
+ *   Color selectionColor = ...;
+ *   Shape selection = layout.getLogicalHighlightShape(selStart, selLimit);
+ *   // selection may consist of disjoint areas
+ *   // graphics is assumed to be tranlated to origin of layout
+ *   g.setColor(selectionColor);
+ *   g.fill(selection);
+ * </pre></blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * Drawing a visually contiguous selection range.  The selection range may
+ * correspond to more than one substring in the source text.  The ranges of
+ * the corresponding source text substrings can be obtained with
+ * <code>getLogicalRangesForVisualSelection()</code>:
+ * <blockquote><pre>
+ *   TextHitInfo selStart = ..., selLimit = ...;
+ *   Shape selection = layout.getVisualHighlightShape(selStart, selLimit);
+ *   g.setColor(selectionColor);
+ *   g.fill(selection);
+ *   int[] ranges = getLogicalRangesForVisualSelection(selStart, selLimit);
+ *   // ranges[0], ranges[1] is the first selection range,
+ *   // ranges[2], ranges[3] is the second selection range, etc.
+ * </pre></blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * Note: Font rotations can cause text baselines to be rotated, and
+ * multiple runs with different rotations can cause the baseline to
+ * bend or zig-zag.  In order to account for this (rare) possibility,
+ * some APIs are specified to return metrics and take parameters 'in
+ * baseline-relative coordinates' (e.g. ascent, advance), and others
+ * are in 'in standard coordinates' (e.g. getBounds).  Values in
+ * baseline-relative coordinates map the 'x' coordinate to the
+ * distance along the baseline, (positive x is forward along the
+ * baseline), and the 'y' coordinate to a distance along the
+ * perpendicular to the baseline at 'x' (positive y is 90 degrees
+ * clockwise from the baseline vector).  Values in standard
+ * coordinates are measured along the x and y axes, with 0,0 at the
+ * origin of the TextLayout.  Documentation for each relevant API
+ * indicates what values are in what coordinate system.  In general,
+ * measurement-related APIs are in baseline-relative coordinates,
+ * while display-related APIs are in standard coordinates.

+     * inclusive, represents a valid position on the line.  Additionally,
+     * [-1, trailing] and [characterCount, leading] are valid positions, and
+     * represent positions at the logical start and end of the line,
+     * respectively.
+     *
+     * The characterOffsets in TextHitInfo's used and returned by TextLayout
+     * are relative to the beginning of the text layout, not necessarily to
+     * the beginning of the text storage the client is using.
+     *
+     *
+     * Every valid TextHitInfo has either one or two carets associated with it.
+     * A caret is a visual location in the TextLayout indicating where text at
+     * the TextHitInfo will be displayed on screen.  If a TextHitInfo
+     * represents a location on a directional boundary, then there are two
+     * possible visible positions for newly inserted text.  Consider the
+     * following example, in which capital letters indicate right-to-left text,
+     * and the overall line direction is left-to-right:
+     *
+     * Text Storage: [ a, b, C, D, E, f ]
+     * Display:        a b E D C f
+     *
+     * The text hit info (1, t) represents the trailing side of 'b'.  If 'q',
+     * a left-to-right character is inserted into the text storage at this
+     * location, it will be displayed between the 'b' and the 'E':
+     *
+     * Text Storage: [ a, b, q, C, D, E, f ]
+     * Display:        a b q E D C f
+     *
+     * However, if a 'W', which is right-to-left, is inserted into the storage
+     * after 'b', the storage and display will be:
+     *
+     * Text Storage: [ a, b, W, C, D, E, f ]
+     * Display:        a b E D C W f
+     *
+     * So, for the original text storage, two carets should be displayed for
+     * location (1, t): one visually between 'b' and 'E' and one visually
+     * between 'C' and 'f'.
+     *
+     *
+     * When two carets are displayed for a TextHitInfo, one caret is the
+     * 'strong' caret and the other is the 'weak' caret.  The strong caret
+     * indicates where an inserted character will be displayed when that
+     * character's direction is the same as the direction of the TextLayout.
+     * The weak caret shows where an character inserted character will be
+     * displayed when the character's direction is opposite that of the
+     * TextLayout.
+     *
+     *
+     * Clients should not be overly concerned with the details of correct
+     * caret display. TextLayout.getCaretShapes(TextHitInfo) will return an
+     * array of two paths representing where carets should be displayed.
+     * The first path in the array is the strong caret; the second element,
+     * if non-null, is the weak caret.  If the second element is null,
+     * then there is no weak caret for the given TextHitInfo.
+     *
+     *
+     * Since text can be visually reordered, logically consecutive
+     * TextHitInfo's may not be visually consecutive.  One implication of this
+     * is that a client cannot tell from inspecting a TextHitInfo whether the
+     * hit represents the first (or last) caret in the layout.  Clients
+     * can call getVisualOtherHit();  if the visual companion is
+     * (-1, TRAILING) or (characterCount, LEADING), then the hit is at the
+     * first (last) caret position in the layout.
