Methods

Greedy()

Word-wrap a paragraph using simple truncation. Assume no \n Removes all \r All white spaces are squased to a single space the last element of the array

• Signature: protected function Greedy($paragraph,$text_lines)

Parameters:

• $paragraph
• array $text_lines
  the array to store the text lines. It starts appending on

Knuth()

• Signature: protected function Knuth($paragraph,$text_lines)

Parameters:

• $paragraph
• &$text_lines

Truncate()

Word-wrap a paragraph using simple truncation. Assume no \n Removes all \r All white spaces are squased to a single space

• Signature: protected function Truncate($paragraph,$text_lines)

Parameters:

• string $paragraph
  the paragraph to encode
• array $text_lines
  the array to store the text lines

__construct()

Construct a text cell object @param I2CE_Encoding encoding -- the encoding we want to use

• Signature: public function __construct($font_metric,$hyphen,$encoding,$algorithm)

Parameters:

• I2CE_FontMetric $font_metric
• I2CE_Hyphen $hyphen
  default is null
  • Default Value: null
• &$encoding
• int $algorithm
  the word wrapping algorithm: default = 'Greedy'
  • Default Value: 'Greedy'

getEncoding()

• Signature: public function getEncoding($encoding)

Parameters:

• $encoding

getFontMetric()

Get the font metrics to be used in calculating word-wrapping

• Signature: public &function getFontMetric()
• Returns (By Reference): I2ce_FontMetric $font_metric if null we are word-wrapping on characters

getHyphenDictionary()

Get the hyphenation dictionary to use

• Signature: public function getHyphenDictionary()
• Returns: I2CE_Hyphen $hyphen The hyphenation dictionary

getLineBreaks()

Function to get the line breaks in a paragraph for the text to fit in the current collumn

@param string $paragraph The text we want to fit in the text column

• Signature: public function getLineBreaks($text)
• Returns: array eof strings -- the rows of text

Parameters:

• $text

getParagraphs()

Function to split up a text based on newlines, or the characters corresponding to unicode codepoints:

• 0x2080 -- Line separator
0x2029 -- Paragraph separatory

Note: This works quickest if $text is ASCII friendly, then UTF-8, then in an arbitrary encoding

• Signature: public function getParagraphs($text)
• Returns: array of (possibly multibyte) strings the paragraphs

Parameters:

• $text

getWidth()

Gets the column's width @param int/float $width

• Signature: public function getWidth()

getWords()

• Signature: public function getWords($paragraph)

Parameters:

• $paragraph

setEncoding()

• Signature: public function setEncoding($encoding)

Parameters:

• $encoding

setFontMetric()

Set the font metrics to be used in calculating word-wrapping

• Signature: public function setFontMetric($font_metric)

Parameters:

• I2CE_FontMetric $font_metric
  if null we are word-wrapping on characters

setHyphenationDictionary()

Set the hyphenation dictionary to use If null, no hyphenation is used

• Signature: public function setHyphenationDictionary($hyphen)

Parameters:

• I2CE_Hyphen $hyphen
  The hyphenation dictionary

setWidth()

Set the column's width

• Signature: public function setWidth($width)
• Returns: numeric $width

Parameters:

• $width

setWordWrapAlgorithm()

Set the algorithm to use for word wrapping

Values are:

• 'Truncate'
• 'Greedy'
• 'Knuth'
• Signature: public function setWordWrapAlgorithm($algorithm)
Parameters:
• int $algorithm
