NumericShaper

public final class NumericShaper
extends Object implements Serializable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.awt.font.NumericShaper


The NumericShaper class is used to convert Latin-1 (European) digits to other Unicode decimal digits. Users of this class will primarily be people who wish to present data using national digit shapes, but find it more convenient to represent the data internally using Latin-1 (European) digits. This does not interpret the deprecated numeric shape selector character (U+206E).

Instances of NumericShaper are typically applied as attributes to text with the NUMERIC_SHAPING attribute of the TextAttribute class. For example, this code snippet causes a TextLayout to shape European digits to Arabic in an Arabic context:

 Map map = new HashMap();
 map.put(TextAttribute.NUMERIC_SHAPING,
     NumericShaper.getContextualShaper(NumericShaper.ARABIC));
 FontRenderContext frc = ...;
 TextLayout layout = new TextLayout(text, map, frc);
 layout.draw(g2d, x, y);
 

It is also possible to perform numeric shaping explicitly using instances of NumericShaper, as this code snippet demonstrates:
 char[] text = ...;
 // shape all EUROPEAN digits (except zero) to ARABIC digits
 NumericShaper shaper = NumericShaper.getShaper(NumericShaper.ARABIC);
 shaper.shape(text, start, count);

 // shape European digits to ARABIC digits if preceding text is Arabic, or
 // shape European digits to TAMIL digits if preceding text is Tamil, or
 // leave European digits alone if there is no preceding text, or
 // preceding text is neither Arabic nor Tamil
 NumericShaper shaper =
     NumericShaper.getContextualShaper(NumericShaper.ARABIC |
                                         NumericShaper.TAMIL,
                                       NumericShaper.EUROPEAN);
 shaper.shape(text, start, count);
 

Bit mask- and enum-based Unicode ranges

This class supports two different programming interfaces to represent Unicode ranges for script-specific digits: bit mask-based ones, such as NumericShaper.ARABIC, and enum-based ones, such as NumericShaper.Range#ARABIC. Multiple ranges can be specified by ORing bit mask-based constants, such as:

 NumericShaper.ARABIC | NumericShaper.TAMIL
 
or creating a Set with the NumericShaper.Range constants, such as:
 EnumSet.of(NumericShaper.Scirpt.ARABIC, NumericShaper.Range.TAMIL)
 
The enum-based ranges are a super set of the bit mask-based ones.

If the two interfaces are mixed (including serialization), Unicode range values are mapped to their counterparts where such mapping is possible, such as NumericShaper.Range.ARABIC from/to NumericShaper.ARABIC. If any unmappable range values are specified, such as NumericShaper.Range.BALINESE, those ranges are ignored.

Decimal Digits Precedence

A Unicode range may have more than one set of decimal digits. If multiple decimal digits sets are specified for the same Unicode range, one of the sets will take precedence as follows.

Unicode Range NumericShaper Constants Precedence
Arabic NumericShaper.ARABIC
NumericShaper.EASTERN_ARABIC
NumericShaper.EASTERN_ARABIC
NumericShaper.Range#ARABIC
NumericShaper.Range#EASTERN_ARABIC
NumericShaper.Range#EASTERN_ARABIC
Tai Tham NumericShaper.Range#TAI_THAM_HORA
NumericShaper.Range#TAI_THAM_THAM
NumericShaper.Range#TAI_THAM_THAM

Added in API level 1
public boolean equals (Object o)

Returns true if the specified object is an instance of NumericShaper and shapes identically to this one, regardless of the range representations, the bit mask or the enum. For example, the following code produces "true".

 NumericShaper ns1 = NumericShaper.getShaper(NumericShaper.ARABIC);
 NumericShaper ns2 = NumericShaper.getShaper(NumericShaper.Range.ARABIC);
 System.out.println(ns1.equals(ns2));
 

Parameters
o Object: the specified object to compare to this NumericShaper

Returns
boolean true if o is an instance of NumericShaper and shapes in the same way; false otherwise.

getContextualShaper

Added in API level 24
public static NumericShaper getContextualShaper (Set<NumericShaper.Range> ranges)

Returns a contextual shaper for the provided Unicode range(s). The Latin-1 (EUROPEAN) digits are converted to the decimal digits corresponding to the range of the preceding text, if the range is one of the provided ranges.

The shaper assumes EUROPEAN as the starting context, that is, if EUROPEAN digits are encountered before any strong directional text in the string, the context is presumed to be EUROPEAN, and so the digits will not shape.

Parameters
ranges Set: the specified Unicode ranges

Returns
NumericShaper a contextual shaper for the specified ranges

Throws
NullPointerException if ranges is null.

getContextualShaper

Added in API level 1
public static NumericShaper getContextualShaper (int ranges, 
                int defaultContext)

Returns a contextual shaper for the provided unicode range(s). Latin-1 (EUROPEAN) digits will be converted to the decimal digits corresponding to the range of the preceding text, if the range is one of the provided ranges. Multiple ranges are represented by or-ing the values together, for example, NumericShaper.ARABIC | NumericShaper.THAI. The shaper uses defaultContext as the starting context.

Parameters
ranges int: the specified Unicode ranges

defaultContext int: the starting context, such as NumericShaper.EUROPEAN

Returns
NumericShaper a shaper for the specified Unicode ranges.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the specified defaultContext is not a single valid range.

getContextualShaper

Added in API level 24
public static NumericShaper getContextualShaper (Set<NumericShaper.Range> ranges, 
                NumericShaper.Range defaultContext)

Returns a contextual shaper for the provided Unicode range(s). The Latin-1 (EUROPEAN) digits will be converted to the decimal digits corresponding to the range of the preceding text, if the range is one of the provided ranges. The shaper uses defaultContext as the starting context.

Parameters
ranges Set: the specified Unicode ranges

defaultContext NumericShaper.Range: the starting context, such as NumericShaper.Range.EUROPEAN

Returns
NumericShaper a contextual shaper for the specified Unicode ranges.

Throws
NullPointerException if ranges or defaultContext is null

getContextualShaper

Added in API level 1
public static NumericShaper getContextualShaper (int ranges)

Returns a contextual shaper for the provided unicode range(s). Latin-1 (EUROPEAN) digits are converted to the decimal digits corresponding to the range of the preceding text, if the range is one of the provided ranges. Multiple ranges are represented by or-ing the values together, such as, NumericShaper.ARABIC | NumericShaper.THAI. The shaper assumes EUROPEAN as the starting context, that is, if EUROPEAN digits are encountered before any strong directional text in the string, the context is presumed to be EUROPEAN, and so the digits will not shape.

Parameters
ranges int: the specified Unicode ranges

Returns
NumericShaper a shaper for the specified ranges

getRangeSet

Added in API level 24
public Set<NumericShaper.Range> getRangeSet ()

Returns a Set representing all the Unicode ranges in this NumericShaper that will be shaped.

Returns
Set<NumericShaper.Range> all the Unicode ranges to be shaped.

getRanges

Added in API level 1
public int getRanges ()

Returns an int that ORs together the values for all the ranges that will be shaped.

For example, to check if a shaper shapes to Arabic, you would use the following:

if ((shaper.getRanges() & shaper.ARABIC) != 0) &#123; ...

Note that this method supports only the bit mask-based ranges. Call getRangeSet() for the enum-based ranges.

Returns
int the values for all the ranges to be shaped.

getShaper

Parameters
singleRange int: the specified Unicode range

Returns
NumericShaper a non-contextual numeric shaper

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the range is not a single range

getShaper

Added in API level 24
public static NumericShaper getShaper (NumericShaper.Range singleRange)

Returns a shaper for the provided Unicode range. All Latin-1 (EUROPEAN) digits are converted to the corresponding decimal digits of the specified Unicode range.

Parameters
