Method Detail

setPositionHint

public void setPositionHint(int position)

Give the Label a hint on where to draw itself. NOTE: This should be thought of as a hint only, not all labels will support all positions

getTextPaint

public java.awt.Paint getTextPaint()

Get the paint used to paint this nodes text.

Returns:

Paint

setTextPaint

public void setTextPaint(java.awt.Paint textPaint)

Set the paint used to paint this nodes text.

Parameters:

textPaint -

getGreekThreshold

public double getGreekThreshold()

Returns the current greek threshold. When the screen font size will be below this threshold the text is rendered as 'greek' instead of drawing the text glyphs.

setGreekThreshold

public void setGreekThreshold(double threshold)

Sets the current greek threshold. When the screen font size will be below this threshold the text is rendered as 'greek' instead of drawing the text glyphs.

getText

public java.lang.String getText()

setText

public void setText(java.lang.String aText)

Set the text for this node. The text will be broken up into multiple lines based on the size of the text and the bounds width of this node.

getFont

public java.awt.Font getFont()

Returns the font of this PText.

Returns:

the font of this PText.

setFont

public void setFont(java.awt.Font aFont)

Set the font of this PText. Note that in Piccolo if you want to change the size of a text object it's often a better idea to scale the PText node instead of changing the font size to get that same effect. Using very large font sizes can slow performance.
