Note that the * implementations of these methods are inefficient, they are usually * overridden with more efficient toolkit-specific implementations. *
* Note to subclassers: Since many of these methods form closed * mutually recursive loops, you must take care that you implement * at least one of the methods in each such loop in order to prevent * infinite recursion when your subclass is used. * In particular, the following is the minimal suggested set of methods * to override in order to ensure correctness and prevent infinite * recursion (though other subsets are equally feasible): *
*
* When an application asks AWT to place a character at the position
* (x, y), the character is placed so that its
* reference point (shown as the dot in the accompanying image) is
* put at that position. The reference point specifies a horizontal
* line called the baseline of the character. In normal
* printing, the baselines of characters should align.
*
* In addition, every character in a font has an ascent, a * descent, and an advance width. The ascent is the * amount by which the character ascends above the baseline. The * descent is the amount by which the character descends below the * baseline. The advance width indicates the position at which AWT * should place the next character. *
* If the current character is placed with its reference point
* at the position (x, y), and
* the character's advance width is w, then the following
* character is placed with its reference point at the position
* (x +
w, y).
* The advance width is often the same as the width of character's
* bounding box, but need not be so. In particular, oblique and
* italic fonts often have characters whose top-right corner extends
* slightly beyond the advance width.
*
* An array of characters or a string can also have an ascent, a
* descent, and an advance width. The ascent of the array is the
* maximum ascent of any character in the array. The descent is the
* maximum descent of any character in the array. The advance width
* is the sum of the advance widths of each of the characters in the
* array.
