Package eu.bandm.tools.format

Class Format.Prior

java.lang.Object

eu.bandm.tools.format.Format

eu.bandm.tools.format.Format.Prior

All Implemented Interfaces:

Formattable, Serializable, Cloneable

Enclosing class:

Format

public static class Format.Prior
extends Format

This format prints the "parens" format, if it is (directly or indirectly) contained in a Prior Format with a higher priority 'level" (numerically larger priority code).
If it has the same priority, then a different value of "alternative" selects the "parens" format. So does a negative "alternative" value.
Otherwise it prints the "noparens" format. The priority of the outermost level, when initially calling Format.FormatPrinter.startPrinting(Format), is defined as 0(zero). The preparatory calculations of the format's width requirements are only heuristical and use the maximum values, because the final print context is (naturally) not known.

Field Details

level

public final int level

The paren version will be printed if this format is contained (maybe indirectly) in another Prior with higher priority.

alternative

public final int alternative

The paren version will be printed if this format is contained (maybe indirectly) in another Prior with same priority and different alternative, or if this alternative == -1.

noparens

public final Format noparens

parens

public final Format parens

Constructor Details

Prior

protected Prior(int level,
 int alternative,
 Format noparens,
 Format parens,
 int indent)

Sets all fields of the new instance.

Prior

protected Prior(int level,
 int alternative,
 Format noparens,
 Format parens)

Sets all fields of the new instance, but the indentation to Format.INDENT_NOT_SET.

Method Details

debugPrefix

public String debugPrefix(int n)

Description copied from class: Format

Overridden by subclasses to deliver a printable representation for debugging purpose.

Specified by:

debugPrefix in class Format

Parameters:

n - the maximal number of characters

doprint

protected void doprint(Format.FormatPrinter v)

Description copied from class: Format

Over-ridden by all sub-classes of Format, for performing the adquate print operations. To be printed is the raison d'être of Format objects. These methods do not use the Visitor/Matcher framework, but direct method invocation and basic method dispatch for descending to child nodes.

Specified by:

doprint in class Format

indent

public Format.Prior indent(int i)

Description copied from class: Format

Returns a clone of this with the new value of Format.indent. (The built-in "clone()" functionality cannot be used, since field "indent" is final).

Specified by:

indent in class Format
