Constructor Detail

StyledEditorKit

public StyledEditorKit()
Method Detail

getInputAttributes

public MutableAttributeSet getInputAttributes()
Gets the input attributes for the pane. When the caret moves and there is no selection, the input attributes are automatically mutated to reflect the character attributes of the current caret location. The styled editing actions use the input attributes to carry out their actions.
Returns:
the attribute set

getCharacterAttributeRun

public Element getCharacterAttributeRun()
Fetches the element representing the current run of character attributes for the caret.
Returns:
the element

clone

public Object clone()
Create a copy of the editor kit. This allows an implementation to serve as a prototype for others, so that they can be quickly created.
Returns:
the copy
Overrides:
clone in class DefaultEditorKit

getActions

public Action[] getActions()
Fetches the command list for the editor. This is the list of commands supported by the superclass augmented by the collection of commands defined locally for style operations.
Returns:
the command list
Overrides:
getActions in class DefaultEditorKit

createDefaultDocument

public Document createDefaultDocument()
Creates an uninitialized text storage model that is appropriate for this type of editor.
Returns:
the model
Overrides:
createDefaultDocument in class DefaultEditorKit

install

public void install(JEditorPane c)
Called when the kit is being installed into a JEditorPane.
Parameters:
c - the JEditorPane
Overrides:
install in class EditorKit

deinstall

public void deinstall(JEditorPane c)
Called when the kit is being removed from the JEditorPane. This is used to unregister any listeners that were attached.
Parameters:
c - the JEditorPane
Overrides:
deinstall in class EditorKit

getViewFactory

public ViewFactory getViewFactory()
Fetches a factory that is suitable for producing views of any models that are produced by this kit. This is implemented to return View implementations for the following kinds of elements:
Returns:
the factory
Overrides:
getViewFactory in class DefaultEditorKit

createInputAttributes

protected void createInputAttributes(Element element,
                                     MutableAttributeSet set)
Copies the key/values in elements AttributeSet into set. This does not copy component, icon, or element names attributes. Subclasses may wish to refine what is and what isn't copied here. But be sure to first remove all the attributes that are in set.

This is called anytime the caret moves over a different location.
