## javax.swing.text
Class DefaultStyledDocument

    java.lang.Object
      javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument
          javax.swing.text.DefaultStyledDocument

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Document, StyledDocument

Direct Known Subclasses:
  HTMLDocument

    public class DefaultStyledDocument

extends AbstractDocument
implements StyledDocument

A document that can be marked up with character and paragraph styles in a manner similar to the Rich Text Format. The element structure for this document represents style crossings for style runs. These style runs are mapped into a paragraph element structure (which may reside in some other structure). The style runs break at paragraph boundaries since logical styles are assigned to paragraph boundaries.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

Field Detail

### BUFFER_SIZE_DEFAULT

    public static final int BUFFER_SIZE_DEFAULT

  The default size of the initial content buffer.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### buffer

    protected DefaultStyledDocument.ElementBuffer buffer

Constructor Detail

### DefaultStyledDocument

    public DefaultStyledDocument(AbstractDocument.Content c,
                                 StyleContext styles)

  Constructs a styled document.

  Parameters:
    `c` - the container for the content
    `styles` - resources and style definitions which may be shared across documents

### DefaultStyledDocument

    public DefaultStyledDocument(StyleContext styles)

  Constructs a styled document with the default content storage implementation and a shared set of styles.

  Parameters:
    `styles` - the styles

### DefaultStyledDocument

    public DefaultStyledDocument()

  Constructs a default styled document. This buffers input content by a size of BUFFER_SIZE_DEFAULT and has a style context that is scoped by the lifetime of the document and is not shared with other documents.

Method Detail

### getDefaultRootElement

    public Element getDefaultRootElement()

  Gets the default root element.

  Specified by:
    `getDefaultRootElement` in interface `Document`
  Specified by:
    `getDefaultRootElement` in class `AbstractDocument`
  Returns:
    the root
  See Also:
    `Document.getDefaultRootElement()`

### create

    protected void create(DefaultStyledDocument.ElementSpec[] data)

  Initialize the document to reflect the given element structure (i.e. the structure reported by the `getDefaultRootElement` method. If the document contained any data it will first be removed.

### insert

    protected void insert(int offset,
                          DefaultStyledDocument.ElementSpec[] data)
                   throws BadLocationException

  Inserts new elements in bulk. This is useful to allow parsing with the document in an unlocked state and prepare an element structure modification. This method takes an array of tokens that describe how to update an element structure so the time within a write lock can be greatly reduced in an asynchronous update situation.

  This method is thread safe, although most Swing methods are not. Please see Threads and Swing for more information.

  Parameters:
    `offset` - the starting offset >= 0
    `data` - the element data
  Throws:
    `BadLocationException` - for an invalid starting offset

### addStyle

    public Style addStyle(String nm,
                          Style parent)

  Adds a new style into the logical style hierarchy. Style attributes resolve from bottom up so an attribute specified in a child will override an attribute specified in the parent.

  Specified by:
    `addStyle` in interface `StyledDocument`
  Parameters:
    `nm` - the name of the style (must be unique within the collection of named styles). The name may be null if the style is unnamed, but the caller is responsible for managing the reference returned as an unnamed style can't be fetched by name. An unnamed style may be useful for things like character attribute overrides such as found in a style run.
    `parent` - the parent style. This may be null if unspecified attributes need not be resolved in some other style.
  Returns:
    the style

### removeStyle

    public void removeStyle(String nm)

  Removes a named style previously added to the document.

  Specified by:
    `removeStyle` in interface `StyledDocument`
  Parameters:
    `nm` - the name of the style to remove

### getStyle

    public Style getStyle(String nm)

  Fetches a named style previously added.

  Specified by:
    `getStyle` in interface `StyledDocument`
  Parameters:
    `nm` - the name of the style
  Returns:
    the style

### getStyleNames

    public Enumeration<?> getStyleNames()

  Fetches the list of of style names.

  Returns:
    all the style names

### setLogicalStyle

    public void setLogicalStyle(int pos,
                                Style s)

  Sets the logical style to use for the paragraph at the given position. If attributes aren't explicitly set for character and paragraph attributes they will resolve through the logical style assigned to the paragraph, which in turn may resolve through some hierarchy completely independent of the element hierarchy in the document.

  This method is thread safe, although most Swing methods are not. Please see Threads and Swing for more information.

  Specified by:
    `setLogicalStyle` in interface `StyledDocument`
  Parameters:
    `pos` - the offset from the start of the document >= 0
    `s` - the logical style to assign to the paragraph, null if none

### getLogicalStyle

    public Style getLogicalStyle(int p)

  Fetches the logical style assigned to the paragraph represented by the given position.

  Specified by:
    `getLogicalStyle` in interface `StyledDocument`
  Parameters:
    `p` - the location to translate to a paragraph and determine the logical style assigned >= 0. This is an offset from the start of the document.
  Returns:
    the style, null if none

### setCharacterAttributes

    public void setCharacterAttributes(int offset,
                                       int length,
                                       AttributeSet s,
                                       boolean replace)

  Sets attributes for some part of the document. A write lock is held by this operation while changes are being made, and a DocumentEvent is sent to the listeners after the change has been successfully completed.

  This method is thread safe, although most Swing methods are not. Please see Threads and Swing for more information.

  Specified by:
    `setCharacterAttributes` in interface `StyledDocument`
  Parameters:
    `offset` - the offset in the document >= 0
    `length` - the length >= 0
    `s` - the attributes
    `replace` - true if the previous attributes should be replaced before setting the new attributes

### setParagraphAttributes

    public void setParagraphAttributes(int offset,
                                       int length,
                                       AttributeSet s,
                                       boolean replace)

  Sets attributes for a paragraph.

  This method is thread safe, although most Swing methods are not. Please see Threads and Swing for more information.

  Specified by:
    `setParagraphAttributes` in interface `StyledDocument`
  Parameters:
    `offset` - the offset into the paragraph >= 0
    `length` - the number of characters affected >= 0
    `s` - the attributes

  Specified by:
    `getParagraphElement` in interface `StyledDocument`
  Specified by:
    `getParagraphElement` in class `AbstractDocument`
  Parameters:
    `pos` - the starting offset >= 0
  Returns:
    the element

  Gets a character element based on a position.

  Specified by:
    `getCharacterElement` in interface `StyledDocument`
  Parameters:
    `pos` - the position in the document >= 0
  Returns:
    the element

                                AttributeSet attr)

  Updates document structure as a result of text insertion. This will happen within a write lock. This implementation simply parses the inserted content for line breaks and builds up a set of instructions for the element buffer.

  Parameters:
    `chng` - a description of the document change
    `attr` - the attributes
