OK. The said makes sense. I'm not sure about method signatures, need to think about it :). Probably there will be getStyles(); //returns all applied styles and getStyles(int mask); //returns specific styles
getStyles( MASTER | TEXTRUN) is equivalent of getStyles() We are going to add a bunch of methods to the TextRun object, probably it's better to delegate calls to a special object : TextFormat fmt = txrun.getTextFormat(); //do formatting via TextFormat Yegor NB> On Fri, 14 Jul 2006, Yegor Kozlov wrote: >>>> My worry is that your plan doesn't easily allow someone to get all the >>>> different bits of information from the first list. >> >> Do users really need this information?
