So you have broken the text at some character index boundary,
and find that without access to the complete text (ie without
context) TextLayout isn't doing what you want.

I think you need to either run Bidi yourself (java.text.Bidi)
on the whole string, or simpler, and better, use the API that
was designed for this case : java.awt.font.TextMeasurer, or
java.awt.font.LineBreakMeasurer. It will return a succession
of TextLayouts representing the whole paragraph.

By "end of line" I did mean the right side. I'm seeing this behavior
with Arabic embedded in English. I would expect the Arabic to appear on
the left, though, since the base direction of the entire text is
left-to-right. The way I'm splitting isn't preserving that information,
so I'll look into setting the base direction as Phil suggested.

Thanks for the help!

Isn't this behavior the correct one? Your first part is RTL, so it
is rendered at the right-hand side of the line (if this is what you
mean by the "end of the line"). Your second part is LTR so it is
rendered after it, but "after" is really "to the left of it" since
the sentence begins with the RTL part.

What RTL language are you using?

Re: [JAVA2D] disable bidi reordering in TextLayout

[java2d]

I would say that it is the expected behavior. The first "chunk" should set the 
overall orientation, and if the sentence starts with an RTL chunk, it would 
start at the right-hand side. This is how it goes in Hebrew.

Re: [JAVA2D] disable bidi reordering in TextLayout

[Phil Race]

There won't be a Graphics hint to affect bidi behaviour since
that is completely un-related to the graphics.
A text layout only needs a graphics instance so it knows
where to send the already laid out text.

Perhaps what you want it to explicitly specify
java.awt.font.TextAttribute.RUN_DIRECTION_LTR as the value
for the attribute java.awt.font.TextAttribute.RUN_DIRECTION
to your text layout constructor.
This will over-ride the standard bidi behaviour.
(see java.text.Bidi)

that has runsRL,  the R run is rendered at the end of the line.

I have a pretty tricked out Swing text view that breaks up lines in
strange ways. I'd like to disable reordering altogether. Is there a
graphics hint to do this? I'm also wondering if I'm totally off in
thinking the TextLine is doing any reordering ... ?

Displaying right-to-left text is not important to me. Since I'm not
playing right with Swing's bidi root stuff, I need to be able to hack
the text layout into shape.


Thanks!
