Summary: Add getter methods to TextPosition
Key: PDFBOX-3576
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3576
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.0.3
Reporter: Kurt Devlin
I've inherited code in my department that created a local copy of TextPosition
and broke it's immutability. I'm trying to refactor this code and use the core
Apache implementation and I understand the need for TextPosition, but can
getters be added to provide read-only access to the class's fields?
We have custom code that does comparison of endX/endY values to determine if
there are overlapping characters and other features. In our application, we
also have a swap feature where we need to create/clone new TextPosition
instances with minor differences between an existing TextPosition instance.
Since there are a lot of fields that are required by the constructor of the new
instances, but can't be read from an existing instance, we need a way to access
these fields.
There probably should also be an override for equals() and hashCode().
