LayoutEnumerator

Inheritance: java.lang.Object

public class LayoutEnumerator

Enumerates page layout entities of a document. You can use this class to walk over the page layout model. Available properties are type, geometry, text and page index where entity is rendered, as well as overall structure and relationships. Use combination of LayoutCollector.getEntity(com.aspose.words.Node) and getCurrent() / setCurrent(java.lang.Object) move to the entity which corresponds to a document node.

LayoutEnumerator(Document document)

public LayoutEnumerator(Document document)

Initializes new instance of this class.

Remarks:

If page layout model of the document hasn’t been built the enumerator calls Document.updatePageLayout() to build it.

Whenever document is updated and new page layout model is created, a new enumerator must be used to access it.

Examples:

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Document	A document whose page layout model to enumerate.

get(String key)

public Object get(String key)

Gets a named property of the entity.

Remarks:

This is currently used to get font properties of spans. See Font class for possible properties names. Not all properties are supported.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
key	java.lang.String	A name of the property (case-sensitive).

Returns: java.lang.Object - Null if property is not available, otherwise value of the property.

getCurrent()

public Object getCurrent()

Gets current position in the page layout model. This property returns an opaque object which corresponds to the current layout entity.

Examples:

Shows how to see the the ranges of pages that a node spans.

 Document doc = new Document();
 LayoutCollector layoutCollector = new LayoutCollector(doc);

 // Call the "GetNumPagesSpanned" method to count how many pages the content of our document spans.
 // Since the document is empty, that number of pages is currently zero.
 Assert.assertEquals(doc, layoutCollector.getDocument());
 Assert.assertEquals(0, layoutCollector.getNumPagesSpanned(doc));

 // Populate the document with 5 pages of content.
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
 builder.write("Section 1");
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_EVEN_PAGE);
 builder.write("Section 2");
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);

 // Before the layout collector, we need to call the "UpdatePageLayout" method to give us
 // an accurate figure for any layout-related metric, such as the page count.
 Assert.assertEquals(0, layoutCollector.getNumPagesSpanned(doc));

 layoutCollector.clear();
 doc.updatePageLayout();

 Assert.assertEquals(5, layoutCollector.getNumPagesSpanned(doc));

 // We can see the numbers of the start and end pages of any node and their overall page spans.
 NodeCollection nodes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, true);
 for (Node node : (Iterable) nodes) {
     System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("->  NodeType.{0}: ", node.getNodeType()));
     System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tStarts on page {0}, ends on page {1},", layoutCollector.getStartPageIndex(node), layoutCollector.getEndPageIndex(node)) +
             MessageFormat.format(" spanning {0} pages.", layoutCollector.getNumPagesSpanned(node)));
 }

 // We can iterate over the layout entities using a LayoutEnumerator.
 LayoutEnumerator layoutEnumerator = new LayoutEnumerator(doc);

 Assert.assertEquals(LayoutEntityType.PAGE, layoutEnumerator.getType());

 // The LayoutEnumerator can traverse the collection of layout entities like a tree.
 // We can also apply it to any node's corresponding layout entity.
 layoutEnumerator.setCurrent(layoutCollector.getEntity(doc.getChild(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, 1, true)));

 Assert.assertEquals(LayoutEntityType.SPAN, layoutEnumerator.getType());
 Assert.assertEquals("�", layoutEnumerator.getText());
 

Returns: java.lang.Object - Current position in the page layout model.

movePreviousLogical()

public boolean movePreviousLogical()

Moves to the previous sibling entity in a logical order. When iterating lines of a paragraph broken across pages this method will move to the previous line even if it resides on another page.

Note that all LayoutEntityType.SPAN entities are linked together thus if getCurrent() / setCurrent(java.lang.Object) entity is span repeated calling of this method will iterates complete story of the document.
