JavaFX 24 · javafx.scene.text.TextFlow · APIdia, the JavaDoc alternative

A specialized layout for rich text. It can be used to lay out several Text nodes in a single text flow. TextFlow uses the text and the font of each Text node inside of it, plus its own width and text alignment to determine the location for each child. A single Text node can span over several lines due to wrapping, and the visual location of the Text node can differ from the logical location due to bidi reordering.

Any Node other than Text will be treated as an embedded object in the text layout. It will be inserted in the content using its preferred width, height, and baseline offset.

When a Text node is inside a TextFlow, some of its properties are ignored. For example, the x and y properties of the Text node are ignored since the location of the node is determined by the parent. Likewise, the wrapping width in the Text node is ignored since the width used for wrapping is the TextFlow's width. The value of the pickOnBounds property of a Text node is set to false when it is laid out by the TextFlow. This happens because the content of a single Text node can be split and placed in different locations in the TextFlow (usually due to line breaking and bidi reordering).

The wrapping width of the layout is determined by the region's current width. It can be specified by the application by setting the TextFlow's preferred width. If no wrapping is desired, the application can either set the preferred with to Double.MAX_VALUE or Region.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE.

Paragraphs are separated by '\n' present in any Text child.

Example of a TextFlow:

Text text1 = new Text("Big italic red text");
    text1.setFill(Color.RED);
    text1.setFont(Font.font("Helvetica", FontPosture.ITALIC, 40));
    Text text2 = new Text(" little bold blue text");
    text2.setFill(Color.BLUE);
    text2.setFont(Font.font("Helvetica", FontWeight.BOLD, 10));
    TextFlow textFlow = new TextFlow(text1, text2);

TextFlow lays out each managed child regardless of the child's visible property value; unmanaged children are ignored for all layout calculations.

TextFlow may be styled with backgrounds and borders using CSS. See its Region superclass for details.

Resizable Range

A TextFlow's parent will resize the TextFlow within the TextFlow's range during layout. By default, the TextFlow computes this range based on its content as outlined in the tables below.

TextFlow Resize Table
	width	height
minimum	left/right insets	top/bottom insets plus the height of the text content
preferred	left/right insets plus the width of the text content	top/bottom insets plus the height of the text content
maximum	`Double.MAX_VALUE`	`Double.MAX_VALUE`

A TextFlow's unbounded maximum width and height are an indication to the parent that it may be resized beyond its preferred size to fill whatever space is assigned to it.

TextFlow provides properties for setting the size range directly. These properties default to the sentinel value Region.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE, however the application may set them to other values as needed:


    textflow.setMaxWidth(500);

Applications may restore the computed values by setting these properties back to Region.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE.

TextFlow does not clip its content by default, so it is possible that children's bounds may extend outside of its own bounds if a child's preferred size is larger than the space the TextFlow has to allocate for it.

boundedSize	back to summary
pack-priv static double boundedSize(double min, double pref, double max) Hides javafx.scene.layout.Region.boundedSize. Doc from javafx.scene.layout.Region.boundedSize. Computes the value based on the given min and max values. We encode in this method the logic surrounding various edge cases, such as when the min is specified as greater than the max, or the max less than the min, or a pref value that exceeds either the max or min in their extremes. If the min is greater than the max, then we want to make sure the returned value is the min. In other words, in such a case, the min becomes the only acceptable return value. If the min and max values are well ordered, and the pref is less than the min then the min is returned. Likewise, if the values are well ordered and the pref is greater than the max, then the max is returned. If the pref lies between the min and the max, then the pref is returned. Parameters min:double The minimum bound pref:double The value to be clamped between the min and max max:double the maximum bound Returns:double the size bounded by min, pref, and max.
