* Refactor Styled utility functions into reusable objects.Doug Felt2010-04-072-0/+1998
This takes utility functions from Styled and a few other classes and incorporates them into two new utility classes, TextLine and MeasuredText. The main point of this is to support shaping by skia, to experiment with how this will look, this also introduces character-based Arabic shaping. MeasuredText is used by code that determines line breaks by generating and examining character widths in logical order. Factoring the code in this way makes it usable by the ellipsize functions in TextUtils as well as by StaticLayout. This class takes over the caching of widths and chars arrays that was previously performed by StyledText. A small number of MeasuredText objects are themselves cached by the class and accesed using static obtain and recycle methods. Generally only these few cached instances are ever created. TextLine is used by code that draws or measures text on a line. This unifies the line measuring and rendering code, and pushes assumptions about how rtl text is treated closer to the points where skia code is invoked. TextLine implements the functions that were previously provided by Styled, working on member arrays rather than explicitly-passed arguments. It implements the same kind of static cache as MeasuredText. TextLine and MeasureText simulate arabic glyph generation and shaping by using ArabicShaping, ported with very minor changes from ICU4J's ArabicShaping. This class generates shaped Arabic glyphs and Lam-Alef ligatures using Unicode presentation forms. ArabicShaping is not intended to be permanent, but to be replaced by real shaping from the skia layer. It is introduced in order to emulate the behavior of real shaping so that higher level code dealing with rendering shaped text and cursor movement over ligatures can be developed and tested; it also provides basic-level support for Arabic. Since cursor movement depends on conjuncts whose formation is font-dependent, cursor movement code that was formerly in Layout and StaticLayout was moved into TextLine so that it can work on the shaped text. Other than these changes, the other major change is a rework of the ellipsize utility functions to combine multiple branches into fewer branches with additional state.
