Paragraph class

A paragraph of text.

A paragraph retains the size and position of each glyph in the text and can be efficiently resized and painted.

To create a Paragraph object, use a ParagraphBuilder.

Paragraphs can be displayed on a Canvas using the Canvas.drawParagraph method.

Properties

alphabeticBaseline → double: The distance from the top of the paragraph to the alphabetic baseline of the first line, in logical pixels.
read-only
didExceedMaxLines → bool: True if there is more vertical content, but the text was truncated, either because we reached maxLines lines of text or because the maxLines was null, ellipsis was not null, and one of the lines exceeded the width constraint. [...]
read-only
height → double: The amount of vertical space this paragraph occupies. [...]
read-only
ideographicBaseline → double: The distance from the top of the paragraph to the ideographic baseline of the first line, in logical pixels.
read-only
longestLine → double: The distance from the left edge of the leftmost glyph to the right edge of the rightmost glyph in the paragraph. [...]
read-only
maxIntrinsicWidth → double: Returns the smallest width beyond which increasing the width never decreases the height. [...]
read-only
minIntrinsicWidth → double: The minimum width that this paragraph could be without failing to paint its contents within itself. [...]
read-only
width → double: The amount of horizontal space this paragraph occupies. [...]
read-only
hashCode → int: The hash code for this object. [...]
read-only, inherited
runtimeType → Type: A representation of the runtime type of the object.

computeLineMetrics() → List<LineMetrics>: Returns the full list of LineMetrics that describe in detail the various metrics of each laid out line. [...]
getBoxesForPlaceholders() → List<TextBox>: Returns a list of text boxes that enclose all placeholders in the paragraph. [...]
getBoxesForRange(int start, { int end, { BoxHeightStyle boxHeightStyle: BoxHeightStyle.tight, BoxWidthStyle boxWidthStyle: BoxWidthStyle.tight }) → List<TextBox>: Returns a list of text boxes that enclose the given text range. [...]
getLineBoundary(TextPosition position) → TextRange: Returns the TextRange of the line at the given TextPosition. [...]
getPositionForOffset(Offset offset) → TextPosition: Returns the text position closest to the given offset.
getWordBoundary(TextPosition position) → TextRange: Returns the TextRange of the word at the given TextPosition. [...]
layout(ParagraphConstraints constraints) → void: Computes the size and position of each glyph in the paragraph. [...]
