Interface ITextUnit

All Superinterfaces:

Cloneable, IMultilingual, INameable, IReferenceable, IResource, IWithAnnotations, IWithProperties, IWithSkeleton, IWithSourceProperties, IWithTargetProperties

All Known Implementing Classes:

TextUnit

public interface ITextUnit
extends IMultilingual, IReferenceable

Interface for the basic unit of extraction from a filter and also the resource associated with the filter event TEXT_UNIT.

The TextUnit object holds the extracted source text, all its properties and annotations, and any target corresponding data.

Where adjusted sources exist, methods in this interface should have their effects on the default source, however a specific implementation may provide a method to select one of the variant sources that methods would then use. The main source should always be used before such a method is called.

Method Detail

clone

ITextUnit clone()

Clones this TextUnit.

Returns:

A new TextUnit object that is a copy of this one.

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

Indicates if the source text of this TextUnit is empty.

Returns:

true if the source text of this TextUnit is empty, false otherwise.

getSource

TextContainer getSource()

Gets the source object for this text unit (a TextContainer object).

Returns:

the source object for this text unit.

setSource

TextContainer setSource(TextContainer textContainer)

Sets the source object for this TextUnit. Any existing source object is overwritten.

Parameters:

textContainer - the source object to set.

Returns:

the source object that has been set.

getTarget

TextContainer getTarget(LocaleId locId)

Gets the target object for this text unit for a given locale. If the target does not exists a null is retruned.

Parameters:

locId - the locale to query.

Returns:

the target object for this text unit for the given locale, or null if the target does not exist.

See Also:

createTarget(LocaleId, boolean, int)

setTarget

TextContainer setTarget(LocaleId locId,
                        TextContainer text)

Sets the target object for this text unit for a given locale.

If the target does not exists, one is created. Any existing content for the given locale is overwritten. To set a target object based on the source, use the createTarget(LocaleId, boolean, int) method.

Parameters:

locId - the target locale.

text - the target content to set.

Returns:

the target content that has been set.

removeTarget

void removeTarget(LocaleId locId)

Removes a given target object from this text unit. If the given locale does not exist in this text unit nothing happens. Variant source for this target locale will not be affected.

Parameters:

locId - the target locale to remove.

hasTarget

boolean hasTarget(LocaleId locId)

Indicates if there is a target object for a given locale for this text unit.

Parameters:

locId - the locale to query.

Returns:

true if a target object exists for the given locale, false otherwise.

createTarget

TextContainer createTarget(LocaleId locId,
                           boolean overwriteExisting,
                           int creationOptions)

Creates or get the target for this TextUnit.

If a variant source exists for the target locale, creationOptions apply to the variant source.

Parameters:

locId - the target locale.

overwriteExisting - true to overwrite any existing target for the given locale. False to not create a new target object if one already exists for the given locale.

creationOptions - creation options:

• CREATE_EMPTY: Create an empty target object.
• COPY_PROPERTIES: Copy the source properties.
• COPY_CONTENT: Copy the text of the source (and any associated in-line code), but not the segmenation.
• COPY_SEGMENTATION: Copy the source segmentation.
• COPY_SEGMENTED_CONTENT: Same as (COPY_CONTENT|COPY_SEGMENTATION).

Parameters:

trgLoc - the locale of the target to retrieve.

Returns:

an object implementing ISegments for the given target content.
