Class Hyphenation

java.lang.Object
    extended by com.aspose.words.Hyphenation

public abstract class Hyphenation 
extends java.lang.Object

Provides methods for working with hyphenation dictionaries. These dictionaries prescribe where words of a specific language can be hyphenated.

Example:

Shows how to open and register a dictionary from a file.
public void registerDictionary() throws Exception {
    // Set up a callback that tracks warnings that occur during hyphenation dictionary registration
    WarningInfoCollection warningInfoCollection = new WarningInfoCollection();
    Hyphenation.setWarningCallback(warningInfoCollection);

    // Register an English (US) hyphenation dictionary by stream
    FileInputStream dictionaryStream = new FileInputStream(getMyDir() + "hyph_en_US.dic");
    Hyphenation.registerDictionary("en-US", dictionaryStream);

    // No warnings detected
    Assert.assertEquals(warningInfoCollection.getCount(), 0);

    // Open a document with a German locale that might not get automatically hyphenated by Microsoft Word an english machine
    Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "RandomGermanWords.doc");

    // To hyphenate that document upon saving, we need a hyphenation dictionary for the "de-CH" language code
    // This callback will handle the automatic request for that dictionary
    Hyphenation.setCallback(new CustomHyphenationDictionaryRegister());

    // When we save the document, it will be hyphenated according to rules defined by the dictionary known by our callback
    doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Hyphenation.RegisterDictionary.pdf");

    // This dictionary contains two identical patterns, which will trigger a warning
    Assert.assertEquals(warningInfoCollection.getCount(), 1);
    Assert.assertEquals(warningInfoCollection.get(0).getWarningType(), WarningType.MINOR_FORMATTING_LOSS);
    Assert.assertEquals(warningInfoCollection.get(0).getSource(), WarningSource.LAYOUT);
    Assert.assertEquals(warningInfoCollection.get(0).getDescription(), "Hyphenation dictionary contains duplicate patterns. " +
            "The only first found pattern will be used. Content can be wrapped differently.");

Property Getters/Setters Summary
static IHyphenationCallbackgetCallback()
static voidsetCallback(IHyphenationCallback value)
           Gets or sets callback interface used to request dictionaries when page layout of the document is built. This allows delay loading of dictionaries which may be usefull when processing documents in many languages.
static IWarningCallbackgetWarningCallback()
static voidsetWarningCallback(IWarningCallback value)
           Called during a load hyphenation patterns, when an issue is detected that might result in formatting fidelity loss.
 
Method Summary
static booleanisDictionaryRegistered(java.lang.String language)
           Returns False if for the specified language there is no dictionary registered or if registered is Null dictionary, True otherwise.
static voidregisterDictionary(java.lang.String language, java.lang.String fileName)
           Registers and loads a hyphenation dictionary for the specified language from file. Throws if dictionary cannot be read or has invalid format.

This method can also be used to register Null dictionary to prevent Callback from being called repeatedly for the same language.

static voidunregisterDictionary(java.lang.String language)
           Unregisters a hyphenation dictionary for the specified language.

This is different from registering Null dictionary. Unregistering a dictionary enables callback for the specified language.

Method Detail

isDictionaryRegistered

public static boolean isDictionaryRegistered(java.lang.String language)
Returns False if for the specified language there is no dictionary registered or if registered is Null dictionary, True otherwise.

Example:

Shows how to open check if some dictionary is registered.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.doc");
Hyphenation.registerDictionary("en-US", getMyDir() + "hyph_en_US.dic");

Assert.assertTrue(Hyphenation.isDictionaryRegistered("en-US"));

registerDictionary

public static void registerDictionary(java.lang.String language, java.lang.String fileName)
                                   throws java.lang.Exception
Registers and loads a hyphenation dictionary for the specified language from file. Throws if dictionary cannot be read or has invalid format.

This method can also be used to register Null dictionary to prevent Callback from being called repeatedly for the same language.

Parameters:
language - A language name, e.g. "en-US". See .NET documentation for "culture name" and RFC 4646 for details.
fileName - A path to the dictionary file in Open Office format.

If this parameter is null or empty string then registered is Null dictionary and callback is not called anymore for this language.

To enable callback again use unregisterDictionary(java.lang.String) method.

Example:

Shows how to open and register a dictionary from a file.
public void registerDictionary() throws Exception {
    // Set up a callback that tracks warnings that occur during hyphenation dictionary registration
    WarningInfoCollection warningInfoCollection = new WarningInfoCollection();
    Hyphenation.setWarningCallback(warningInfoCollection);

    // Register an English (US) hyphenation dictionary by stream
    FileInputStream dictionaryStream = new FileInputStream(getMyDir() + "hyph_en_US.dic");
    Hyphenation.registerDictionary("en-US", dictionaryStream);

    // No warnings detected
    Assert.assertEquals(warningInfoCollection.getCount(), 0);

    // Open a document with a German locale that might not get automatically hyphenated by Microsoft Word an english machine
    Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "RandomGermanWords.doc");

    // To hyphenate that document upon saving, we need a hyphenation dictionary for the "de-CH" language code
    // This callback will handle the automatic request for that dictionary
    Hyphenation.setCallback(new CustomHyphenationDictionaryRegister());

    // When we save the document, it will be hyphenated according to rules defined by the dictionary known by our callback
    doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Hyphenation.RegisterDictionary.pdf");

    // This dictionary contains two identical patterns, which will trigger a warning
    Assert.assertEquals(warningInfoCollection.getCount(), 1);
    Assert.assertEquals(warningInfoCollection.get(0).getWarningType(), WarningType.MINOR_FORMATTING_LOSS);
    Assert.assertEquals(warningInfoCollection.get(0).getSource(), WarningSource.LAYOUT);
    Assert.assertEquals(warningInfoCollection.get(0).getDescription(), "Hyphenation dictionary contains duplicate patterns. " +
            "The only first found pattern will be used. Content can be wrapped differently.");

unregisterDictionary

public static void unregisterDictionary(java.lang.String language)
Unregisters a hyphenation dictionary for the specified language.

This is different from registering Null dictionary. Unregistering a dictionary enables callback for the specified language.

Parameters:
language - A language name, e.g. "en-US". See .NET documentation for "culture name" and RFC 4646 for details.

If null or empty string then all dictionaries are unregistered.

Example:

Shows how to un-register a dictionary
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.doc");
Hyphenation.registerDictionary("en-US", getMyDir() + "hyph_en_US.dic");

Hyphenation.unregisterDictionary("en-US");

Assert.assertFalse(Hyphenation.isDictionaryRegistered("en-US"));
