Field Detail

### directionalTextHelper

    final DirectionalTextHelper directionalTextHelper

  The widget's DirectionalTextHelper object.

Constructor Detail

### LabelBase

    protected LabelBase(boolean inline)

### LabelBase

    protected LabelBase(Element element)

Method Detail

### getAutoHorizontalAlignment

    public HasHorizontalAlignment.AutoHorizontalAlignmentConstant getAutoHorizontalAlignment()

  Description copied from interface: `HasAutoHorizontalAlignment`
  Gets the horizontal auto-alignment setting. This may be one of the auto-alignment values above that depend on content direction (e.g. `HasAutoHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_CONTENT_START`), or one of the "static" `HasHorizontalAlignment.HorizontalAlignmentConstant` alignment values (e.g. `HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_LOCALE_START`). It may be set by either `setAutoHorizontalAlignment` or `HasHorizontalAlignment#setHorizontalAlignment`. The default is null, indicating that no specific horizontal alignment has been set, allowing it to be determined by the usual HTML and CSS mechanisms.

  Specified by:
    `getAutoHorizontalAlignment` in interface `HasAutoHorizontalAlignment`
  Returns:
    the current automatic horizontal alignment policy.

### getDirectionEstimator

    public DirectionEstimator getDirectionEstimator()

  Description copied from interface: `HasDirectionEstimator`
  Returns the `DirectionEstimator` object.

  Specified by:
    `getDirectionEstimator` in interface `HasDirectionEstimator`

### getHorizontalAlignment

    public HasHorizontalAlignment.HorizontalAlignmentConstant getHorizontalAlignment()

  Description copied from interface: `HasHorizontalAlignment`
  Gets the horizontal alignment.

  Specified by:
    `getHorizontalAlignment` in interface `HasHorizontalAlignment`
  Returns:
    the current horizontal alignment ( `HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_LEFT`, `HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_CENTER`, `HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_RIGHT`, `HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_JUSTIFY`, or null).

### getWordWrap

    public boolean getWordWrap()

  Description copied from interface: `HasWordWrap`
  Gets whether word-wrapping is enabled.

  Specified by:
    `getWordWrap` in interface `HasWordWrap`
  Returns:
    `true` if word-wrapping is enabled.

### setAutoHorizontalAlignment

    public void setAutoHorizontalAlignment(HasHorizontalAlignment.AutoHorizontalAlignmentConstant autoAlignment)

  Description copied from interface: `HasAutoHorizontalAlignment`
  Sets the horizontal alignment, allowing in addition to the "static" `HasHorizontalAlignment.HorizontalAlignmentConstant` values, the "automatic" `HasHorizontalAlignment.AutoHorizontalAlignmentConstant` values that depend on the content direction. Determines the values returned by both `HasAutoHorizontalAlignment.getAutoHorizontalAlignment()` and `HasHorizontalAlignment.getHorizontalAlignment()`.

  For the `ALIGN_CONTENT_START` and `ALIGN_CONTENT_END` values, sets the horizontal alignment (including the value of `HasHorizontalAlignment#getHorizontalAlignment()`) to the start or end edge of the current content's direction, respectively, and continues to automatically update it whenever the content direction changes.

  For other values, operates like `HasHorizontalAlignment.setHorizontalAlignment(com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HasHorizontalAlignment.HorizontalAlignmentConstant)`.

  For `null`, the horizontal alignment is cleared, allowing it to be determined by the standard HTML mechanisms such as inheritance and CSS rules.

  Specified by:
    `setAutoHorizontalAlignment` in interface `HasAutoHorizontalAlignment`
  Parameters:
    `autoAlignment` - the new automatic horizontal alignment policy
  See Also:
    `HasHorizontalAlignment`

### setDirectionEstimator

    public void setDirectionEstimator(boolean enabled)

  Toggles on / off direction estimation.

  See note at `setDirectionEstimator(DirectionEstimator)`.

  Specified by:
    `setDirectionEstimator` in interface `HasDirectionEstimator`
  Parameters:
    `enabled` - Whether to enable direction estimation. If `true`, sets the `DirectionEstimator` object to a default `DirectionEstimator`.

### setDirectionEstimator

    public void setDirectionEstimator(DirectionEstimator directionEstimator)

  Sets the `DirectionEstimator` object.

  Note: DirectionEstimator should be set before the widget has any content; it's highly recommended to set it using a constructor. Reason: if the widget already has non-empty content, this will update its direction according to the new estimator's result. This may cause flicker, and thus should be avoided.

  Specified by:
    `setDirectionEstimator` in interface `HasDirectionEstimator`
  Parameters:
    `directionEstimator` - The `DirectionEstimator` to be set. `null` means turning off direction estimation.

### setHorizontalAlignment

    public void setHorizontalAlignment(HasHorizontalAlignment.HorizontalAlignmentConstant align)

  Sets the horizontal alignment.

  Use `null` to clear horizontal alignment, allowing it to be determined by the standard HTML mechanisms such as inheritance and CSS rules.

  Note: A subsequent call to `setAutoHorizontalAlignment(com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HasHorizontalAlignment.AutoHorizontalAlignmentConstant)` may override the horizontal alignment set by this method.

  Note: For `null`, the horizontal alignment is cleared, allowing it to be determined by the standard HTML mechanisms such as inheritance and CSS rules.

  Specified by:
    `setHorizontalAlignment` in interface `HasHorizontalAlignment`
  Parameters:
    `align` - the horizontal alignment ( `HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_LEFT`, `HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_CENTER`, `HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_RIGHT`, `HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_JUSTIFY`, `HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_LOCALE_START`, or `HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_LOCALE_END`).
  See Also:
    `setAutoHorizontalAlignment(com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HasHorizontalAlignment.AutoHorizontalAlignmentConstant)`

### setWordWrap

    public void setWordWrap(boolean wrap)

  Description copied from interface: `HasWordWrap`
  Sets whether word-wrapping is enabled.

  Specified by:
    `setWordWrap` in interface `HasWordWrap`
  Parameters:
    `wrap` - `true` to enable word-wrapping.

### updateHorizontalAlignment

    protected void updateHorizontalAlignment()

  Sets the horizontal alignment of the widget according to the current AutoHorizontalAlignment setting. Should be invoked whenever the horizontal alignment may be affected, i.e. on every modification of the content or its direction.
