# Prawn::Text::Formatted::Box

Generally, one would use the Prawn::Text::Formatted#formatted_text_box convenience method. However, using Text::Formatted::Box.new in conjunction with render(:dry_run => true) enables one to do look-ahead calculations prior to placing text on the page, or to determine how much vertical space was consumed by the printed text

### Attributes

ascender[R]

The height of the ascender of the last line printed

at[R]

The upper left corner of the text box

descender[R]

The height of the descender of the last line printed

leading[R]

The leading used during printing

line_height[R]

The line height of the last line printed

text[R]

The text that was successfully printed (or, if `dry_run` was used, the text that would have been successfully printed)

### Public Class Methods

Example (see Prawn::Text::Core::Formatted::Wrap for what is required of the wrap method if you want to override the default wrapping algorithm):

    module MyWrap

      def wrap(array)
        initialize_wrap([{ :text => 'all your base are belong to us' }])
        @line_wrap.wrap_line(:document => @document,
                             :kerning => @kerning,
                             :width => 10000,
                             :arranger => @arranger)
        fragment = @arranger.retrieve_fragment
        format_and_draw_fragment(fragment, 0, @line_wrap.width, 0)
        []
      end

    end

    Prawn::Text::Formatted::Box.extensions << MyWrap

    box = Prawn::Text::Formatted::Box.new('hello world')
    box.render('why can't I print anything other than' +
               '"all your base are belong to us"?')

### Public Instance Methods

available_width() click to toggle source

The width available at this point in the box

    # File lib/prawn/text/formatted/box.rb, line 270
    def available_width
      @width
    end

everything_printed?() click to toggle source

True iff everything printed (or, if `dry_run` was used, everything would have been successfully printed)

    # File lib/prawn/text/formatted/box.rb, line 118
    def everything_printed?
      @everything_printed
    end

height() click to toggle source

The height actually used during the previous `render`

    # File lib/prawn/text/formatted/box.rb, line 276
    def height
      return 0 if @baseline_y.nil? || @descender.nil?
      (@baseline_y - @descender).abs
    end

line_gap() click to toggle source

    # File lib/prawn/text/formatted/box.rb, line 133
    def line_gap
      line_height - (ascender + descender)
    end

nothing_printed?() click to toggle source

True iff nothing printed (or, if `dry_run` was used, nothing would have been successfully printed)

    # File lib/prawn/text/formatted/box.rb, line 112
    def nothing_printed?
      @nothing_printed
    end

render(flags={}) click to toggle source

Render text to the document based on the settings defined in initialize.

In order to facilitate look-ahead calculations, `render` accepts a `:dry_run => true` option. If provided, then everything is executed as if rendering, with the exception that nothing is drawn on the page. Useful for look-ahead computations of height, unprinted text, etc.

Returns any text that did not print under the current settings

    # File lib/prawn/text/formatted/box.rb, line 236
    def render(flags={})
      unprinted_text = []

      @document.save_font do
        @document.character_spacing(@character_spacing) do
          @document.text_rendering_mode(@mode) do
            process_options

            if @skip_encoding
              text = original_text
            else
              text = normalize_encoding
            end

            @document.font_size(@font_size) do
              shrink_to_fit(text) if @overflow == :shrink_to_fit
              process_vertical_alignment(text)
              @inked = true unless flags[:dry_run]
              if @rotate != 0 && @inked
                unprinted_text = render_rotated(text)
              else
                unprinted_text = wrap(text)
              end
              @inked = false
            end
          end
        end
      end

      unprinted_text
    end

valid_options() click to toggle source

    # File lib/prawn/text/formatted/box.rb, line 93
    def valid_options
      Prawn::Core::Text::VALID_OPTIONS + [:at, :height, :width,
                                          :align, :valign,
                                          :rotate, :rotate_around,
                                          :overflow, :min_font_size,
                                          :leading, :character_spacing,
                                          :mode, :single_line,
                                          :skip_encoding,
                                          :document,
                                          :direction,
                                          :fallback_fonts]
