### Constructor Detail

#### LabelView

    public LabelView​(Element elem)

Constructs a new view wrapped on an element.

Parameters:
  `elem` - the element

### Method Detail

#### setUnderline

    protected void setUnderline​(boolean u)

Sets whether or not the view is underlined. Note that this setter is protected and is really only meant if you need to update some additional state when set.

Parameters:
  `u` - true if the view is underlined, otherwise false
See Also:
  `isUnderline()`

#### setStrikeThrough

    protected void setStrikeThrough​(boolean s)

Sets whether or not the view has a strike/line through it. Note that this setter is protected and is really only meant if you need to update some additional state when set.

Parameters:
  `s` - true if the view has a strike/line through it, otherwise false
See Also:
  `isStrikeThrough()`

#### setSuperscript

    protected void setSuperscript​(boolean s)

Sets whether or not the view represents a superscript. Note that this setter is protected and is really only meant if you need to update some additional state when set.

Parameters:
  `s` - true if the view represents a superscript, otherwise false
See Also:
  `isSuperscript()`

#### setSubscript

    protected void setSubscript​(boolean s)

Sets whether or not the view represents a subscript. Note that this setter is protected and is really only meant if you need to update some additional state when set.

Parameters:
  `s` - true if the view represents a subscript, otherwise false
See Also:
  `isSubscript()`

#### setBackground

    protected void setBackground​(Color bg)

Sets the background color for the view. This method is typically invoked as part of configuring this `View`. If you need to customize the background color you should override `setPropertiesFromAttributes` and invoke this method. A value of null indicates no background should be rendered, so that the background of the parent `View` will show through.

Parameters:
  `bg` - background color, or null
Since:
  1.5
See Also:
  `setPropertiesFromAttributes()`

#### setPropertiesFromAttributes

    protected void setPropertiesFromAttributes()

Sets the cached properties from the attributes.

#### getFontMetrics

    @Deprecated
    protected FontMetrics getFontMetrics()

Deprecated.
FontMetrics are not used for glyph rendering when running in the JDK.
Fetches the `FontMetrics` used for this view.

Returns:
  the `FontMetrics` used for this view

#### getBackground

    public Color getBackground()

Fetches the background color to use to render the glyphs. This is implemented to return a cached background color, which defaults to `null`.

Overrides:
  `getBackground` in class `GlyphView`
Returns:
  the cached background color
Since:
  1.3

#### getForeground

    public Color getForeground()

Fetches the foreground color to use to render the glyphs. This is implemented to return a cached foreground color, which defaults to `null`.

Overrides:
  `getForeground` in class `GlyphView`
Returns:
  the cached foreground color
Since:
  1.3

#### getFont

    public Font getFont()

Fetches the font that the glyphs should be based upon. This is implemented to return a cached font.

Overrides:
  `getFont` in class `GlyphView`
Returns:
  the cached font

#### isUnderline

    public boolean isUnderline()

Determines if the glyphs should be underlined. If true, an underline should be drawn through the baseline. This is implemented to return the cached underline property.

When you request this property, `LabelView` re-syncs its state with the properties of the `Element`'s `AttributeSet`. If `Element`'s `AttributeSet` does not have this property set, it will revert to false.

Overrides:
  `isUnderline` in class `GlyphView`
Returns:
  the value of the cached `underline` property
Since:
  1.3

#### isStrikeThrough

    public boolean isStrikeThrough()

Determines if the glyphs should have a strikethrough line. If true, a line should be drawn through the center of the glyphs. This is implemented to return the cached `strikeThrough` property.

When you request this property, `LabelView` re-syncs its state with the properties of the `Element`'s `AttributeSet`. If `Element`'s `AttributeSet` does not have this property set, it will revert to false.

Overrides:
  `isStrikeThrough` in class `GlyphView`
Returns:
  the value of the cached `strikeThrough` property
Since:
  1.3

#### isSubscript

    public boolean isSubscript()

Determines if the glyphs should be rendered as superscript.

Overrides:
  `isSubscript` in class `GlyphView`
Returns:
  the value of the cached subscript property

  When you request this property, `LabelView` re-syncs its state with the properties of the `Element`'s `AttributeSet`. If `Element`'s `AttributeSet` does not have this property set, it will revert to false.

Since:
  1.3

#### isSuperscript

    public boolean isSuperscript()

Determines if the glyphs should be rendered as subscript.

When you request this property, `LabelView` re-syncs its state with the properties of the `Element`'s `AttributeSet`. If `Element`'s `AttributeSet` does not have this property set, it will revert to false.

Overrides:
  `isSuperscript` in class `GlyphView`
Returns:
  the value of the cached `superscript` property
Since:
  1.3

#### changedUpdate

    public void changedUpdate​(DocumentEvent e,
                              Shape a,
                              ViewFactory f)

Gives notification from the document that attributes were changed in a location that this view is responsible for.

Overrides:
  `changedUpdate` in class `GlyphView`
Parameters:
  `e` - the change information from the associated document
  `a` - the current allocation of the view
  `f` - the factory to use to rebuild if the view has children

  `View.changedUpdate(javax.swing.event.DocumentEvent, java.awt.Shape, javax.swing.text.ViewFactory)`
