AttributedString

Synopsis

This class represents text and associated attributes. An AttributedString can be defined in terms of an underlying AttributedCharacterIterator or an underlying String. Additional attributes can be specified with the addAttribute( ) and addAttributes( ) methods. getIterator( ) returns an AttributedCharacterIterator over the AttributedString or over a specified portion of the string. Note that two of the getIterator( ) methods take an array of Attribute keys as an argument. These methods return an AttributedCharacterIterator that ignores all attributes that are not in the specified array. If the array argument is null, however, the returned iterator contains all attributes.
