HyphenationTree

public HyphenationTree()

Method Detail

packValues

protected int packValues(String values)

Packs the values by storing them in 4 bits, two values into a byte Values range is from 0 to 9. We use zero as terminator, so we'll add 1 to the value.

Parameters:

values - a string of digits from '0' to '9' representing the interletter values.

Returns:

the index into the vspace array where the packed values are stored.

unpackValues

protected String unpackValues(int k)

loadSimplePatterns

public void loadSimplePatterns(InputStream stream)

findPattern

public String findPattern(String pat)

hstrcmp

protected int hstrcmp(char[] s,
                      int si,
                      char[] t,
                      int ti)

String compare, returns 0 if equal or t is a substring of s

getValues

protected byte[] getValues(int k)

searchPatterns

protected void searchPatterns(char[] word,
                              int index,
                              byte[] il)

Search for all possible partial matches of word starting at index an update interletter values. In other words, it does something like:

for(i=0; i

But it is done in an efficient way since the patterns are stored in a ternary tree. In fact, this is the whole purpose of having the tree: doing this search without having to test every single pattern. The number of patterns for languages such as English range from 4000 to 10000. Thus, doing thousands of string comparisons for each word to hyphenate would be really slow without the tree. The tradeoff is memory, but using a ternary tree instead of a trie, almost halves the the memory used by Lout or TeX. It's also faster than using a hash table

Parameters:

word - null terminated word to match

index - start index from word

il - interletter values array to update

hyphenate

public Hyphenation hyphenate(String word,
                             int remainCharCount,
                             int pushCharCount)

Hyphenate word and return a Hyphenation object.

Parameters:

word - the word to be hyphenated

remainCharCount - Minimum number of characters allowed before the hyphenation point.

pushCharCount - Minimum number of characters allowed after the hyphenation point.

Returns:

a Hyphenation object representing the hyphenated word or null if word is not hyphenated.

hyphenate

public Hyphenation hyphenate(char[] w,
                             int offset,
                             int len,
                             int remainCharCount,
                             int pushCharCount)

Hyphenate word and return an array of hyphenation points.

Parameters:

w - char array that contains the word

offset - Offset to first character in word

len - Length of word

remainCharCount - Minimum number of characters allowed before the hyphenation point.

pushCharCount - Minimum number of characters allowed after the hyphenation point.

Returns:

a Hyphenation object representing the hyphenated word or null if word is not hyphenated.

addClass

public void addClass(String chargroup)

Add a character class to the tree. It is used by SimplePatternParser as callback to add character classes. Character classes define the valid word characters for hyphenation. If a word contains a character not defined in any of the classes, it is not hyphenated. It also defines a way to normalize the characters in order to compare them with the stored patterns. Usually pattern files use only lower case characters, in this case a class for letter 'a', for example, should be defined as "aA", the first character being the normalization char.

Specified by:

addClass in interface PatternConsumer

Parameters:

chargroup - character group

addException

public void addException(String word,
                         ArrayList hyphenatedword)

Add an exception to the tree. It is used by SimplePatternParser class as callback to store the hyphenation exceptions.

Specified by:

addException in interface PatternConsumer

Parameters:

word - normalized word

hyphenatedword - a vector of alternating strings and hyphen objects.

addPattern

public void addPattern(String pattern,
                       String ivalue)

Add a pattern to the tree. Mainly, to be used by SimplePatternParser class as callback to add a pattern to the tree.

Specified by:

addPattern in interface PatternConsumer

Parameters:

pattern - the hyphenation pattern

ivalue - interletter weight values indicating the desirability and priority of hyphenating at a given point within the pattern. It should contain only digit characters. (i.e. '0' to '9').

printStats

public void printStats()

Overrides:

printStats in class TernaryTree
