/**
 * The <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code> class allows styled text to be
 * broken into lines (or segments) that fit within a particular visual
 * advance.  This is useful for clients who wish to display a paragraph of
 * text that fits within a specific width, called the <b>wrapping
 * width</b>.
 * <p>
 * <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code> is constructed with an iterator over
 * styled text.  The iterator's range should be a single paragraph in the
 * text.
 * <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code> maintains a position in the text for the
 * start of the next text segment.  Initially, this position is the
 * start of text.  Paragraphs are assigned an overall direction (either
 * left-to-right or right-to-left) according to the bidirectional
 * formatting rules.  All segments obtained from a paragraph have the
 * same direction as the paragraph.
 * <p>
 * Segments of text are obtained by calling the method
 * <code>nextLayout</code>, which returns a {@link TextLayout}
 * representing the text that fits within the wrapping width.
 * The <code>nextLayout</code> method moves the current position
 * to the end of the layout returned from <code>nextLayout</code>.
 * <p>
 * <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code> implements the most commonly used
 * line-breaking policy: Every word that fits within the wrapping
 * width is placed on the line. If the first word does not fit, then all
 * of the characters that fit within the wrapping width are placed on the
 * line.  At least one character is placed on each line.
 * <p>
 * The <code>TextLayout</code> instances returned by
 * <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code> treat tabs like 0-width spaces.  Clients
 * who wish to obtain tab-delimited segments for positioning should use
 * the overload of <code>nextLayout</code> which takes a limiting offset
 * in the text.
 * The limiting offset should be the first character after the tab.
 * The <code>TextLayout</code> objects returned from this method end
 * at the limit provided (or before, if the text between the current
 * position and the limit won't fit entirely within the  wrapping
 * width).
 * <p>
 * Clients who are laying out tab-delimited text need a slightly
 * different line-breaking policy after the first segment has been
 * placed on a line.  Instead of fitting partial words in the
 * remaining space, they should place words which don't fit in the
 * remaining space entirely on the next line.  This change of policy
 * can be requested in the overload of <code>nextLayout</code> which
 * takes a <code>boolean</code> parameter.  If this parameter is
 * <code>true</code>, <code>nextLayout</code> returns
 * <code>null</code> if the first word won't fit in
 * the given space.  See the tab sample below.
 * <p>
 * In general, if the text used to construct the
 * <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code> changes, a new
 * <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code> must be constructed to reflect
 * the change.  (The old <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code> continues to
 * function properly, but it won't be aware of the text change.)
 * Nevertheless, if the text change is the insertion or deletion of a
 * single character, an existing <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code> can be
 * 'updated' by calling <code>insertChar</code> or
 * <code>deleteChar</code>. Updating an existing
 * <code>LineBreakMeasurer</code> is much faster than creating a new one.
 * Clients who modify text based on user typing should take advantage
 * of these methods.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Examples</strong>:<p>
 * Rendering a paragraph in a component
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>{@code
 * public void paint(Graphics graphics) {
 *
 *     Point2D pen = new Point2D(10, 20);
 *     Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)graphics;
 *     FontRenderContext frc = g2d.getFontRenderContext();
 *
 *     // let styledText be an AttributedCharacterIterator containing at least
 *     // one character
 *
 *     LineBreakMeasurer measurer = new LineBreakMeasurer(styledText, frc);
 *     float wrappingWidth = getSize().width - 15;
 *
 *     while (measurer.getPosition() < fStyledText.length()) {
 *
 *         TextLayout layout = measurer.nextLayout(wrappingWidth);
 *
 *         pen.y += (layout.getAscent());
 *         float dx = layout.isLeftToRight() ?
 *             0 : (wrappingWidth - layout.getAdvance());
 *
 *         layout.draw(graphics, pen.x + dx, pen.y);
 *         pen.y += layout.getDescent() + layout.getLeading();
