<dd>This is the central interface for text layouting. </dd>
<dd><p>
This is the central interface for text-related tasks more
complicated than simple string rendering. Note that all query
methods are subject to the current layout state of this
object. That is, calls to <a href="XTextLayout.html#justify()">justify()</a>
or <a href="XTextLayout.html#applyLogicalAdvancements()">applyLogicalAdvancements()</a> are
likely to change subsequent output of those query methods. <p>
Similar to <a href="XCanvasFont.html">XCanvasFont</a> , all measurements and
coordinates accepted and returned by this interface are relative
to the font's local coordinate system (which only equals device
coordinate space, if the combined render transformation used
during text output is the identity transformation). Conversely, if
the combined transformation used during text output is
<em>not </em>the identity transformation, all measurements
returned by this interface should be subjected to that
transformation, to yield values in device coordinate space.
Depending on the underlying font technology, actual device output
might be off by up to one device pixel from the transformed
metrics. <p>

<dd>This method yields the baseline offset. </dd>
<dd><p>
This method returns the baseline offset for this layout
object, either measured from the top or the left edge,
depending on the writing direction (horizontally or
vertically). Since rendering this layout via
<a href="XCanvas.html">XCanvas</a>::<a href="XCanvas.html#drawTextLayout">drawTextLayout()</a> outputs relative to
the layout object's baseline, this method can be used to
e.g. output relative to the left, top edge. <p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Returns</b></dt>
<dd>the distance of the main baseline from the top or the
left edge of this object, depending on the writing direction.
