- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### ParagraphView

          public ParagraphView(Element elem)

      Constructs a ParagraphView for the given element.
      Parameters:
        `elem` - the element that this view is responsible for

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setParent

          public void setParent(View parent)

      Establishes the parent view for this view. This is guaranteed to be called before any other methods if the parent view is functioning properly.

      This is implemented to forward to the superclass as well as call the setPropertiesFromAttributes method to set the paragraph properties from the css attributes. The call is made at this time to ensure the ability to resolve upward through the parents view attributes.

      Overrides:
        `setParent` in class `FlowView`
      Parameters:
        `parent` - the new parent, or null if the view is being removed from a parent it was previously added to

    - #### getAttributes

          public AttributeSet getAttributes()

      Fetches the attributes to use when rendering. This is implemented to multiplex the attributes specified in the model with a StyleSheet.
      Overrides:
        `getAttributes` in class `View`

    - #### setPropertiesFromAttributes

          protected void setPropertiesFromAttributes()

      Sets up the paragraph from css attributes instead of the values found in StyleConstants (i.e. which are used by the superclass). Since
      Overrides:
        `setPropertiesFromAttributes` in class `ParagraphView`

    - #### getStyleSheet

          protected StyleSheet getStyleSheet()

    - #### calculateMinorAxisRequirements

          protected SizeRequirements calculateMinorAxisRequirements(int axis,
                                                        SizeRequirements r)

      Calculate the needs for the paragraph along the minor axis. This implemented to use the requirements of the superclass, modified slightly to set a minimum span allowed. Typical html rendering doesn't let the view size shrink smaller than the length of the longest word.
      Overrides:
        `calculateMinorAxisRequirements` in class `FlowView`
      Parameters:
        `axis` - the axis being studied
        `r` - the `SizeRequirements` object; if `null` one will be created
      Returns:
        the newly initialized `SizeRequirements` object
      See Also:
        `SizeRequirements`

    - #### isVisible

          public boolean isVisible()

      Indicates whether or not this view should be displayed. If none of the children wish to be displayed and the only visible child is the break that ends the paragraph, the paragraph will not be considered visible. Otherwise, it will be considered visible and return true.
      Overrides:
        `isVisible` in class `View`
      Returns:
        true if the paragraph should be displayed

    - #### paint

          public void paint(Graphics g,
                   Shape a)

      Renders using the given rendering surface and area on that surface. This is implemented to delgate to the superclass after stashing the base coordinate for tab calculations.
      Overrides:
        `paint` in class `ParagraphView`
      Parameters:
        `g` - the rendering surface to use
        `a` - the allocated region to render into
      See Also:
        `View.paint(java.awt.Graphics, java.awt.Shape)`

    - #### getPreferredSpan

          public float getPreferredSpan(int axis)

      Determines the preferred span for this view. Returns 0 if the view is not visible, otherwise it calls the superclass method to get the preferred span. axis.
      Overrides:
        `getPreferredSpan` in class `BoxView`
      Parameters:
        `axis` - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS
      Returns:
        the span the view would like to be rendered into; typically the view is told to render into the span that is returned, although there is no guarantee; the parent may choose to resize or break the view
      See Also:
        `BoxView.getPreferredSpan(int)`

    - #### getMinimumSpan

          public float getMinimumSpan(int axis)

      Determines the minimum span for this view along an axis. Returns 0 if the view is not visible, otherwise it calls the superclass method to get the minimum span.
      Overrides:
        `getMinimumSpan` in class `BoxView`
      Parameters:
        `axis` - may be either `View.X_AXIS` or `View.Y_AXIS`
      Returns:
        the minimum span the view can be rendered into
      See Also:
        `BoxView.getMinimumSpan(int)`

    - #### getMaximumSpan

          public float getMaximumSpan(int axis)

      Determines the maximum span for this view along an axis. Returns 0 if the view is not visible, otherwise it calls the superclass method ot get the maximum span.
      Overrides:
        `getMaximumSpan` in class `BoxView`
      Parameters:
        `axis` - may be either `View.X_AXIS` or `View.Y_AXIS`
      Returns:
        the maximum span the view can be rendered into
      See Also:
        `BoxView.getMaximumSpan(int)`
