Static variables

`staticinlineread onlyLENGTHADJUST_SPACING:Int = 1`

`staticinlineread onlyLENGTHADJUST_SPACINGANDGLYPHS:Int = 2`

`staticinlineread onlyLENGTHADJUST_UNKNOWN:Int = 0`

Variables

`read onlylengthAdjust:AnimatedEnumeration`

An SVGAnimatedEnumeration reflecting the lengthAdjust attribute of the given element. The numeric type values represent one of the constant values above.

`read onlytextLength:AnimatedLength`

An SVGAnimatedLength reflecting the textLength attribute of the given element.

Methods

`getCharNumAtPosition(point:Point):Int`

Returns a long representing the character which caused a text glyph to be rendered at a given position in the coordinate system. Because the relationship between characters and glyphs is not one-to-one, only the first character of the relevant typographic character is returned

`getComputedTextLength():Float`

Returns a float representing the computed length for the text within the element.

`getEndPositionOfChar(charnum:Int):Point`

Returns a DOMPoint representing the trailing position of a typographic character after text layout has been performed. Note: In SVG 1.1 this method returned an SVGPoint.

	@throws DOMError

`getExtentOfChar(charnum:Int):Rect`

Returns a DOMRect representing the computed tight bounding box of the glyph cell that corresponds to a given typographic character.

Throws:

`null`	DOMError

`getNumberOfChars():Int`

Returns a long representing the total number of addressable characters available for rendering within the current element, regardless of whether they will be rendered.

`getRotationOfChar(charnum:Int):Float`

Returns a float representing the rotation of typographic character.

Throws:

`null`	DOMError

`getStartPositionOfChar(charnum:Int):Point`

Returns a DOMPoint representing the position of a typographic character after text layout has been performed. Note: In SVG 1.1 this method returned an SVGPoint.

	@throws DOMError

`getSubStringLength(charnum:Int, nchars:Int):Float`

Returns a float representing the computed length of the formatted text advance distance for a substring of text within the element. Note that this method only accounts for the widths of the glyphs in the substring and any extra spacing inserted by the CSS 'letter-spacing' and 'word-spacing' properties. Visual spacing adjustments made by the 'x' attribute is ignored.

Throws:

`null`	DOMError

`selectSubString(charnum:Int, nchars:Int):Void`

Selects text within the element.

Throws:

`null`	DOMError
