      extended by org.extex.interpreter.type.AbstractAssignment
          extended by org.extex.unit.tex.register.box.Ht
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Serializable, CountConvertible, DimenConvertible, Code, ExpandableCode, Theable
public class Ht
extends AbstractAssignment
implements ExpandableCode, Theable, CountConvertible, DimenConvertible

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \ht.

The Primitive \ht

The primitive \ht refers to the height of a box register. It can be used in various contexts.

The formal description of this primitive is the following: 

    ⟨ht⟩
      → \ht ⟨box register name⟩ ⟨equals⟩ ⟨dimen⟩

Examples

    \ht42  
   \advance\dimen12 \ht0
   \ht12=123pt

Constructor Detail

Ht

public Ht(CodeToken token)
Creates a new object.

Parameters:
token - the initial token for the primitive
Method Detail

assign

public void assign(Flags prefix,
                   Context context,
                   TokenSource source,
                   Typesetter typesetter)
            throws HelpingException,
                   TypesetterException
The method assign is the core of the functionality of execute(). This method is preferable to execute() since the execute() method provided in this class takes care of \afterassignment and \globaldefs as well.

Specified by:
assign in class AbstractAssignment
Parameters:
prefix - the prefix controlling the execution
context - the interpreter context
source - the token source
typesetter - the typesetter
Throws:
HelpingException - in case of an error
TypesetterException - in case of an error in the typesetter
See Also:
AbstractAssignment.assign( org.extex.interpreter.Flags, org.extex.interpreter.context.Context, org.extex.interpreter.TokenSource, org.extex.typesetter.Typesetter)

convertCount

public long convertCount(Context context,
                         TokenSource source,
                         Typesetter typesetter)
                  throws HelpingException,
                         TypesetterException
This method converts a register into a count. It might be necessary to read further tokens to determine which value to use. For instance an additional register number might be required. In this case the additional arguments Context and TokenSource can be used.

Specified by:
convertCount in interface CountConvertible
Parameters:
context - the interpreter context
source - the source for new tokens
typesetter - the typesetter to use for conversion
Returns:
the converted value
Throws:
HelpingException - in case of an error
TypesetterException - in case of an error in the typesetter
See Also:
CountConvertible.convertCount( org.extex.interpreter.context.Context, org.extex.interpreter.TokenSource, org.extex.typesetter.Typesetter)

convertDimen

public long convertDimen(Context context,
                         TokenSource source,
                         Typesetter typesetter)
                  throws HelpingException,
                         TypesetterException
This method converts a register into a dimen. It might be necessary to read further tokens to determine which value to use. For instance an additional register number might be required. In this case the additional arguments Context and TokenSource can be used. The return value is the length in scaled points.

Specified by:
convertDimen in interface DimenConvertible
Parameters:
context - the interpreter context
source - the source for new tokens
typesetter - the typesetter to use for conversion
Returns:
the converted value in sp
Throws:
HelpingException - in case of an error
TypesetterException - in case of an error in the typesetter
See Also:
DimenConvertible.convertDimen( org.extex.interpreter.context.Context, org.extex.interpreter.TokenSource, org.extex.typesetter.Typesetter)

expand

public void expand(Flags prefix,
                   Context context,
                   TokenSource source,
                   Typesetter typesetter)
            throws HelpingException,
                   TypesetterException
This method takes the first token and expands it. The result is placed on the stack. This means that expandable code does one step of expansion and puts the result on the stack. To expand a token it might be necessary to consume further tokens.

Specified by:
expand in interface ExpandableCode
Parameters:
prefix - the prefix flags controlling the expansion
context - the interpreter context
source - the token source
typesetter - the typesetter
Throws:
HelpingException - in case of an error
TypesetterException - in case of an error in the typesetter
See Also:
ExpandableCode.expand( org.extex.interpreter.Flags, org.extex.interpreter.context.Context, org.extex.interpreter.TokenSource, org.extex.typesetter.Typesetter)

the

public Tokens the(Context context,
                  TokenSource source,
                  Typesetter typesetter)
           throws HelpingException,
                  TypesetterException
This method is the getter for the description of the primitive.

Specified by:
the in interface Theable
Parameters:
context - the interpreter context
source - the source for further tokens to qualify the request
typesetter - the typesetter to use
Returns:
the description of the primitive as list of Tokens
Throws:
HelpingException - in case of an error
TypesetterException - in case of an error
