## Class SpaceSpecifier

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.SpaceSpecifier

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable

      public class SpaceSpecifier
      extends Object
      implements Cloneable

  Accumulate a sequence of space-specifiers (XSL space type) on areas with a stacking constraint. Provide a way to resolve these into a single MinOptMax value.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### SpaceSpecifier

          public SpaceSpecifier(boolean startsReferenceArea)

      Creates a new SpaceSpecifier.
      Parameters:
        `startsReferenceArea` - true if it starts a new reference area

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### clone

          public Object clone()

      Overrides:
        `clone` in class `Object`

    - #### clear

          public void clear()

      Clear all space specifiers

    - #### hasSpaces

          public boolean hasSpaces()

      Indicates whether any space-specifiers have been added.
      Returns:
        true if any space-specifiers have been added.

    - #### addSpace

          public void addSpace(SpaceVal space)

      Add a new space to the sequence. If this sequence starts a reference area, and the added space is conditional, and there are no non-conditional values in the sequence yet, then ignore it. Otherwise add it to the sequence.
      Parameters:
        `space` - the space to add.

    - #### resolve

          public MinOptMax resolve(boolean endsReferenceArea)

      Resolve the current sequence of space-specifiers, accounting for forcing values.
      Parameters:
        `endsReferenceArea` - whether the sequence should be resolved at the trailing edge of reference area.
      Returns:
        the resolved value as a min/opt/max triple.

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
