- ## Constructor Details

  - ### ParagraphView

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

- ## Method Details

  - ### 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 `CompositeView`
    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`
    Returns:
      the attributes to use when rendering

  - ### 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()
    Convenient method to get the StyleSheet.
    Returns:
      the StyleSheet

  - ### calculateMinorAxisRequirements

    protected SizeRequirements calculateMinorAxisRequirements(int axis, SizeRequirements r)
    Calculate the needs for the paragraph along the minor axis.

    If size requirements are explicitly specified for the paragraph, use that requirements. Otherwise, use the requirements of the superclass `ParagraphView`.

    If the `axis` parameter is neither `View.X_AXIS` nor `View.Y_AXIS`, `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown. If the `r` parameter is `null,` a new `SizeRequirements` object is created, otherwise the supplied `SizeRequirements` object is returned.

    Overrides:
      `calculateMinorAxisRequirements` in class `ParagraphView`
    Parameters:
      `axis` - the minor axis
      `r` - the input `SizeRequirements` object
    Returns:
      the new or adjusted `SizeRequirements` object
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if the `axis` parameter is invalid
    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 delegate 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(Graphics, 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)`
