x - the starting X position >= 0
y - the starting Y position >= 0
See Also:
drawUnselectedText(java.awt.Graphics, int, int, int, int), drawSelectedText(java.awt.Graphics, int, int, int, int)

                          throws BadLocationException
Renders the given range in the model as normal unselected text. Uses the foreground or disabled color to render the text.

Parameters:

Specified by:
getPreferredSpan in class View
Parameters:
axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS

nextTabStop

public float nextTabStop(float x,
