Interface BidiStringType

public interface BidiStringType

The BidiStringType class is a collection of constants generally used for describing the output string type of bidi (bi-directional text) data as defined by the CDRA (Character Data Representation Architecture).

Each CCSID has a default CDRA string type, which defines a set of Bidi flags. When using these constants while performing conversions on bidi strings, the parameter string type should always be either ST5 (LTR), ST6 (RTL), ST10 (Contextual LTR), or ST11 (Contextual RTL). Note that "LTR" means left-to-right, and "RTL" means right-to-left.

In fact, only the orientation of the given string type is used to modify the Bidi flags to apply to the Java data. The other Bidi flags of the Java data always conform to the Unicode standard.

Field Summary

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static int	DEFAULT The default string type for non bidi data (LTR).
static int	NONE String type used when an EBCDIC/Unicode conversion is desired, but without swapping, shaping, or transformation.
static int	ST10 String Type 10 Type of text: Implicit Orientation: Contextual LTR Symetric swapping: Yes Numeral shape: Nominal Text shapes: Nominal
static int	ST11 String Type 11 Type of text: Implicit Orientation: Contextual RTL Symetric swapping: Yes Numeral shape: Nominal Text shapes: Nominal
static int	ST4 String Type 4 Type of text: Visual Orientation: LTR Symetric swapping: No Numeral shape: Nominal Text shapes: Shaped
static int	ST5 String Type 5 Type of text: Implicit Orientation: LTR Symetric swapping: Yes Numeral shape: Nominal Text shapes: Nominal
static int	ST6 String Type 6 Type of text: Implicit Orientation: RTL Symetric swapping: Yes Numeral shape: Nominal Text shapes: Nominal
static int	ST7 String Type 7 Type of text: Visual Orientation: Contextual LTR Symetric swapping: No Numeral shape: Nominal Text shapes: Nominal
static int	ST8 String Type 8 Type of text: Visual Orientation: RTL Symetric swapping: No Numeral shape: Nominal Text shapes: Shaped
static int	ST9 String Type 9 Type of text: Visual Orientation: RTL Symetric swapping: Yes Numeral shape: Nominal Text shapes: Shaped
