public final class TextLayout
extends Resource
```
TextLayout is a graphic object that represents styled text.
Instances of this class provide support for drawing, cursor navigation, hit testing, text wrapping, alignment, tab expansion line breaking, etc. These are aspects required for rendering internationalized text.
Application code must explicitly invoke the TextLayout#dispose() method to release the operating system resources managed by each instance when those instances are no longer required.

Since:

3.0

    Parameters:
    
    descent - the new descent
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException -

    Parameters:
    
    font - the new font for the receiver, or null to indicate a default font
    
    Throws:

```
public void setOrientation(int orientation)
```
    Sets the orientation of the receiver, which must be one of SWT.LEFT_TO_RIGHT or SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT.

    ERROR_GRAPHIC_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  - setSegments
```
public void setSegments(int[] segments)
```
    Sets the offsets of the receiver's text segments. Text segments are used to override the default behavior of the bidirectional algorithm. Bidirectional reordering can happen within a text segment but not between two adjacent segments.
    Each text segment is determined by two consecutive offsets in the segments arrays. The first element of the array should always be zero and the last one should always be equals to length of the text.
    
    When segments characters are set, the segments are the offsets where the characters are inserted in the text.
    Parameters:
    
    segments - the text segments offset
    
    Throws:
    
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_GRAPHIC_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
    
    See Also:
    
    setSegmentsChars(char[])
  - setSegmentsChars
```
public void setSegmentsChars(char[] segmentsChars)
```
    Sets the characters to be used in the segments boundaries. The segments are set by calling setSegments(int[]). The application can use this API to insert Unicode Control Characters in the text to control the display of the text and bidi reordering. The characters are not accessible by any other API in TextLayout.
    Parameters:
    
    segmentsChars - the segments characters
    
    Throws:
    
    SWTException -

    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException -
    
    ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT - if the spacing is negative
    
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_GRAPHIC_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  - setVerticalIndent

```
public void setTabs(int[] tabs)
