Specified by:
  `setFinished` in interface `LayoutManager`

#### addAreas

    public void addAreas(PositionIterator posIter,
                         LayoutContext context)

Tell the layout manager to add all the child areas implied by Position objects which will be returned by the Iterator.

Specified by:
  `addAreas` in interface `LayoutManager`
Parameters:
  `posIter` - the position iterator
  `context` - the context

#### getNextKnuthElements

    public List getNextKnuthElements(LayoutContext context,
                                     int alignment)

Get a sequence of KnuthElements representing the content of the node assigned to the LM.

Specified by:
  `getNextKnuthElements` in interface `LayoutManager`
Parameters:
  `context` - the LayoutContext used to store layout information
  `alignment` - the desired text alignment
Returns:
  the list of KnuthElements

#### getChangedKnuthElements

    public List<ListElement> getChangedKnuthElements(List<ListElement> oldList,
                                                     int alignment)

Get a sequence of KnuthElements representing the content of the node assigned to the LM, after changes have been applied In the context of line breaking, this method is called after hyphenation has been performed, in order to receive the sequence of elements representing the text together with all possible hyphenation points. For example, if the text "representation" originates a single box element when getNextKnuthElements() is called, it will be now split in syllables (rep-re-sen-ta-tion) each one originating a box and divided by additional elements allowing a line break. In the context of page breaking, this method is called only if the pages need to be "vertically justified" modifying (also) the quantity of lines created by the paragraphs, and after a first page breaking has been performed. According to the result of the first page breaking, each paragraph now knows how many lines it must create (among the existing layout possibilities) and has to create a sequence of elements representing this layout; in particular, each box, representing a line, will contain a LineBreakPositions that will be used in the addAreas() phase. LMs having children look at the old list of elements in order to know which ones they must get the new elements from, as break conditions of preserved linefeeds can divide children into smaller groups (page sequences or paragraphs). LMs having no children can simply return the old elements if they have nothing to change. Inline LMs need to know the text alignment because it affects the elements representing feasible breaks between syllables.

Specified by:
  `getChangedKnuthElements` in interface `LayoutManager`
Parameters:
  `oldList` - the elements to replace
  `alignment` - the desired text alignment
Returns:
  the updated list of KnuthElements

#### getParentArea

    public Area getParentArea(Area childArea)

Return an Area which can contain the passed childArea. The childArea may not yet have any content, but it has essential traits set. In general, if the LayoutManager already has an Area it simply returns it. Otherwise, it makes a new Area of the appropriate class. It gets a parent area for its area by calling its parent LM. Finally, based on the dimensions of the parent area, it initializes its own area. This includes setting the content IPD and the maximum BPD.

Specified by:
  `getParentArea` in interface `LayoutManager`
Parameters:
  `childArea` - the child area for which the parent area is wanted
Returns:
  the parent area for the given child

#### addChildArea

    public void addChildArea(Area childArea)

Add a child area to the current area. If this causes the maximum dimension of the current area to be exceeded, the parent LM is called to add it.

Specified by:
  `addChildArea` in interface `LayoutManager`
Parameters:
  `childArea` - the child area to be added

#### createChildLMs

    protected List<LayoutManager> createChildLMs(int size)

Create the LM instances for the children of the formatting object being handled by this LM.

Parameters:
  `size` - the requested number of child LMs
Returns:
  the list with the preloaded child LMs

Specified by:
  `getPSLM` in interface `LayoutManager`
Returns:
  the PageSequenceLayoutManager

#### hasLineAreaDescendant

    public boolean hasLineAreaDescendant()

Description copied from interface: `LayoutManager`
Whether the FO handled by this layout manager has a descendant (including itself) that will generate a line-area.

Specified by:
  `hasLineAreaDescendant` in interface `LayoutManager`
Returns:
  `true` if a descendant line-area will be generated, `false` otherwise

#### getBaselineOffset

    public int getBaselineOffset()

Description copied from interface: `LayoutManager`

The behavior of this method is undefined if this FO has no descendant line-area, and an exception may be thrown. See `LayoutManager.hasLineAreaDescendant()`

Specified by:
  `getBaselineOffset` in interface `LayoutManager`
Returns:
  this FO's space-before plus the distance from the before-edge of its allocation-rectangle to the dominant-baseline of the first line-area descendant
