View at index n.
 Typically the Views are layed out
 from left to right, so that the View
 to the EAST will be at index n + 1, and the
 View to the WEST will be at index n - 1.
 In certain situations, such as with bidirectional text,
 it is possible that the View to EAST is not
 at index n + 1, but rather at index n - 1,
 or that the View to the WEST is not at
 index n - 1, but index n + 1.  In this case this method
 would return true, indicating the Views are
 layed out in descending order.
 This will return true if the text is layed out right to left at position, otherwise false.

getTabbedSpan on the logical children in the process
 of layout to determine the desired span of the children.  The
 logical children can delegate their tab expansion upward to
 the paragraph which knows how to expand tabs.
 LabelView is an example of a view that delegates
 its tab expansion needs upward to the paragraph.
 
 This is implemented to try and locate a TabSet
 in the paragraph element's attribute set.  If one can be
 found, its settings will be used, otherwise a default expansion
 will be provided.  The base location for for tab expansion
 is the left inset from the paragraphs most recent allocation
 (which is what the layout of the children is based upon).

 This uses getPartialView to calculate the
 size if the child view implements the

 size is needed and a View does not implement
 the TabableView interface,
 the preferredSpan will be used.startOffset - the starting document offset >= 0endOffset - the ending document offset >= startOffsetprotected int findOffsetToCharactersInString(char[] string,

 ParagraphView instances are breakable
 along the Y_AXIS only, and only if
 len is after the first row.  If the length
 is less than one row, a value of BadBreakWeight
 is returned.

This uses size requirements of the superclass, modified to take into account the non-breakable areas at the adjacent views edges. The minimal size requirements for such views should be no less than the sum of all adjacent fragments.
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.
