CodeWriter (Jenesis 4 Java Code Generator 2.19 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

MCodeWriter
```
public interface CodeWriter
```
The CodeWriter is the object to which code is rendered. All methods that add content to the CodeWriter should return the same object passed to them though the toCode() method. This supports a coding style analogous to the StringBuffer class.

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`CodeWriter`	`dedentLine()` Decrements the tab and makes sure, a new line is started.
`CodeWriter`	`ensureNewLine()` Starts a new line, if characters are present on the current line.
`int`	`getColumnNumber()` Returns the current number of characters in the current line.
`CompilationUnit`	`getCompilationUnit()` gets the context compilation unit.
`int`	`getIndentNumber()` Returns the current number of indentation levels.
`int`	`getLineNumber()` Returns the number of lines of the current document.
`CodeWriter`	`indentLine()` Increments the tab and ensures that current line is empty.
`boolean`	`isLineNew()` Returns true if no characters have been written since the last call of newLine().
`CodeWriter`	`newLine()` Adds a the newLine string according to `System.getProperty("line.separator")` and the line is padded with the n tab characters where n is the number returned by `getIndentNumber()`.
`CodeWriter`	`queue(Comment comment)` This method allows those codeable objects to inject a comment without interrupting the line-by-line code itself.
`CodeWriter`	`resetLine()` Resets the tab counter to zero and calls the newLine() method.
`void`	`setCompilationUnit(CompilationUnit mCompilationUnit)` sets the context compilation unit.
`CodeWriter`	`space()` Writes a single space.
`CodeWriter`	`write(boolean b)` Writes a boolean.
`CodeWriter`	`write(char c)` Writes a single character.
`CodeWriter`	`write(char[] chars)` Writes an array of characters.
`CodeWriter`	`write(char[] chars, int off, int len)` Writes an array of characters starting at the offset with total length len.
`CodeWriter`	`write(Codeable codeable)` Instead of calling the `Object.toString()` method, the `Object.toCode(CodeWriter)` method is invoked with `this` as the argument.
`CodeWriter`	`write(Codeable[] codeables)` Iterates the array and sends each element to `write(Codeable)` .
`CodeWriter`	`write(double d)` Writes a double.
`CodeWriter`	`write(float f)` Writes a float.
`CodeWriter`	`write(int i)` Writes an integer.
`CodeWriter`	`write(List<? extends Codeable> codeables)` Iterates the array and sends each element to `write(Codeable)` .
`CodeWriter`	`write(Object o)` Writes an object.
`CodeWriter`	`write(String s)` Writes a string.

- Method Detail
  - dedentLine
```
CodeWriter dedentLine()
```
    Decrements the tab and makes sure, a new line is started.
  - getColumnNumber
```
int getColumnNumber()
```
    Returns the current number of characters in the current line. It does not take the indent into account. Therefore, only the write methods and the space method increment the column counter.
  - getCompilationUnit
```
CompilationUnit getCompilationUnit()
```
    gets the context compilation unit.
  - getIndentNumber
```
int getIndentNumber()
```
    Returns the current number of indentation levels.
  - getLineNumber
```
int getLineNumber()
```
    Returns the number of lines of the current document.
  - indentLine
```
CodeWriter indentLine()
```
    Increments the tab and ensures that current line is empty.
  - isLineNew
```
boolean isLineNew()
```
    Returns true if no characters have been written since the last call of newLine().
  - ensureNewLine
```
CodeWriter ensureNewLine()
```
    Starts a new line, if characters are present on the current line.
  - newLine
```
CodeWriter newLine()
```
    Adds a the newLine string according to System.getProperty("line.separator") and the line is padded with the n tab characters where n is the number returned by getIndentNumber().
  - queue
```
CodeWriter queue(Comment comment)
```
    This method allows those codeable objects to inject a comment without interrupting the line-by-line code itself. For example, if an expression wants to express a comment, it cannot do it until the end of the line. Before the newline is called, all comments given to the code writer will be written.
  - resetLine
```
CodeWriter resetLine()
```
    Resets the tab counter to zero and calls the newLine() method.
  - setCompilationUnit
```
void setCompilationUnit(CompilationUnit mCompilationUnit)
```
    sets the context compilation unit.
  - space
```
CodeWriter space()
```
    Writes a single space.
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(boolean b)
```
    Writes a boolean.
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(char c)
```
    Writes a single character.
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(char[] chars)
```
    Writes an array of characters.
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(char[] chars,
               int off,
               int len)
```
    Writes an array of characters starting at the offset with total length len.
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(Codeable codeable)
```
    Instead of calling the Object.toString() method, the Object.toCode(CodeWriter) method is invoked with this as the argument.
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(Codeable[] codeables)
```
    Iterates the array and sends each element to write(Codeable) .
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(double d)
```
    Writes a double.
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(float f)
```
    Writes a float.
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(int i)
```
    Writes an integer.
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(List<? extends Codeable> codeables)
```
    Iterates the array and sends each element to write(Codeable) .
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(Object o)
```
    Writes an object.
  - write
```
CodeWriter write(String s)
```
    Writes a string.
