*protected*

**Parameters**

- `disposing` (`Boolean`)

**Returns:** `synchronized void`

### delete

```java
synchronized void com.datalogics.PDFL.TextState.delete()
```

**Returns:** `synchronized void`

### finalize

```java
void com.datalogics.PDFL.TextState.finalize()

### getWordSpacing

```java
double com.datalogics.PDFL.TextState.getWordSpacing()
```

**Returns:** `double`

The current word spacing (corresponding to the Tw operator), in unscaled text space units.

### setCharacterSpacing

void com.datalogics.PDFL.TextState.setFontSize(double Tf)
```

**Parameters**

- `Tf` (`double`): the new/updated font size

**Returns:** `void`

The current font size (corresponding to the Tf operator).

### setHScale

```java
void com.datalogics.PDFL.TextState.setHScale(double Tz)
```

**Parameters**

- `Tz` (`double`): the new/updated horizontal scaling

**Returns:** `void`

The current horizontal scaling (corresponding to the Tz operator), as a percentage of the normal glyph width. Default is 100.

```

**Parameters**

- `Tw` (`double`): the new/updated character spacing

**Returns:** `void`

The current word spacing (corresponding to the Tw operator), in unscaled text space units.
