/**
 * @name BIDI algorithm for ICU
 *
 * <h2>BIDI algorithm for ICU</h2>
 *
 * This is an implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional algorithm.
 * The algorithm is defined in the
 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr9/">Unicode Technical Report 9</a>,
 * version 5, also described in The Unicode Standard, Version 3.0 .<p>
 *
 * <h3>General remarks about the API:</h3>
 *
 * In functions with an error code parameter,
 * the <code>pErrorCode</code> pointer must be valid
 * and the value that it points to must not indicate a failure before
 * the function call. Otherwise, the function returns immediately.
 * After the function call, the value indicates success or failure.<p>
 *
 * The <quote>limit</quote> of a sequence of characters is the position just after their
 * last character, i.e., one more than that position.<p>
 *
 * Some of the API functions provide access to <quote>runs</quote>.
 * Such a <quote>run</quote> is defined as a sequence of characters
 * that are at the same embedding level
 * after performing the BIDI algorithm.<p>
 *
 * @author Markus W. Scherer

 *
 * This function takes a single plain text paragraph with or without
 * externally specified embedding levels from <quote>styled</quote> text
 * and computes the left-right-directionality of each character.<p>
 *
 * If the entire paragraph consists of text of only one direction, then
 * the function may not perform all the steps described by the algorithm,
 * i.e., some levels may not be the same as if all steps were performed.
 * This is not relevant for unidirectional text.<br>
 * For example, in pure LTR text with numbers the numbers would get
 * a resolved level of 2 higher than the surrounding text according to
 * the algorithm. This implementation may set all resolved levels to
 * the same value in such a case.<p>
 *
 * The text must be externally split into separate paragraphs (rule P1).
 * Paragraph separators (B) should appear at most at the very end.

 *        (step (P1) of the algorithm is performed externally).

 *
 * @param length is the length of the text; if <code>length==-1</code> then
 *        the text must be zero-terminated.
 *
 * @param paraLevel specifies the default level for the paragraph;
 *        it is typically 0 (LTR) or 1 (RTL).
 *        If the function shall determine the paragraph level from the text,
 *        then <code>paraLevel</code> can be set to
 *        either <code>UBIDI_DEFAULT_LTR</code>
 *        or <code>UBIDI_DEFAULT_RTL</code>;
 *        if there is no strongly typed character, then
 *        the desired default is used (0 for LTR or 1 for RTL).
 *        Any other value between 0 and <code>UBIDI_MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL</code> is also valid,
 *        with odd levels indicating RTL.
 *
 * @param embeddingLevels (in) may be used to preset the embedding and override levels,
 *        ignoring characters like LRE and PDF in the text.
 *        A level overrides the directional property of its corresponding
 *        (same index) character if the level has the
 *        <code>UBIDI_LEVEL_OVERRIDE</code> bit set.<p>
 *        Except for that bit, it must be
 *        <code>paraLevel&lt;=embeddingLevels[]&lt;=UBIDI_MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL</code>.<p>
 *        <strong>Caution: </strong>A copy of this pointer, not of the levels,
 *        will be stored in the <code>UBiDi</code> object;
 *        the <code>embeddingLevels</code> array must not be

 *        and the <code>embeddingLevels</code>
 *        should not be modified to avoid unexpected results on subsequent BiDi operations.
 *        However, the <code>ubidi_setPara()</code> and
 *        <code>ubidi_setLine()</code> functions may modify some or all of the levels.<p>
 *        After the <code>UBiDi</code> object is reused or destroyed, the caller
 *        must take care of the deallocation of the <code>embeddingLevels</code> array.<p>

 *
 * @param length is the number of levels in the array, or, semantically,

 *        It must be <code>length&gt;0</code>.
 *
 * @param indexMap is a pointer to an array of <code>length</code>
 *        indexes which will reflect the reordering of the characters.
 *        The array does not need to be initialized.<p>
 *        The index map will result in <code>indexMap[visualIndex]==logicalIndex</code>.

/**
 * @name Sample code for the ICU BIDI API
 *
 * <h2>Rendering a paragraph with the ICU BiDi API</h2>
 *
 * This is (hypothetical) sample code that illustrates
 * how the ICU BiDi API could be used to render a paragraph of text.
 * Rendering code depends highly on the graphics system,
 * therefore this sample code must make a lot of assumptions,
 * which may or may not match any existing graphics system's properties.
 *
 * <p>The basic assumptions are:</p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Rendering is done from left to right on a horizontal line.</li>
 * <li>A run of single-style, unidirectional text can be rendered at once.</li>
 * <li>Such a run of text is passed to the graphics system with
 *     characters (code units) in logical order.</li>
 * <li>The line-breaking algorithm is very complicated
 *     and Locale-dependent -
 *     and therefore its implementation omitted from this sample code.</li>
 * </ul>
