TextStyle (Java Platform SE 8 )

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<TextStyle>
- - java.time.format.TextStyle

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<TextStyle>
```
public enum TextStyle
extends Enum<TextStyle>
```
Enumeration of the style of text formatting and parsing.
Text styles define three sizes for the formatted text - 'full', 'short' and 'narrow'. Each of these three sizes is available in both 'standard' and 'stand-alone' variations.
The difference between the three sizes is obvious in most languages. For example, in English the 'full' month is 'January', the 'short' month is 'Jan' and the 'narrow' month is 'J'. Note that the narrow size is often not unique. For example, 'January', 'June' and 'July' all have the 'narrow' text 'J'.
The difference between the 'standard' and 'stand-alone' forms is trickier to describe as there is no difference in English. However, in other languages there is a difference in the word used when the text is used alone, as opposed to in a complete date. For example, the word used for a month when used alone in a date picker is different to the word used for month in association with a day and year in a date.

Implementation Requirements:

This is immutable and thread-safe enum.

    Short text for stand-alone use, typically an abbreviation. For example, day-of-week Monday might output "Mon".
  - NARROW
```
public static final TextStyle NARROW
```
    Narrow text, typically a single letter. For example, day-of-week Monday might output "M".
  - NARROW_STANDALONE
```
public static final TextStyle NARROW_STANDALONE
```
    Narrow text for stand-alone use, typically a single letter. For example, day-of-week Monday might output "M".
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static TextStyle[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (TextStyle c : TextStyle.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static TextStyle valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - isStandalone
```
public boolean isStandalone()
```
    Returns true if the Style is a stand-alone style.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the style is a stand-alone style.
  - asStandalone
```
public TextStyle asStandalone()
```
    Returns the stand-alone style with the same size.
    
    Returns:
    
    the stand-alone style with the same size
  - asNormal
```
public TextStyle asNormal()
```
    Returns the normal style with the same size.
    
    Returns:
    
    the normal style with the same size
