Bidirectional text: disable bidi support

Enforcement of base text direction is enabled by default in JViews. JViews supports a fallback mechanism that can be used by customers who are not interested in bidi support or want to minimize the opportunities of invoking it. This mechanism disables bidi support. This mechanism does not enable dynamic control over calling bidi support at run time. Bidi support must be enabled or disabled at the start of the program and this bidi status should not change during the subsequent run time.
You can disable bidi support in one of the following ways:
  • Specify the JVM property ilog.jviews.bidi.support.on when Java is started.
    java "-Dilog.jviews.bidi.support.on=false" ...
  • At initialization of an applet (because applets cannot use JVM properties), before any graphic object is loaded, call IlvBidiUtil.setBidiSupportOn(false).
If you want to use bidi support, you have no enabling action to take, because bidi support is enabled by default in JViews.
