> The RichTextArea control ([JDK-8301121](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8301121)), or any custom control that needs non-trivial navigation within complex or wrapped text needs a public API to get information about text layout.
> 
> This change fixes the missing functionality by adding a new public method to the `Text` and `TextFlow` classes.:
> 
> 
>     /**
>      * Obtains the snapshot of the current text layout information.
>      * @return the layout information
>      * @since 24
>      */
>     public final LayoutInfo getLayoutInfo()
> 
> 
> The immutable `LayoutInfo` structure contains information about:
> 
> - text lines: offsets and bounds
> - overall layout bounds
> 
> TBD:
> 
> the platform can also report additional information such as:
> 
> - individual text lines' left and right side bearings (what are those?)
> - text runs within each line
