```
public class AlignmentCollector
extends java.lang.Object
```
The collector holds the total height of all elements and the baseline positions of the last element. When a new element is added, it gets added either unaligned (in respect to any baseline) or alignd to one of the baselines.

public long getHeight()

  - add
```
public long add(InlineSequenceElement sequenceElement)
```
    Adding unaligned elements increases the total height and either shifts the stored baselines upward or downwards. If a bottom aligned element is greater than the already seen content, extending the total height will require a shift of the computed last baseline by the added height. The returned position will only be valid, if the total lineheight will not change while adding nodes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    height -
    
    shiftDown -
    
    Returns:
    
    the position of the top edge of the node.
