- Method Detail
  - addClass
```
void addClass(java.lang.String chargroup)
```
    Add a character class. A character class defines characters that are considered equivalent for the purpose of hyphenation (e.g. "aA"). It usually means to ignore case.
    
    Parameters:
    
    chargroup - character group
  - addException
```
void addException(java.lang.String word,
                  java.util.ArrayList<java.lang.Object> hyphenatedword)
```
    Add a hyphenation exception. An exception replaces the result obtained by the algorithm for cases for which this fails or the user wants to provide his own hyphenation. A hyphenatedword is a vector of alternating String's and Hyphen instances
  - addPattern
```
void addPattern(java.lang.String pattern,
                java.lang.String values)
```
    Add hyphenation patterns.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pattern - the pattern
    
    values - interletter values expressed as a string of digit characters.
