      This method is called by the assistive technology to request the value for an attribute.

      This method is commonly overridden by subclasses to implement attributes that are required for a specific role.
      If a particular attribute is not handled, the superclass implementation must be called.

      Overrides:
        `queryAccessibleAttribute` in class `SkinBase<TextArea>`
      Parameters:
        `attribute` - the requested attribute
        `parameters` - optional list of parameters
      Returns:
        the value for the requested attribute

    - #### dispose

          public void dispose()

      Called by a Skinnable when the Skin is replaced on the Skinnable. This method allows a Skin to implement any logic necessary to clean up itself after the Skin is no longer needed. It may be used to release native resources. The methods `Skin.getSkinnable()` and `Skin.getNode()` should return null following a call to dispose. Calling dispose twice has no effect.
      Specified by:
        `dispose` in interface `Skin<TextArea>`
      Overrides:
        `dispose` in class `SkinBase<TextArea>`

    - #### computeBaselineOffset

                                              double bottomInset,
                                              double leftInset)

      Calculates the baseline offset based on the first managed child. If there is no such child, returns `Node.getBaselineOffset()`.
      Overrides:
        `computeBaselineOffset` in class `SkinBase<TextArea>`
      Parameters:
        `topInset` - the pixel snapped top inset
        `rightInset` - the pixel snapped right inset
