public class ComponentView

extends View

Component decorator that implements the view interface. The entire element is used to represent the component. This acts as a gateway from the display-only View implementations to interactive lightweight components (ie it allows components to be embedded into the View hierarchy).

Constructor Summary

ComponentView(Element elem)
Creates a new ComponentView object.

Method Summary

protected Component	createComponent() Create the component that is associated with this view.
float	getAlignment(int axis) Determines the desired alignment for this view along an axis.
Component	getComponent() Fetch the component associated with the view.
float	getMaximumSpan(int axis) Determines the maximum span for this view along an axis.
float	getMinimumSpan(int axis) Determines the minimum span for this view along an axis.
float	getPreferredSpan(int axis) Determines the preferred span for this view along an axis.
Shape	modelToView(int pos, Shape a, Position.Bias b) Provides a mapping from the coordinate space of the model to that of the view.
void	paint(Graphics g, Shape a) The real paint behavior occurs naturally from the association that the component has with its parent container (the same container hosting this view).
void	setParent(View p) Sets the parent for a child view.
void	setSize(float width, float height) Sets the size of the view.
int	viewToModel(float x, float y, Shape a, Position.Bias[] bias) Provides a mapping from the view coordinate space to the logical coordinate space of the model.

Constructor Detail

ComponentView

public ComponentView(Element elem)

Creates a new ComponentView object.

Parameters:

elem - the element to decorate

Method Detail

createComponent

protected Component createComponent()

Create the component that is associated with this view. This will be called when it has been determined that a new component is needed. This would result from a call to setParent or as a result of being notified that attributes have changed.

getComponent

public final Component getComponent()

Fetch the component associated with the view.

paint

public void paint(Graphics g,
                  Shape a)

The real paint behavior occurs naturally from the association that the component has with its parent container (the same container hosting this view). This is implemented to do nothing.

Overrides:

paint in class View

Parameters:

g - the graphics context

a - the shape

See Also:

View.paint(java.awt.Graphics, java.awt.Shape)

getPreferredSpan

public float getPreferredSpan(int axis)

Determines the preferred span for this view along an axis. This is implemented to return the value returned by Component.getPreferredSize along the axis of interest.

Overrides:

getPreferredSpan in class View

Parameters:

axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - for an invalid axis

getMinimumSpan

public float getMinimumSpan(int axis)

Determines the minimum span for this view along an axis. This is implemented to return the value returned by Component.getMinimumSize along the axis of interest.

Overrides:

getMinimumSpan in class View

Parameters:

axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - for an invalid axis

getMaximumSpan

public float getMaximumSpan(int axis)

Determines the maximum span for this view along an axis. This is implemented to return the value returned by Component.getMaximumSize along the axis of interest.

Overrides:

getMaximumSpan in class View

Parameters:

axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - for an invalid axis

getAlignment

public float getAlignment(int axis)

Determines the desired alignment for this view along an axis. This is implemented to give the alignment of the embedded component.

Overrides:

getAlignment in class View

Parameters:

axis - may be either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS

setSize

public void setSize(float width,
                    float height)

Sets the size of the view. This is implemented to do nothing since the component itself will get its size established by the LayoutManager installed on the hosting Container.

Overrides:

setSize in class View

Parameters:

width - the width >= 0

height - the height >= 0

setParent

public void setParent(View p)

Sets the parent for a child view. The parent calls this on the child to tell it who its parent is, giving the view access to things like the hosting Container. The superclass behavior is executed, followed by a call to createComponent if a component has not yet been created and the embedded components parent is set to the value returned by getContainer.

The changing of the component hierarhcy will touch the component lock, which is the one thing that is not safe from the View hierarchy. Therefore, this functionality is executed immediately if on the event thread, or is queued on the event queue if called from another thread (notification of change from an asynchronous update).

Overrides:

setParent in class View

Parameters:

p - the parent

modelToView

public Shape modelToView(int pos,
                         Shape a,
                         Position.Bias b)
                  throws BadLocationException

Provides a mapping from the coordinate space of the model to that of the view.

Overrides:

modelToView in class View

Parameters:

pos - the position to convert >= 0

a - the allocated region to render into

Returns:

the bounding box of the given position is returned

Throws:

BadLocationException - if the given position does not represent a valid location in the associated document

See Also:

View.modelToView(int, java.awt.Shape, javax.swing.text.Position.Bias)

viewToModel

public int viewToModel(float x,
                       float y,
                       Shape a,
                       Position.Bias[] bias)

Provides a mapping from the view coordinate space to the logical coordinate space of the model.

Overrides:

viewToModel in class View

Parameters:

x - the X coordinate >= 0

y - the Y coordinate >= 0

a - the allocated region to render into

Returns:

the location within the model that best represents the given point in the view

View.viewToModel(float, float, java.awt.Shape, javax.swing.text.Position.Bias[])
