All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:

BoxView

public abstract class CompositeView

extends View

A view that is composed of other views (has children). As a container of children, the composite view needs to provide:

services to manage the collection of children

The following methods can be used to manage the collection.

• removeAll
• insert
• append
• replace
• getViewCount
• getView
• loadChildren

layout of the children

This class does not implement a layout policy as it is abstract. A subclass will determine how the children are laid out by implementing the setSize method to position the children when the size has been changed.

paint the children

This class does not attempt to paint the children. Subclasses will want to use the layout information and call paint on the children that are visible (intersect the clipping region) with the Shape argument set to the location of the child view.

propagation of DocumentEvent information to the appropriate children.

propagation of model/view translation to the proper child.

Constructor Detail

CompositeView

public CompositeView(Element elem)

Constructs a CompositeView for the given element.

Parameters:

elem - the element this view is responsible for

Method Detail

loadChildren

protected void loadChildren(ViewFactory f)

Loads all of the children to initialize the view. This is called by the setParent method. Subclasses can reimplement this to initialize their child views in a different manner. The default implementation creates a child view for each child element.

Parameters:

f - the view factory

See Also:

setParent(javax.swing.text.View)

setParent

public void setParent(View parent)

Sets the parent of the view. This is reimplemented to provide the superclass behavior as well as calling the loadChildren method if this view does not already have children. The children should not be loaded in the constructor because the act of setting the parent may cause them to try to search up the hierarchy (to get the hosting Container for example). If this view has children (the view is being moved from one place in the view hierarchy to another), the loadChildren method will not be called.

Overrides:

setParent in class View

Parameters:

parent - the parent of the view, null if none

getViewCount

public int getViewCount()

Returns the number of child views of this view.

Overrides:

getViewCount in class View

Returns:

the number of views >= 0

See Also:

getView(int)

getView

public View getView(int n)

Gets the n-th view in this container.

Overrides:

getView in class View

Parameters:

n - the number of the view to get, >= 0 && < getViewCount()

Returns:

the view

replace

public void replace(int offset,
                    int length,
                    View[] views)

Replace child views. If there are no views to remove this acts as an insert. If there are no views to add this acts as a remove. Views being removed will have the parent set to null, and the internal reference to them removed so that they can be garbage collected.

Overrides:

replace in class View

Parameters:

index - the starting index into the child views to insert the new views. This should be a value >= 0 and <= getViewCount.

length - the number of existing child views to remove. This should be a value >= 0 and <= (getViewCount() - offset).

views - the child views to add. This value can be null to indicate no children are being added (useful to remove).

getChildAllocation

public Shape getChildAllocation(int index,
                                Shape a)

Fetches the allocation for the given child view. This enables finding out where various views are located.

Overrides:

getChildAllocation in class View

Parameters:

index - the index of the child, >= 0 && < getViewCount()

a - the allocation to this view.

Returns:

the allocation to the child

modelToView

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

Provides a mapping from the document model coordinate space to the coordinate space of the view mapped to it.

Overrides:

modelToView in class View

Parameters:

Returns:

the bounding box of the given position

Throws:

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

                         Shape a)
                  throws BadLocationException

Provides a mapping from the document model coordinate space to the coordinate space of the view mapped to it.

Overrides:

modelToView in class View

Parameters:

pos - the position to convert >= 0

Returns:

true if the point is after the specified range

getViewAtPoint

protected abstract View getViewAtPoint(int x,

Fetches the child view at the given point.

Parameters:

x - the X coordinate >= 0

y - the Y coordinate >= 0

alloc - the parent's allocation on entry, which should be changed to the child's allocation on exit

Returns:

the child view

childAllocation

protected abstract void childAllocation(int index,
                                        Rectangle a)

Returns the allocation for a given child.

Parameters:

index - the index of the child, >= 0 && < getViewCount()

a - the allocation to the interior of the box on entry, and the allocation of the child view at the index on exit.

getViewAtPosition

protected View getViewAtPosition(int pos,
                                 Rectangle a)

Fetches the child view that represents the given position in the model. This is implemented to fetch the view in the case where there is a child view for each child element.

Parameters:

pos - the position >= 0

a - the allocation to the interior of the box on entry, and the allocation of the view containing the position on exit

getViewIndexAtPosition

protected int getViewIndexAtPosition(int pos)

Fetches the child view index representing the given position in the model. This is implemented to fetch the view in the case where there is a child view for each child element.

Parameters:

getInsideAllocation

protected Rectangle getInsideAllocation(Shape a)

Translates the immutable allocation given to the view to a mutable allocation that represents the interior allocation (i.e. the bounds of the given allocation with the top, left, bottom, and right insets removed. It is expected that the returned value would be further mutated to represent an allocation to a child view. This is implemented to reuse an instance variable so it avoids creating excessive Rectangles. Typically the result of calling this method would be fed to the childAllocation method.

Parameters:

a - The allocation given to the view.

Returns the next visual position for the cursor, in either the east or west direction.

Returns:

next position west of the passed in position.

getNextEastWestVisualPositionFrom

protected int getNextEastWestVisualPositionFrom(int pos,
                                                Position.Bias b,

                                         throws BadLocationException

Returns the next visual position for the cursor, in either the east or west direction.

Returns:

next position west of the passed in position.

flipEastAndWestAtEnds

protected boolean flipEastAndWestAtEnds(int position,
                                        Position.Bias bias)

Subclasses may wish to subclass this and conditionally return true based on the position. A return value of true indicates that when a View returns -1 from getNextVisualPositionFrom the next view for east should be the current index offset by -1, and for west it means offset by 1. The normal direction (for left to right text) is to offset east by 1 and west by -1.

Returns:

false
