public class IlvCompositeLink
extends IlvPolylineLinkImage
implements IlvGraphicBag, IlvComposite

IlvCompositeLink represents a link between two nodes that can be decorated with IlvGraphic instances. This class uses an IlvLinkImage instance variable for link rendering. For more information about specialized link graphic objects, see IlvLinkImage.

If the IlvCompositeLink has a rendering link (see getLink()), all rendering values such as color, line width, end cap and line join are controlled by the rendering link.

Example

The following code example shows how to use an IlvCompositeLink in a simple Java application:

   IlvGrapher grapher = new IlvGrapher();
   IlvRectangle origin = new IlvReliefRectangle(new IlvRect(10, 10, 40, 40));
   origin.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
   IlvRectangle dest = new IlvReliefRectangle(new IlvRect(250, 120, 40, 40));
   dest.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
   grapher.addNode(origin, false);
   grapher.addNode(dest, false);
   
   // Creates the link responsible for the rendering
   IlvLinkImage link = new IlvDoubleLinkImage(origin, dest, false);
   IlvCompositeLink clink = new IlvCompositeLink(origin, dest, false);
   clink.setLink(link);
   clink.setLineWidth(5);
   clink.setForeground(Color.decode("#40BFBD"));
   grapher.addLink(clink, true);
   // Creates a plinth rectangle with a label
   IlvCompositeGraphic plinth = new IlvCompositeGraphic();
   plinth.setLayout(new IlvCenteredLayout(new Insets(4, 10, 4, 10)));
   
   IlvRectangle rect = new IlvReliefRectangle(new IlvRect(0, 0, 40, 40));
   rect.setBackground(Color.red);
   plinth.setChildren(0, rect);
   IlvZoomableLabel name = new IlvZoomableLabel(new IlvPoint(), "Paris", false);
   plinth.setChildren(1, name);
   
   //Adds the plinth to the link
   clink.setChildren(0, plinth);
   clink.setConstraints(0,
           new IlvAttachmentConstraint(
                   IlvAttachmentLocation.CenterPostOrderFirst,
                   IlvLinkAttachmentLocation.MiddleLink));
   
   //Creates a stack of small rectangles
   IlvCompositeGraphic stacker = new IlvCompositeGraphic();
   stacker.setLayout(new IlvStackerLayout());
   
   // Creates a tiny blue rectangle
   IlvRectangle r1 = new IlvRectangle(new IlvRect(0, 0, 10, 10));
   r1.setBackground(Color.blue);
   r1.setForeground(Color.blue);
   r1.setFillOn(true);
   stacker.setChildren(0, r1);
   
   // Creates a tiny red rectangle
   IlvRectangle r2 = new IlvRectangle(new IlvRect(0, 0, 10, 10));
   r2.setBackground(Color.red);
   r2.setForeground(Color.red);
   r2.setFillOn(true);
   stacker.setChildren(1, r2);
   
   // Creates a tiny green rectangle
   IlvRectangle r3 = new IlvRectangle(new IlvRect(0, 0, 10, 10));
   r3.setBackground(Color.green);
   r3.setForeground(Color.green);
   r3.setFillOn(true);
   stacker.setChildren(2, r3);
   
   // Adds the stack of rectangles
   clink.setChildren(1, stacker);
   // IlvLinkAttachmentLocation.NearFromLink --> hotSpot,
   // IlvLinkAttachmentLocation.FromLink --> anchor
   clink.setConstraints(1,
           new IlvAttachmentConstraint(
                   IlvLinkAttachmentLocation.NearFromLink,
                   IlvLinkAttachmentLocation.FromLink));

About Graphic Objects

IlvCompositeLink is a custom graphic object, that is, a subclass of IlvGraphic. Graphic objects are controlled using an IlvManager instance and displayed using one or more IlvManagerView instances in a Java Swing application. For information about generic features for graphic objects, see IlvGraphic.

Since:: JViews 6.0
See Also:: IlvManager, IlvManagerView, setLink(ilog.views.IlvLinkImage), Serialized Form

  - setBaseTextDirection
```
public void setBaseTextDirection(int baseTextDirection)
```
    Changes the base direction of the text. The possible choices are:
    - IlvBidiUtil.INHERITED_DIRECTION: the base text direction is inherited from the graphic bag that contains this object. If this object is not contained in a graphic bag, the base text direction is calculated from the component orientation.
    - IlvBidiUtil.COMPONENT_DIRECTION: the base text direction is calculated from the component orientation.
    - IlvBidiUtil.LEFT_TO_RIGHT: the base text direction is left-to-right.
    - IlvBidiUtil.RIGHT_TO_LEFT: the base text direction is right-to-left.
    - IlvBidiUtil.CONTEXTUAL_DIRECTION: the base test direction is determined from the text that is displayed according to the standard Bidi algorithm, if the text contains at least one character with a strong left-to-right or right-to-left direction. If the text doesn't contain any character with a strong direction, the real text direction is determined from the current component orientation of the object.
