Direct Known Subclasses:

public class IlvGraphicPath
extends IlvGraphic

An IlvGraphicPath object is a set of polypoints that can be drawn as a polyline or a polygon.

Overview

The way in which an IlvGraphicPath is presented depends on the DrawRule attribute. This attribute is set to one of the following properties:

• STROKE_ONLY - the polypoints in this object are drawn as polylines, that is, only the stroke is painted.
• FILL_ONLY - the object is drawn as a filled polygon, only the fill is painted.
• STROKE_AND_FILL - the object is drawn as a filled polygon with an outline, both the fill and stroke are painted.

The stroke color is set by calling setForeground, the fill color by calling setBackground.

The main differences between an IlvGraphicPath object and a set of IlvPolygon objects are that for IlvGraphicPath:

• The same resources are used to draw all the polypoints.
• In FILL_ONLY and STROKE_AND_FILL mode, each polypoint has an influence on the rendering of the other polypoints: depending on the position of its points, a polypoint can either appear as an ordinary polygon or as a hole in another polygon.

The default values for an IlvGraphicPath instance are as follows:

• Foreground: Color.black
• Background: Color.black
• DrawRule: STROKE_ONLY

Example

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

  IlvPoint[] outer = new IlvPoint[5];
  outer[0] = new IlvPoint(5, 5);
  outer[1] = new IlvPoint(60, 5);
  outer[2] = new IlvPoint(60, 60);
  outer[3] = new IlvPoint(5, 60);
  outer[4] = new IlvPoint(5, 5);
  
  IlvPoint[] inner = new IlvPoint[5];
  inner[0] = new IlvPoint(10, 10);
  inner[1] = new IlvPoint(55, 10);
  inner[2] = new IlvPoint(55, 55);
  inner[3] = new IlvPoint(10, 55);
  inner[4] = new IlvPoint(10, 10);
  
  IlvPointArray[] squares = new IlvPointArray[2];
  squares[0] = new IlvPointArray(outer, true);
  squares[1] = new IlvPointArray(inner, true);
  
  IlvGraphicPath sketch = new IlvGraphicPath(squares, true);
  
  sketch.setFillOn(true);
  sketch.setBackground(Color.green);
  sketch.setForeground(Color.red);
  sketch.setDrawRule(IlvGraphicPath.STROKE_AND_FILL);
  
  // Add the graphic object to the manager.
  manager.addObject(sketch,true);

About Graphic Objects

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

Constructor Detail

IlvGraphicPath

public IlvGraphicPath(IlvPoint[] points,
                      boolean copy)

Creates an IlvGraphicPath containing only one polypoint.

Parameters:

points - The array of points of the polypoint.

copy - If true, the array of points and the points are copied before being used by the class. If false, the array is internally stored in the object and you must not use the array anymore.

IlvGraphicPath

public IlvGraphicPath(IlvPointArray[] paths,
                      boolean copy)

Creates an IlvGraphicPath containing several polypoints.

Parameters:

paths - The array of polypoints.

copy - If true, the array of polypoints is copied before being used by the class. If false, the array is internally stored in the object and you must not use the array anymore.

IlvGraphicPath

public IlvGraphicPath(IlvGraphicPath source)

Creates a new IlvGraphicPath by copying an existing one.

Parameters:

source - The copied object.

IlvGraphicPath

public IlvGraphicPath(IlvInputStream stream)
               throws IlvReadFileException

Reads the object from an IlvInputStream.

Parameters:

stream - The input stream.

Throws:

IlvReadFileException - if the format is not correct.

Method Detail

copy

public IlvGraphic copy()

Copies the object. This method copies the object by calling the copy constructor.

Specified by:

copy in class IlvGraphic

Returns:

a copy of the object.

See Also:

IlvGraphic

setDrawRule

public void setDrawRule(int val)

Changes the DrawRule of the object.

Parameters:

val - Valid values for this parameter are :

STROKE_ONLY, where each polypoint is displayed as a polyline using the foreground color.

FILL_ONLY, where each polypoint is displayed as a filled polygon using the background color.

STROKE_AND_FILL, where each polypoint is displayed as a filled polygon with an outline polyline.

getDrawRule()

getDrawRule

public int getDrawRule()

Returns the DrawRule of the object. The return value is one of STROKE_ONLY, FILL_ONLY or STROKE_AND_FILL.

See Also:

setDrawRule(int)

getNumPaths

public int getNumPaths()

Returns the number of IlvPointArray managed by this object.

setPaths

public void setPaths(IlvPoint[] points,
                     boolean copy)

Sets the paths.

Note that changing the paths may change the bounding rectangle. For this reason, if the object is contained inside a manager you should modify the paths using the method IlvManager.applyToObject(IlvGraphic, IlvApplyObject, Object, boolean) of the manager containing the object.

Parameters:

points - The array of points of the polypoint.

copy - If true, the array of points and the points are copied before being used by the class. If false, the array is internally stored in the object and you must not use the array anymore.

Since:

JViews 8.1

See Also:

setPaths(IlvPointArray[], boolean), getPaths()

setPaths

public void setPaths(IlvPointArray[] paths,
                     boolean copy)

Sets the paths.

Note that changing the paths may change the bounding rectangle. For this reason, if the object is contained inside a manager you should modify the paths using the method IlvManager.applyToObject(IlvGraphic, IlvApplyObject, Object, boolean) of the manager containing the object.

Parameters:

paths - The array of polypoints.

copy - If true, the array of polypoints is copied before being used by the class. If false, the array is internally stored in the object and you must not use the array anymore.

Since:

JViews 8.1

See Also:

setPaths(IlvPoint[], boolean), getPaths()

getPaths

public IlvPointArray[] getPaths()

Returns the array of IlvPointArray managed by this object. Note that this method returns the internal array managed by this object, so you should not modify the array.

See Also:

setPaths(IlvPoint[], boolean), setPaths(IlvPointArray[], boolean)

contains

public boolean contains(IlvPoint p,
                        IlvPoint tp,
                        IlvTransformer t)

Tests if a point lies within the shape of the object.

Overrides:

contains in class IlvGraphic

Parameters:

p - The point to be tested.

tp - The point p transformed by the transformer t.

t - The transformation that was applied to the object when it was drawn.

Returns:

true if the point lies inside this graphic object.

IlvGraphic

getIntersectionWithOutline

public IlvPoint getIntersectionWithOutline(IlvPoint innerPoint,
                                           IlvPoint outerPoint,
                                           IlvTransformer t)

Returns the intersection of the line segment from inner point to outer point with the shape of the graphic object. This method is used to clip links against the shape of the node. The implementation of this method must be robust with respect to the input points: Even if innerPoint is not inside the graphic object, or if outerPoint is not outside the graphic object, it must return a valid point. For instance, if there is no intersection, it can return the start point.

Overrides:

getIntersectionWithOutline in class IlvGraphic

Parameters:

innerPoint - A point usually inside the graphic object, given in manager view coordinates.

outerPoint - A point usually outside of the graphic object, given in manager view coordinates.

t - The transformation used to draw the object.

JViews 8.1

write

public void write(IlvOutputStream stream)
