Perforce JViews Framework Code Example: Constrained Reshape Interactor

Description

This sample shows how to constrain the reshaping of the selected graphic object. This interactor performs differently if the selected graphic object has a constraint installed.

How to Use the Code Example

This sample does not run as an applet. See "How to Run the Sample as an Application" for information on how to start the sample.
The application displays a manager view containing graphic objects.
Click the objects and reshape them interactively.
You will hear beeps if the constraint of the selected object is not respected.

How to Run the Code Example as an Application

This code example can be run as an application. The installation directory contains an executable JAR file, constrreshapeinter.jar, that allows you to execute the code example with a double click from a file browser. Note that if you are using Internet Explorer, you can open the installation directory and execute the JAR file from the browser. This technique may not work in other Web browsers.

Alternatively, you can run the code example application from the command line. First check that the Ant utility is properly configured. If not, see the instructions on how to configure Ant for Perforce JViews.

Then, go to the installation directory of the code example and type:

ant run
