public interface Graphic

extends Scalable, Positionable, Originable, Orientable, Colorable, Playable, Viewable, Selectable, Refreshable, Behavioral, Movable

This defines the interface for object that can be contained graphically within other objects. These objects can also have behavioral objects added to them which modify there behavioral patterns.

Method Summary

Graphic	Copy()
Size	GetBoxBoundedSize()
Container	GetContainer() This method should return the graphical container of the object.
GP.Drawers.FillStyle	GetFillStyle()
boolean	IsPositionInside(Position position) This methods should determine whether the position passed into it is inside the graphical boundries of the object, and return the result of that calculation.
boolean	PositionIsOnlyInsideMe(Position position) This method should determine whether the position passed into it is inside the graphical boundries of the object, but not within any of its sub-objects, and return the result of that calculation.
Size	PreferedSize()
void	SetContainer(Container container) This method sets which container the object is in.
void	SetFillStyle(GP.Drawers.FillStyle fillStyle)
void	Show(Container container) Show the graphical object in a new container

Method Detail

GetContainer

public Container GetContainer()

This method should return the graphical container of the object.

Returns:

the graphical container

PreferedSize

public Size PreferedSize()

Returns:

the prefered drawing size

IsPositionInside

public boolean IsPositionInside(Position position)

This methods should determine whether the position passed into it is inside the graphical boundries of the object, and return the result of that calculation.

Parameters:

position - the position in question

Returns:

true if the position is inside, false otherwise

PositionIsOnlyInsideMe

public boolean PositionIsOnlyInsideMe(Position position)

This method should determine whether the position passed into it is inside the graphical boundries of the object, but not within any of its sub-objects, and return the result of that calculation. This will usually be an identaical result to IsPositionInside(GP.Attributes.Position), but may differ when dealing with composite structures such as GP.MultiManagers

Parameters:

position - the position in question

Returns:

true if the position is inside this object only, false otherwise

Show

public void Show(Container container)

Show the graphical object in a new container

Parameters:

container -

SetContainer

public void SetContainer(Container container)

This method sets which container the object is in. Unlike Show(GP.Container), it does not effect the objects visibility status.

Parameters:

container - the new graphical container

GetBoxBoundedSize

public Size GetBoxBoundedSize()

Copy

public Graphic Copy()

SetFillStyle

public void SetFillStyle(GP.Drawers.FillStyle fillStyle)

GetFillStyle

public GP.Drawers.FillStyle GetFillStyle()
