public class BoxView

extends CompositeView

A view that arranges its children into a box shape by tiling it's children along an axis. The box is somewhat like that found in TeX where there is alignment of the children, flexibility of the children is considered, etc. This is considered an useful building block that might be useful to represent things like a collection of lines, paragraphs, lists, columns, pages, etc.

Constructor Detail

BoxView

public BoxView(Element elem,
               int axis)

Constructs a BoxView.

Parameters:

elem - the element this view is responsible for

axis - either View.X_AXIS or View.Y_AXIS

Method Detail

paintChild

protected void paintChild(Graphics g,
                          Rectangle alloc,
                          int index)

Paints a child. By default that is all it does, but a subclass can use this to paint things relative to the child.

Parameters:

g - the graphics context

alloc - the allocated region to paint into

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

replace

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

Invalidates the layout and resizes the cache of requests/allocations. The child allocations can still be accessed for the old layout, but the new children will have an offset and span of 0.

Overrides:

replace in class CompositeView

Parameters:

offset - the starting offset into the child views >= 0

length - the number of existing views to replace >= 0

elems - the child views to insert

preferenceChanged

                              boolean height)

This is called by a child to indicated its preferred span has changed. This is implemented to throw away cached layout information so that new calculations will be done the next time the children need an allocation.

Overrides:

preferenceChanged in class View

Parameters:

child - the child view

width - true if the width preference should change

height - true if the height preference should change

getResizeWeight

public int getResizeWeight(int axis)

Gets the resize weight. A value of 0 or less is not resizable.

Returns:

the weight

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - for an invalid axis

setSize

public void setSize(float width,
                    float height)

Sets the size of the view. If the size has changed, layout is redone. The size is the full size of the view including the inset areas.

Overrides:

setSize in class View

Parameters:

width - the width >= 0

height - the height >= 0

paint

public void paint(Graphics g,

a - the allocated region to render into

Returns:

the bounding box of the given position

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:
