Class GraphicsPlotCanvas

java.lang.Object
  jcckit.plot.PlotCanvas
      jcckit.GraphicsPlotCanvas

All Implemented Interfaces:

PlotListener

public class GraphicsPlotCanvas
extends PlotCanvas

Class which handles plotting into a Graphics context based on the jcckit.renderer.GraphicsRenderer. This class is not a subclass of java.awt.Component. The actual AWT component presenting the plot is an innerclass. Its instance wrapped by GraphicsPlotCanvas can be obtained with #getGraphicsCanvas.

The plot is painted by using double-buffering and pre-rendered view of the coordinate system. That is, the coordinate system is drawn into an off-screen image. It will be redrawn only if the size of the embedding AWT component is changed.

Constructor Detail

GraphicsPlotCanvas

public GraphicsPlotCanvas(ConfigParameters config,
                          BufferedImage img3)

Creates an instance from the specified configuration parameters.

Key & Default Value	Type	Mandatory	Description
background = default background color of the wrapped AWT component	Color	no	Background color of the wrapped AWT component.
foreground = default foreground color of the wrapped AWT component	Color	no	Foreground color of the wrapped AWT component.
doubleBuffering = true	boolean	no	If true the plot will be painted by using double-buffering and pre-rendered view of the coordinate system.

In addition the configuration parameters of the constructor of the superclass PlotCanvas apply.

Method Detail

paint

public void paint()

Paints the plot. If GraphicsPlotCanvas#_doubleBuffering is set double-buffering and pre-rendered view of the coordinate system is used.

prepare

protected void prepare()

Prepare graphics context before drawing the pre-rendered view of the coordinate system. Does nothing but will be used in subclasses.

calculateTransformation

protected void calculateTransformation(Dimension size)

Calculate the transformation form device-independent coordinates into device-dependent coordinates according to the specified canvas size.

createRenderer

protected Renderer createRenderer()

Creates an appropriated Renderer for the specified Graphics context.

setRenderer

public void setRenderer(String className)

Sets the renderer used to render the plot. The default value is GraphicsRenderer.

Parameters:

className - Fully qualified name of the renderer class.

setMarker

public void setMarker(GraphicalElement marker)

Defines a graphical marker which will be drawn on top of the plot. To remove the marker call this method with argument null.

Parameters:

marker - Marker element. Can be null.
