Constructor Detail

AbstractConnector

public AbstractConnector()

Constructs a connector that has no owner. It is only used internally to resurrect a connectors from a StorableOutput. It should never be called directly.

AbstractConnector

public AbstractConnector(Figure owner)

Constructs a connector with the given owner figure.

Method Detail

setConnectToDecorator

public void setConnectToDecorator(boolean newValue)

isConnectToDecorator

public boolean isConnectToDecorator()

contains

public boolean contains(java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double p)

Tests if a point is contained in the connector.

Specified by:

contains in interface Connector

findStart

public java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double findStart(ConnectionFigure connection)

Description copied from interface: Connector

Finds the start point for the connection.

Specified by:

findStart in interface Connector

findEnd

public java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double findEnd(ConnectionFigure connection)

Description copied from interface: Connector

Finds the end point for the connection.

Specified by:

findEnd in interface Connector

getOwner

public Figure getOwner()

Gets the connector's owner.

Specified by:

getOwner in interface Connector

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Description copied from interface: Connector

Returns a clone of the Connection.

Specified by:

clone in interface Connector

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

updateStartLocation

public void updateStartLocation(java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double p)

This is called, when the start location of the connection has been moved by the user. The user has this probably done, to adjust the layout. The connector may use this as a hint to improve the results for the next call to findEnd.

updateEndLocation

public void updateEndLocation(java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double p)

This is called, when the end location of the connection has been moved by the user. The user has this probably done, to adjust the layout. The connector may use this as a hint to improve the results for the next call to findStart.

getAnchor

public java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double getAnchor()

Description copied from interface: Connector

Gets the anchor of the connector. This is a point at the center or at the bounds of the figure, where the start or the end point will most likely be attached. The purpose of this method is to give the user a hint, where the connector will most likely be attached to the owner of the connector.

Specified by:

getAnchor in interface Connector

updateAnchor

public void updateAnchor(java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double p)

Description copied from interface: Connector

Updates the anchor of the connector. This method is called when the user manually changes the end point of the ConnectionFigure. The Connector uses this as a hint for choosing a new anchor position.

Specified by:

updateAnchor in interface Connector

getBounds

public java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.Double getBounds()

Description copied from interface: Connector

Gets the bounds of the connector. This usually are the bounds of the Figure which owns the Connector. The bounds can differ from the Figure bounds, if the Connector connects to a specific region of the Figure.

Specified by:

getBounds in interface Connector

read

public void read(DOMInput in)
          throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

read in interface DOMStorable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

write

public void write(DOMOutput out)
           throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

write in interface DOMStorable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getDrawingArea

public java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.Double getDrawingArea()

Description copied from interface: Connector

Gets the drawing area of the connector.

Specified by:

getDrawingArea in interface Connector

draw

public void draw(java.awt.Graphics2D g)

Description copied from interface: Connector

Draws the connector.

Specified by:

draw in interface Connector
