public class TextAreaEditingTool
extends AbstractTool
implements java.awt.event.ActionListener

A tool to edit existing figures that implement the TextHolderFigure interface, such as TextAreaFigure.

To edit an existing text figure using the TextAreaEditingTool, the user does the following mouse gesture on a DrawingView:

1. Press the mouse button over a Figure on the DrawingView.

The TextAreaEditingTool then uses Figure.findFigureInside to find a Figure that implements the TextHolderFigure interface and that is editable. Then it overlays a text area over the drawing where the user can enter the text for the Figure.

Design Patterns

Framework
The text creation and editing tools and the TextHolderFigure interface define together the contracts of a smaller framework inside of the JHotDraw framework for structured drawing editors.
Contract: TextHolderFigure, TextCreationTool, TextAreaCreationTool, TextEditingTool, TextAreaEditingTool, FloatingTextField, FloatingTextArea.
