CompositeView

public abstract class CompositeView extends View
CompositeView is an abstract View implementation which manages one or more child views. (Note that CompositeView is intended for managing relatively small numbers of child views.) CompositeView is intended to be used as a starting point for View implementations, such as BoxView, that will contain child Views. Subclasses that wish to manage the collection of child Views should use the {@link #replace} method. As View invokes replace during DocumentListener notification, you normally won't need to directly invoke replace.

While CompositeView does not impose a layout policy on its child Views, it does allow for inseting the child Views it will contain. The insets can be set by either {@link #setInsets} or {@link #setParagraphInsets}.

In addition to the abstract methods of {@link javax.swing.text.View}, subclasses of CompositeView will need to override:

  • {@link #isBefore} - Used to test if a given View location is before the visual space of the CompositeView.
  • {@link #isAfter} - Used to test if a given View location is after the visual space of the CompositeView.
  • {@link #getViewAtPoint} - Returns the view at a given visual location.
  • {@link #childAllocation} - Returns the bounds of a particular child View. getChildAllocation will invoke childAllocation after offseting the bounds by the Insets of the CompositeView.

Constructors Summary
public CompositeView(Element elem)
Constructs a CompositeView for the given element.

param
elem the element this view is responsible for

	super(elem);
	children = new View[1];
	nchildren = 0;
	childAlloc = new Rectangle();
    
Methods Summary
protected abstract voidchildAllocation(int index, java.awt.Rectangle a)
Returns the allocation for a given child.

param
index the index of the child, >= 0 && < getViewCount()
param
a the allocation to the interior of the box on entry, and the allocation of the child view at the index on exit.

protected booleanflipEastAndWestAtEnds(int position, javax.swing.text.Position$Bias bias)
Determines in which direction the next view lays. Consider the View at index n. Typically the Views are layed out from left to right, so that the View to the EAST will be at index n + 1, and the View to the WEST will be at index n - 1. In certain situations, such as with bidirectional text, it is possible that the View to EAST is not at index n + 1, but rather at index n - 1, or that the View to the WEST is not at index n - 1, but index n + 1. In this case this method would return true, indicating the Views are layed out in descending order.

This unconditionally returns false, subclasses should override this method if there is the possibility for laying Views in descending order.

param
position position into the model
param
bias either Position.Bias.Forward or Position.Bias.Backward
return
false

	return false;
    
protected shortgetBottomInset()
Gets the bottom inset.

return
the inset >= 0

	return bottom;
    
public java.awt.ShapegetChildAllocation(int index, java.awt.Shape a)
Fetches the allocation for the given child view to render into. This enables finding out where various views are located.

param
index the index of the child, >= 0 && < getViewCount()
param
a the allocation to this view
return
the allocation to the child

	Rectangle alloc = getInsideAllocation(a);
	childAllocation(index, alloc);
	return alloc;
    
protected java.awt.RectanglegetInsideAllocation(java.awt.Shape a)
Translates the immutable allocation given to the view to a mutable allocation that represents the interior allocation (i.e. the bounds of the given allocation with the top, left, bottom, and right insets removed. It is expected that the returned value would be further mutated to represent an allocation to a child view. This is implemented to reuse an instance variable so it avoids creating excessive Rectangles. Typically the result of calling this method would be fed to the childAllocation method.

param
a the allocation given to the view
return
the allocation that represents the inside of the view after the margins have all been removed; if the given allocation was null, the return value is null

	if (a != null) {
	    // get the bounds, hopefully without allocating
	    // a new rectangle.  The Shape argument should 
	    // not be modified... we copy it into the
	    // child allocation.
	    Rectangle alloc;
	    if (a instanceof Rectangle) {
		alloc = (Rectangle) a;
	    } else {
		alloc = a.getBounds();
	    }

	    childAlloc.setBounds(alloc);
	    childAlloc.x += getLeftInset();
	    childAlloc.y += getTopInset();
	    childAlloc.width -= getLeftInset() + getRightInset();
	    childAlloc.height -= getTopInset() + getBottomInset();
	    return childAlloc;
	}
	return null;
    
protected shortgetLeftInset()
Gets the left inset.

return
the inset >= 0

	return left;
    
protected intgetNextEastWestVisualPositionFrom(int pos, javax.swing.text.Position$Bias b, java.awt.Shape a, int direction, javax.swing.text.Position$Bias[] biasRet)
Returns the next visual position for the cursor, in either the east or west direction.

param
pos the position to convert >= 0
param
b a bias value of either Position.Bias.Forward or Position.Bias.Backward

direction the direction from the current position that can be thought of as the arrow keys typically found on a keyboard; this may be one of the following:

public intgetNextVisualPositionFrom(int pos, javax.swing.text.Position$Bias b, java.awt.Shape a, int direction, javax.swing.text.Position$Bias[] biasRet)
Provides a way to determine the next visually represented model location that one might place a caret. Some views may not be visible, they might not be in the same order found in the model, or they just might not allow access to some of the locations in the model.

return
true if the point is before the specified range

protected voidloadChildren(javax.swing.text.ViewFactory f)
Loads all of the children to initialize the view. This is called by the {@link #setParent} method. Subclasses can reimplement this to initialize their child views in a different manner. The default implementation creates a child view for each child element.

public voidreplace(int offset, int length, javax.swing.text.View[] views)
Replaces child views. If there are no views to remove this acts as an insert. If there are no views to add this acts as a remove. Views being removed will have the parent set to null, and the internal reference to them removed so that they may be garbage collected.

param
offset the starting index into the child views to insert the new views; >= 0 and <= getViewCount
param
length the number of existing child views to remove; this should be a value >= 0 and <= (getViewCount() - offset)
param
views the child views to add; this value can be null to indicate no children are being added (useful to remove)

Sets the insets for the view.

Sets the insets from the paragraph attributes specified in the given attributes.

param
attr the attributes

	// a pixel is equal to a point, we just cast the point
	// sizes to integers.

public voidsetParent(javax.swing.text.View parent)
Sets the parent of the view. This is reimplemented to provide the superclass behavior as well as calling the loadChildren method if this view does not already have children. The children should not be loaded in the constructor because the act of setting the parent may cause them to try to search up the hierarchy (to get the hosting Container for example). If this view has children (the view is being moved from one place in the view hierarchy to another), the loadChildren method will not be called.

param
parent the parent of the view, null if none

	    loadChildren(f);
