public class GraphText

extends GraphUnit

data

Container for the text represented by this GraphText Object

fontsize

A representation of the fonsize relatively.

GraphText(int, int, Color)

Creates a instance with the fontsize defaulted to NORMAL

GraphText(int, int, int, Color)

Creates a instance

GraphText(int, int, Color, String)

Creates a instance

GraphText(int, int, int, Color, String)

Creates a instance

GraphText(DataInputStream)

Creates an instance by reading data from the Stream.

addnext(int, int)

AddNext Not used here

addnext(String)

AddNext

addnext(char)

AddNext

basedepacketize(DataInputStream)

Helper method that forces the data from the stream to be read into the byte array and extracts the data from the byte array to the variables.

basepacketize(DataOutputStream)

Helper method that packs all the data of the base class variables.

erase(Graphics, Color)

Actually this is no different from painting, except that it uses the back ground color and paints it in the XOR mode

isInside(int, int)

method to verify if the passed point is enclosed in the handles of this Object.

isValid()

isValid is very useful in determine'g miscellaneous objects at the time of creation.

packetize(DataOutputStream)

Packetizes all the information required to create an instance of this and writes it to the stream calls basepacketize to packetize the base class variables and the packs variables of this and then sync's the data to the stream.

paint(Graphics)

the Heart of rendering.

  protected StringBuffer data

Container for the text represented by this GraphText Object

  protected int fontsize

A representation of the fonsize relatively. Question of the the existance of absolute fontsize on a specific platform is unanswered defaults to NORMAL (in this implementation to 14pt)

  public GraphText(int x,
                   int y,
                   Color arg)

arg - the Color of this text

chardata - the String

  public GraphText(DataInputStream din) throws IOException

Creates an instance by reading data from the Stream.

Throws: IOException

if reading the stream fails

  protected void basedepacketize(DataInputStream din) throws IOException

Helper method that forces the data from the stream to be read into the byte array and extracts the data from the byte array to the variables.

Parameters:

din - the DataInputStream from which data is read

Throws: IOException

if an I/O error has occurred.

Overrides:

basedepacketize in class GraphUnit

  protected void basepacketize(DataOutputStream dos) throws IOException

Helper method that packs all the data of the base class variables. into a byte array (BytePackOutputStream)

Parameters:

dos - the DataOutputStream from into which data is written

Throws: IOException

if an I/O error has occurred.

Overrides:

basepacketize in class GraphUnit

  public void packetize(DataOutputStream dos) throws IOException

Packetizes all the information required to create an instance of this and writes it to the stream calls basepacketize to packetize the base class variables and the packs variables of this and then sync's the data to the stream. This method enables data to be written in blocks.

Parameters:

dos - the DataOutputStream from into which data is written

Throws: IOException

if an I/O error has occurred.

Overrides:

packetize in class GraphUnit

  public void addnext(int x,
                      int y)

AddNext Not used here

Parameters:

x - the x-coordinate

y - the y-coordinate

Overrides:

addnext in class GraphUnit

  public void addnext(String chardata)

AddNext

Parameters:

chardata - the string that is to be appended to the existing text

Overrides:

addnext in class GraphUnit

  public void addnext(char x)

AddNext

Parameters:

x - the char that is appended to the existing text

Overrides:

addnext in class GraphUnit

  public void paint(Graphics g)

the Heart of rendering. It is called to update/paint the canvas set the graphics appropriately with the font, color etc.

Parameters:

g - Graphics on to which this is rendered

Overrides:

paint in class GraphUnit

  public void erase(Graphics g,
                    Color arg)

Actually this is no different from painting, except that it uses the back ground color and paints it in the XOR mode

Parameters:

g - Graphics on to which this is rendered

arg - Color the background

Overrides:

erase in class GraphUnit

  public boolean isValid()

isValid is very useful in determine'g miscellaneous objects at the time of creation.

Overrides:

isValid in class GraphUnit

  public boolean isInside(int x,
                          int y)

method to verify if the passed point is enclosed in the handles of this Object.

Parameters:

x - x-coordinate of the point
