Direct Known Subclasses:

PtolemyApplet, VergilApplet

public class BasicJApplet
extends javax.swing.JApplet

Base class for swing applets. This class provides basic management for background colors, a standardized mechanism for reporting errors and exceptions, and a minimal amount of information about the applet.

The applet parameter is:

• background: The background color, typically given as a hex number of the form "#rrggbb" where rr gives the red component, gg gives the green component, and bb gives the blue component.

Since:

Ptolemy II 0.4

Field Detail

_background

protected java.awt.Color _background

The background color as set by the "background" applet parameter. This is protected so that derived classes can find out what the background color is. Derived classes may wish to know the color so they can match it in some of their components.

Constructor Detail

BasicJApplet

public BasicJApplet()

Method Detail

getAppletInfo

public java.lang.String getAppletInfo()

Return generic applet information.

Overrides:

getAppletInfo in class java.applet.Applet

Returns:

A string giving minimal information about Ptolemy II.

getParameterInfo

public java.lang.String[][] getParameterInfo()

Describe the applet parameters. Derived classes should override this and append their own parameters. The protected method _concatStringArrays() is provided to make this easy to do.

Overrides:

getParameterInfo in class java.applet.Applet

Returns:

An array describing the applet parameters.

init

public void init()

Initialize the applet. This method is called by the browser or applet viewer to inform this applet that it has been loaded into the system. It is always called before the first time that the start() method is called. In this base class, this method reads the background color parameter. If the background color parameter has not been set, then the background color is set to white.

Overrides:

init in class java.applet.Applet

report

public void report(java.lang.Throwable throwable)

Report an exception. This prints a message to the standard error stream, followed by the stack trace, but displays on the screen only the error message associated with the exception.

Parameters:

throwable - The throwable that triggered the error.

report

public void report(java.lang.String message)

Report a message to the user. This shows the message on the browser's status bar.

Parameters:

message - The message to report.

report

public void report(java.lang.String message,
                   java.lang.Throwable throwable)

Report an exception with an additional message. This prints a message to standard error, followed by the stack trace, and pops up a window with the message and the message of the exception.

Parameters:

message - The message to report.

throwable - The throwable that triggered the error.

_concatStringArrays

protected java.lang.String[][] _concatStringArrays(java.lang.String[][] first,
                                                   java.lang.String[][] second)

Concatenate two parameter info string arrays and return the result. This is provided to make it easy for derived classes to override the getParameterInfo() method. The returned array has length equal to the sums of the lengths of the two arguments, and containing the arrays contained by the arguments.

Parameters:

first - The first string array.

second - The second string array.

Returns:

A concatenated string array.

_getBackground

@Deprecated
protected java.awt.Color _getBackground()

Deprecated. Use the public method getBackground() instead.

Get the background color as set by the "background" applet parameter. This is protected so that derived classes can find out what the background color is. Derived classes may wish to know the color so they can match it in some of their components.

Returns:

The background color.

_stackTraceToString

protected java.lang.String _stackTraceToString(java.lang.Throwable throwable)

Get the stack trace and return as a string.

Parameters:

throwable - The exception for which we want the stack trace.

Returns:

The stack trace.
