Class CanvasUtilities

java.lang.Object

diva.canvas.CanvasUtilities

public final class CanvasUtilities
extends java.lang.Object

A collection of canvas utilities. These utilities perform useful functions related to the structural aspects of diva.canvas that do not properly belong in any one class. Some of them perform utility geometric functions that are not available in the Java 2D API, while others accept iterators over Figures or Shapes and compute a useful composite result.

Method Detail

clone

@Deprecated
public static java.awt.Shape clone(java.awt.Shape s)

Deprecated. Use ShapeUtilities.cloneShape() instead

Clone a shape. This method is needed because Shape by itself does not define clone(), although many (all?) shape instances do.

computeCompositeShape

public static java.awt.Shape computeCompositeShape(java.util.Iterator i)

Compute a composite shape. The iterator must contain figures, from which the shapes are obtained and joined into a more complex shape. If the iterator is empty, return a very small rectangle.

computeSiteBounds

public static java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D computeSiteBounds(java.util.Iterator i)

Compute the bounding box of a set of connectors. The iterator must contain connectors.

computeCompositeBounds

public static java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D computeCompositeBounds(java.util.Iterator i)

Compute a composite bounding box. The iterator must contain figures, from which the bounding boxes are obtained and joined into a more complex shape. If the iterator is empty, return a very small rectangle.

computeTransform

public static java.awt.geom.AffineTransform computeTransform(java.awt.geom.RectangularShape r,
                                                             java.awt.geom.RectangularShape s)

Get the transform that will make the first rectangle change into the second.

computeFitTransform

public static java.awt.geom.AffineTransform computeFitTransform(java.awt.geom.RectangularShape r,
                                                                java.awt.geom.RectangularShape s)

Get the transform that will make the first rectangle change fit within the second, while preserving the shape.

getCenterPoint

public static java.awt.geom.Point2D getCenterPoint(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D r)

Return the point at the center of a Rectangle.

getCenterPoint

public static java.awt.geom.Point2D getCenterPoint(Figure f)

Return the point at the center of a figure. This is simple but so common it's worth having a method for it.

getCenterPoint

public static java.awt.geom.Point2D getCenterPoint(Figure f,
                                                   TransformContext root)

Return the point at the center of a figure, in the given transform context. This is simple but so common it's worth having a method for it.

getDirection

public static int getDirection(double angle)

Return the closest direction from SwingConstants, based on the given angle. West corresponds to 0 degrees and south is PI/2.

getNormal

public static double getNormal(int direction)

Return an angle in radians, given a direction from SwingConstants. West corresponds to 0 degrees and south is PI/2. The angle returned is between -PI and PI as per the normalizeAngle method.

getLocation

public static java.awt.geom.Point2D getLocation(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D r,
                                                int location)

Get the point on the given rectangular shape indicated by the location flag. This flag must be one of those defined in javax.swing.Constants.

isOrthogonal

public static boolean isOrthogonal(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform at)

Return true if the given transform maps a rectangle to a rectangle. If this method returns true, then passing a rectangle to transform() is guaranteed to return a rectangle.

moduloAngle

public static double moduloAngle(double angle)

Return the angle between -PI and PI that corresponds to the given angle.

pick

public static Figure pick(java.util.Iterator i,
                          java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D region)

Return the first figure that is hit by the given region. The figures tested are contained in the given iterator, which must contain only figures. And figure that is also a FigureContainer is descended into recursively; other figures are simply tested using their hit() method.

Parameters:

i - An iterator over figures

region - A rectangle which represents the pick or hit region

Returns:

The topmost descendent under the pick region, or null there isn't one.

public static Figure pick(java.util.Iterator i,
                          java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D region,
                          Filter filter)

Return the first figure that is hit by the given region. The figures tested are contained in the given iterator, which must contain only figures. And figure that is also a FigureContainer is descended into recursively; other figures are simply tested using their hit() method.

Parameters:

i - An iterator over figures

region - A rectangle which represents the pick or hit region

Returns:

The topmost descendent under the pick region, or null there isn't one.

pickIter

public static java.util.Iterator pickIter(java.util.Iterator i,
                                          java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D region)

Return an iterator over the figures hit by the given region. The figures tested are contained in the given iterator, which must contain only figures. And figure that is also a FigureContainer is descended into recursively; other figures are simply tested using their hit() method. XXX how to do this?

Parameters:

i - An iterator over figures

region - A rectangle which represents the pick or hit region

Returns:

An iterator over the hit figures.

reverseDirection

public static int reverseDirection(int direction)

Reverse a direction flag. The flag must one of the eight compass directions defined in SwingConstants. Return the flag that represents the opposite direction.

transform

@Deprecated
public static java.awt.Shape transform(java.awt.geom.RectangularShape r,
                                                   java.awt.geom.AffineTransform at)

Deprecated. Use diva.util.java2d.ShapeUtilities.transformRectangle() or diva.util.java2d.ShapeUtilities.transformRectangularShape()

Transform a shape with the supplied transform. If the shape is an instance of RectangularShape, then the transformation will modify that shape and return it if it is possible to do so. Otherwise, AffineTransform.createTransformedShape() is used to create a new shape, which is then returned.

transform

@Deprecated
public static java.awt.Shape transform(java.awt.Shape s,
                                                   java.awt.geom.AffineTransform at)

Deprecated. Use ShapeUtilities.transformModify()

Transform a shape with the supplied transform. As much as possible, this method attempts to preserve the type of the shape and to modify it directly if possible: if the shape of this figure is an instance of RectangularShape or Polyline, then the shape may be modified directly. Otherwise, a general transformation is used that creates and returns a new instance of GeneralPath.

transformInto

@Deprecated
public static java.awt.geom.Point2D transformInto(java.awt.geom.Point2D p,
                                                              TransformContext local,
                                                              TransformContext root)

Deprecated. Use local.getTransform(root) instead.

Transform a point from a local transform context into a root transform context. The root context must enclose the local one, otherwise this method goes into an infinite loop. You asked for it.

public static void translate(Figure f,
                             double distance,
                             int direction)

Translate a figure the given distance in the direction given by the flag. The flag must one of the eight compass directions defined in SwingConstants.

translate

public static java.awt.geom.Point2D translate(java.awt.geom.Point2D p,
                                              double distance,
                                              int direction)

Translate a point the given distance in the direction given by the flag. The flag must one of the eight compass directions defined in SwingConstants. Return the same point, but modified.

translate

public static java.awt.geom.Point2D translate(java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double p,
                                              double distance,
                                              int direction)

Translate a point the given distance in the direction given by the flag. The flag must one of the eight compass directions defined in SwingConstants. Return the same point, but modified.

translate

public static java.awt.geom.Point2D translate(java.awt.geom.Point2D.Float p,
                                              double distance,
                                              int direction)

Translate a point the given distance in the direction given by the flag. The flag must one of the eight compass directions defined in SwingConstants. Return the same point, but modified.

translate

@Deprecated
public static java.awt.Shape translate(java.awt.Shape s,
                                                   double x,
                                                   double y)

Deprecated. Use ShapeUtilities.translateModify()

Translate a shape the given distance. If it is possible to do so, perform this translation efficiently, modifying and returning the passed shape. Otherwise use AffineTransform.createTransformedShape() to create a new translated shape, and return that.

translateTo

public static void translateTo(Figure f,
                               double x,
                               double y)
