Class IlvBalloon

java.lang.Object
  ilog.views.IlvGraphic
      ilog.views.graphic.composite.decoration.IlvBalloon

All Implemented Interfaces:

IlvHotSpot, IlvPersistentObject, Transferable, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

IlvRectBalloon, IlvRoundRectBalloon

public abstract class IlvBalloon
extends IlvGraphic
implements IlvHotSpot

IlvBalloon is the abstract base class for all graphic objects that represent a balloon. These classes are designed to be used as children of composite graphic objects; they can also be used as standard graphic objects.

In addition to the standard constructors, the following methods should be overridden to create a customized balloon:

• getHotSpot
• draw

The default settings for an IlvBalloon are as follows:

• Orientation: SwingConstants.NORTH_EAST
• PointerDepth: 10
• ShadowThickness: 2
• BalloonColor: Color(242, 242, 242)
• BorderColor: Color.black
• ShadowColor: Color(153, 153, 153)
• ShadowThickness: 2

About Graphic Objects

IlvBalloon is a custom graphic object, that is, a subclass of IlvGraphic. Graphic objects are controlled using an IlvManager instance and displayed using one or more IlvManagerView instances in a Java Swing application. For information about generic features for graphic objects, see IlvGraphic.

Since:

JViews 6.0

Constructor Detail

IlvBalloon

public IlvBalloon()

Creates a balloon with the default values.

IlvBalloon

public IlvBalloon(IlvBalloon source)

Creates a new IlvBalloon by copying an existing one.

IlvBalloon

public IlvBalloon(IlvInputStream stream)
           throws IlvReadFileException

Reads the object from an IlvInputStream.

Parameters:

stream - The input stream.

Throws:

IlvReadFileException - if the format is not correct.

public IlvBalloon(int orientation,
                  int pointerDepth,
                  int shadowThickness,
                  Color balloonColor,
                  Color borderColor,
                  Color shadowColor)

Creates a balloon with the characteristics given by the supplied parameters.

Method Detail

moveResize

public void moveResize(IlvRect size)

Resizes the object. The method sets the bounding rectangle of the object to the IlvRect parameter. This method calls the applyTransform method.

Overrides:

moveResize in class IlvGraphic

Parameters:

size - The new bounding rectangle of the object.

See Also:

IlvGraphic, IlvGraphic.applyTransform(IlvTransformer)

applyTransform

public void applyTransform(IlvTransformer t)

Applies a transformation to the shape of this object.

Specified by:

applyTransform in class IlvGraphic

Parameters:

t - The transformer to be applied.

See Also:

IlvGraphic

boundingBox

public IlvRect boundingBox(IlvTransformer t)

Returns the bounding rectangle of this object.

Specified by:

boundingBox in class IlvGraphic

Parameters:

t - The transformer used to draw the object. If the transformer is null, the bounding box for the identity transformer is returned.

See Also:

IlvGraphic.draw(java.awt.Graphics, ilog.views.IlvTransformer), IlvGraphic.zoomable(), IlvGraphic

getOrientation

public int getOrientation()

Returns the orientation in which the balloon will be displayed.

The possible values are:

• SwingConstants.NORTH_EAST
• SwingConstants.NORTH_WEST
• SwingConstants.SOUTH_EAST
• SwingConstants.SOUTH_WEST
• SwingConstants.EAST
• SwingConstants.WEST

setOrientation

setBorderColor

public void setBorderColor(Color balloonBorderColor)

Sets the balloon shadow color.

write

public void write(IlvOutputStream stream)
           throws IOException
