Interface DrawingModelCache

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractDrawingModelCache

public interface DrawingModelCache

The interface that defines a model cache for JDrawing. The model cache is responsible for selecting elements neccessary for repainiting specific area, for calculating bounding rectangle of the model, and for searching for elements, containing given point.

DrawingModel, DrawingElementRenderer

void	addDrawingModelCacheListener(DrawingModelCacheListener listener) Adds a listener which will be notified about changes in this model cache.
java.lang.Object[]	getElementsForPoint(java.awt.geom.Point2D point) Returns elements, which containes given point.
java.lang.Object[]	getElementsForRectangle(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D rectangle) Returns elements neccessary for repainting given area.
java.awt.Rectangle	getModelBounds() Returns the bounding box of all elements of the model.
java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D	getModelBounds2D() Returns the high precision bounding box of all elements of the model.
void	removeDrawingModelCacheListener(DrawingModelCacheListener listener) Removes a listener from the list that is notified about changes in this model cache.
void	setElementRenderer(DrawingElementRenderer renderer) Sets the DrawingElementRenderer that will be used this cache.
void	setModel(DrawingModel model) Sets the DrawingModel that will be cached by this cache.

Method Detail

setModel

Returns the bounding box of all elements of the model.

Returns:

the bounding box of all elements of the model

getModelBounds2D

public java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D getModelBounds2D()

Returns the high precision bounding box of all elements of the model.

Returns:

the high precision bounding box of all elements of the model

getElementsForRectangle

public java.lang.Object[] getElementsForRectangle(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D rectangle)

Returns elements neccessary for repainting given area. Elements are returned in order suitable for painting.

Parameters:

rectangle - area that will be repainted

Returns:

elements neccessary for repainting

getElementsForPoint

public java.lang.Object[] getElementsForPoint(java.awt.geom.Point2D point)

Returns elements, which containes given point. Elements are returned in order, suitable for painting.

Parameters:

point - the Point2D return elements containing given point

addDrawingModelCacheListener

public void addDrawingModelCacheListener(DrawingModelCacheListener listener)

Adds a listener which will be notified about changes in this model cache.

Parameters:

listener - the DrawingModelCacheListener

removeDrawingModelCacheListener

public void removeDrawingModelCacheListener(DrawingModelCacheListener listener)

Removes a listener from the list that is notified about changes in this model cache.

Parameters:

listener - the DrawingModelCacheListener
