ILabelStyleRenderer

Show Usages
Interface used by ILabelStyle implementations to query the actual IVisualCreator, IVisibilityTestable, IBoundsProvider, IHitTestable, IMarqueeTestable, and ILassoTestable implementations for a label and an associated style.
Inheritance Hierarchy

Remarks

Implementations of this interface should be designed to be shareable between multiple style instances and should therefore not contain style-specific state.

Methods

getBoundsProvider

(label: ILabel, style: ILabelStyle): IBoundsProvider
abstract
Gets an implementation of the IBoundsProvider interface that can handle the provided label and its associated style.
This method may return a flyweight implementation.
abstract

Parameters

label: ILabel
The label to provide an instance for
style: ILabelStyle
The style to use for calculating the rendering bounds

Return Value

IBoundsProvider
An implementation that may be used to subsequently query the label's rendering bounds. Clients should not cache this instance and must always call this method immediately before using the value returned. This enables the use of the flyweight design pattern for implementations

getContext

(label: ILabel, style: ILabelStyle): ILookup
abstract
Gets a temporary context instance that can be used to query additional information for the label's style.
Implementations may return EMPTY if they do not support this, but may not return null.
abstract

Parameters

label: ILabel
The label to provide a context instance for.
style: ILabelStyle
The style to use for the context.

Return Value

ILookup
A non-null lookup implementation.

getHitTestable

(label: ILabel, style: ILabelStyle): IHitTestable
abstract
Gets an implementation of the IHitTestable interface that can handle the provided label and its associated style.
This method may return a flyweight implementation.
abstract

Parameters

label: ILabel
The label to provide an instance for
style: ILabelStyle
The style to use for calculating hit tests

Return Value

IHitTestable
An implementation that may be used to subsequently perform hit tests. Clients should not cache this instance and must always call this method immediately before using the value returned. This enables the use of the flyweight design pattern for implementations. This method may return null to indicate that the label cannot be hit tested.

getLassoTestable

(label: ILabel, style: ILabelStyle): ILassoTestable
abstract
Gets an implementation of the ILassoTestable interface that can handle the provided label and its associated style.
This method may return a flyweight implementation.
abstract

Parameters

label: ILabel
The label to provide an instance for
style: ILabelStyle
The style to use for calculating lasso intersection tests

Return Value

ILassoTestable
An implementation that may be used to subsequently query the lasso intersections. Clients should not cache this instance and must always call this method immediately before using the value returned. This enables the use of the flyweight design pattern for implementations

getMarqueeTestable

(label: ILabel, style: ILabelStyle): IMarqueeTestable
abstract
Gets an implementation of the IMarqueeTestable interface that can handle the provided label and its associated style.
This method may return a flyweight implementation.
abstract

Parameters

label: ILabel
The label to provide an instance for
style: ILabelStyle
The style to use for calculating marquee intersection tests

Return Value

IMarqueeTestable
An implementation that may be used to subsequently query the marquee intersections. Clients should not cache this instance and must always call this method immediately before using the value returned. This enables the use of the flyweight design pattern for implementations

getPreferredSize

(label: ILabel, style: ILabelStyle): Size
abstract
Calculates the preferredSize of a given label using the associated style.
abstract

Parameters

label: ILabel
The label to determine the preferred size for
style: ILabelStyle
The style to use for calculating the preferred size

Return Value

Size
A size that can be used as the preferredSize if this renderer renders the label using the associated style.

getVisibilityTestable

(label: ILabel, style: ILabelStyle): IVisibilityTestable
abstract
Gets an implementation of the IVisibilityTestable interface that can handle the provided label and its associated style.
This method may return a flyweight implementation.
abstract

Parameters

label: ILabel
The label to provide an instance for
style: ILabelStyle
The style to use for testing the visibility

Return Value

IVisibilityTestable
An implementation that may be used to subsequently query the label's visibility. Clients should not cache this instance and must always call this method immediately before using the value returned. This enables the use of the flyweight design pattern for implementations

getVisualCreator

(label: ILabel, style: ILabelStyle): IVisualCreator
abstract
Gets an implementation of the IVisualCreator interface that can handle the provided label and its associated style.
This method may return a flyweight implementation, but never null.
abstract

Parameters

label: ILabel
The label to provide an instance for
style: ILabelStyle
The style to use for creating the label visualization

Return Value

IVisualCreator
An implementation that may be used to subsequently create or update the visual for the label. Clients should not cache this instance and must always call this method immediately before using the value returned. This enables the use of the flyweight design pattern for implementations. This method may not return null but should yield a void implementation instead.
