Class SnapLine

java.lang.Object
  extended by y.view.SnapLine
All Implemented Interfaces:
Drawable

public class SnapLine
extends java.lang.Object
implements Drawable

Models a snap line that is an line segment in the world coordinate system that is parallel to the x or y axis and to which other items (lines or points) snap to during interactive movements. AbstractSnapContext makes use of this class to interactively snap moving elements to snap lines.

Constructor Detail

SnapLine

public SnapLine(byte orientation,
                byte snapType,
                YPoint coordinates,
                java.lang.Object tag,
                double weight)
Creates a new snap line using the provided attributes.

Parameters:
orientation - The orientation of the snap line. This is one of HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL
snapType - The type of the line that describes how other items will snap to this line. This is one of TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER.
coordinates - The coordinates of the center point of the snap line.
tag - A tag that is associated with this snap line - see SnapResult.getTag() for a typical use of this value.
weight - The weight (importance) of this snap line. If more than one snap line is snapped to, the one with the greater weight will be used.

SnapLine

public SnapLine(byte orientation,
                byte snapType,
                YPoint coordinates,
                double from,
                double to,
                java.lang.Object tag,
                double weight)
Creates a new snap line using the provided attributes.

Parameters:
orientation - The orientation of the snap line. One of HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL.
snapType - The type of the line that describes how other items will snap to this line. One of TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER.
coordinates - The coordinates of the center point of the snap line.
tag - A tag that is associated with this snap line - see SnapResult.getTag() for a typical use of this value.
from - The smaller value of the coordinate that delimits this snap line
to - The greater value of the coordinate that delimits this snap line
weight - The weight (importance) of this snap line. If more than one snap line is snapped to, the one with the greater weight will be used.
Method Detail

getWeight

public double getWeight()
Gets the weight/importance of this snap line. Greater values indicate greater importance.


getCoordinates

public YPoint getCoordinates()
Gets the coordinates of the snap line. This is an anchor for the line segment (typically at the center of the line).


getOrientation

public byte getOrientation()
Yields the orientation of this snap line. Either HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL.


getSnapType

public byte getSnapType()
Yields the snapping type of this snap line. Either TOP, BOTTOM, RIGHT, LEFT, or CENTER.


getFrom

public double getFrom()
Yields the smaller coordinate this snap line starts from. This is the x coordinate in case of a horizontally oriented snap line, otherwise the y coordinate.

See Also:
getOrientation(), setFrom(double), getTo(), setTo(double)

getTo

public double getTo()
Yields the greater coordinate this snap line starts from. This is the x coordinate in case of a horizontally oriented snap line, otherwise the y coordinate.

See Also:
getOrientation(), setTo(double), getFrom(), setFrom(double)

setFrom

public void setFrom(double from)
Sets the smaller coordinate this snap line starts from. This is the x coordinate in case of a horizontally oriented snap line, otherwise the y coordinate.

See Also:
getOrientation(), getFrom(), getTo(), setTo(double)

setTo

public void setTo(double to)
Sets the greater coordinate this snap line starts from. This is the x coordinate in case of a horizontally oriented snap line, otherwise the y coordinate.

See Also:
getOrientation(), getTo(), getFrom(), setFrom(double)

getBounds

public java.awt.Rectangle getBounds()
Yields the bounds of the canonical drawable of this snap line.

Specified by:
getBounds in interface Drawable

paint

public void paint(java.awt.Graphics2D g)
Renders a canonical drawable of this snap line. This implementation uses the currently set color/paint from the Graphics2D context.

Specified by:
paint in interface Drawable

getTag

public java.lang.Object getTag()
Yields the tag that is associated with this snap line. The tag is most commonly used for the snap result tag.
