Description

Interface Summary

AttributeOwner	Specifies the general contract for storing attributes.
BackupValueOwner	This interface should be implemented by all OptionItem subclasses that want to support Editor.resetValue().
ChildChangeReporter	This interface should be implemented by classes that want to support PropertyChange and VetoableChange notifications of child elements.
CompoundEditor	Specifies the general contract of a compound/composite editor.
ConstraintManager.ConditionCheck	Implementations of this interface are queried by the ConstraintManager as soon as properties of an editor change.
ConstraintManager.EditorAction	An action-callback that is invoked in response to either ConstraintManager.performActionOnPropertyChange(y.option.ConstraintManager.EditorAction, OptionItem) or ConstraintManager.performActionOnCondition(y.option.ConstraintManager.EditorAction, y.option.ConstraintManager.Condition).
Editor	Specifies the general contract of an option editor.
Editor.Listener	Interface to support notification when an editor is added or removed.
EditorFactory	Specifies the general contract of an editor factory.
ExpansionStateTracker	An ExpansionStateTracker keeps track of the expanded state of an TableSectionEditor.
GuiFactory	This interface must be implemented by GUIFactories which are used by OptionHandler and OptionSection.
ImageOptionItem.ImageProvider	Utility interface that serves as "universe" of available image descriptions.
ItemEditor	Specifies the general contract of an option item editor.
ItemEditorFactory	Specifies the general contract of an item editor factory.
OptionsIOHandler	Implementations of this class are responsible for reading and writing a hierarchically structured set of options or parameters.
PropertyChangeReporter	This interface should be implemented by classes that want to support PropertyChange notification.
TableEditorFactory.ItemEditorOwner	This interface should be implemented by TableCellEditor and TableCellRenderer classes used with the TableEditorFactory that need to know additional information to display the editor value.
VetoableChangeReporter	This interface should be implemented by classes that want to support VetoableChange notification.

Class Summary

AbstractGuiFactory	Simple abstract implementation of GuiFactory.
AbstractItemEditor	A base class from which other ItemEditor classes can be derived.
ArrowCellRenderer	ListCellRenderer and TableCellRenderer implementation that renders objects of type Arrow nicely.
BoolOptionItem	An option item for boolean values.
BridgeCalculatorCellRenderer	ListCellRenderer and TableCellRenderer implementation that renders objects of type BridgeCalculator nicely.
ColorListCellRenderer	A ListCellRenderer for displaying colors.
ColorOptionItem	An option item for Color values.
ColorRenderer	A renderer for both List and table cells, displaying colors and RGBA values.
CommentOptionItem	A dummy option item that displays a commentary text.
ComponentOptionItem	An option item that displays a given JComponent as its editor.
ConstraintManager	Provides convenience methods for creating editor constraints.
ConstraintManager.Condition	A Condition that can be used to trigger or control different behavior.
DefaultCompoundEditor	Default base class for compound editors.
DefaultEditorFactory	Editor factory that creates editors which represent the parameters managed by a given OptionHandler in a tabbed pane fashion.
DoubleOptionItem	An option item for double values.
Editor.Event	An event reported when an editor is added or removed.
EnumOptionItem	An option item for a value that is chosen from a fixed range of possible values.
FileOptionItem	An option item for file name values.
IconCellRenderer
IconFilter	Custom file filter prepared to deal with a range of image icon formats.
ImageCellRenderer	Renderer for Images.
ImageOptionItem	OptionItem implementation for Image values which allows for specification of an image universe.
IntOptionItem	An option item for integer values.
MappedListCellRenderer	A ListCellRenderer and TableCellRenderer that translates a given value before it gets rendered by the Default renderer implementation.
ObjectOptionItem	General purpose option item that can be used as a base class for custom option item classes.
OptionGroup	This class bundles a set of OptionItem objects.
OptionHandler	A class that manages a set of parameters.
OptionItem	Abstract class that serves as base class for all items that can be added to an OptionHandler.
OptionSection	This class represents a section within an OptionHandler.
PasswordOptionItem	An option item for password Strings.
PropertiesGuiFactory	Simple default implementation of GuiFactory which takes the String values from a Map or Properties object.
PropertiesIOHandler	A OptionsIOHandler implementation that reads the options from and writes the options to a Java Properties object.

TableEditorFactory.EditorLocation	Enumeration to specify where external item editors should appear.
TableEditorFactory.InfoPosition	Enumeration to specify the position of the editor's info component.
TableEditorFactory.Theme	This class can be used to customize the look of editors created by a TableEditorFactory.
URLImageWrapper	Utility class that wraps together an image object and the resource location where the image has been loaded from.

Package y.option Description

Provides classes that allow to manage, store and edit a set of parameters in a very easy and convenient way.

The y.option package has been designed loosely according to the Model-View-Controller pattern. The classes

• OptionHandler
• OptionItem (and subclasses)
• OptionSection

provide the model. Controllers are described by the interfaces

• Editor
• ItemEditor
• CompoundEditor

which are also responsible for providing a view through their getComponent method.
Controllers can be created through factories; currently two factories exist: DefaultEditorFactory and TableEditorFactory.

Both, the model and the view/controller part of the y.option package support PropertyChange and VetoableChange events.
