Eclipse Draw2d

org.eclipse.draw2d
Class UpdateManager

java.lang.Object
  extended by
org.eclipse.draw2d.UpdateManager
Direct Known Subclasses:
DeferredUpdateManager, SubordinateUpdateManager

public abstract class UpdateManager
extends java.lang.Object

Update managers handle the job of laying out and repainting figures. A desirable implementation is to batches work to be done and collapses any redundant work. For example, clients may be making multiple changes to figures, which require laying out the same container or repainting the same region.

The update manager receives requests to validate certain figures, and repaint certain areas of figures. An update manager could process every request synchronously, or it could batch these requests and process them asynchronously.

The update process occurs in two phases. The first phase is laying out invalid figures. This phase comes first because it usually introduces additional damage regions. In some cases, while validating figures, new invalid figures may be appended to the update manager. Of course, damage regions will be reported too as figures are layed out.

The second phase is to repaint all damaged areas. The update manager will typically batch, clip, and union, all rectangles and perform a single paint of the overall damaged area.

Constructor Detail

UpdateManager

public UpdateManager()
Method Detail

addDirtyRegion

public abstract void addDirtyRegion(
IFigure figure,
                                    int x,
                                    int y,
                                    int w,
                                    int h)
Adds the dirty region defined by the coordinates on the IFigure figure. The update manager should repaint the dirty region in a timely fashion.

Parameters:
figure - the dirty figure
x - the x coordinate of the dirty region
y - the y coordinate of the dirty region
w - the width of the dirty region
h - the height of the dirty region

addDirtyRegion

public void addDirtyRegion(
IFigure figure,
                           
Rectangle rect)
See Also:
addDirtyRegion(IFigure, int, int, int, int)

runWithUpdate

public void runWithUpdate(java.lang.Runnable run)
Causes an update to occur at some time, and the given runnable to be executed following the update.

Parameters:
run - the runnable
Since:
3.1

addInvalidFigure

public abstract void addInvalidFigure(
IFigure figure)
The receiver should call validate() on the IFigure figure in a timely fashion.

Parameters:
figure - the invalid figure

addUpdateListener

public void addUpdateListener(
UpdateListener listener)
Adds the given listener to the list of listeners to be notified of painting and validation.

Parameters:
listener - the listener to add

dispose

public void dispose()
Called when the EditPartViewer is being disposed.


firePainting

protected void firePainting(
Rectangle damage,
                            java.util.Map dirtyRegions)
Notifies listeners that painting is about to occur, passing them the damaged rectangle and the map of dirty regions.

Parameters:
damage - the damaged rectangle
dirtyRegions - map of dirty regions to figures

fireValidating

protected void fireValidating()
Notifies listeners that validation is about to occur.


isDisposed

protected boolean isDisposed()
Returns:
whether this update manager has been disposed.

performUpdate

public abstract void performUpdate()
Forces an update to occur. Update managers will perform updates automatically, but may do so asynchronously. Calling this method forces a synchronous update.


performUpdate

public abstract void performUpdate(
Rectangle exposed)
Performs an update on the given exposed rectangle.

Parameters:
exposed - the exposed rectangle

removeUpdateListener

public void removeUpdateListener(
UpdateListener listener)
Removes one occurrence of the given UpdateListener by identity.

Parameters:
listener - the listener to remove

setGraphicsSource

public abstract void setGraphicsSource(
GraphicsSource gs)
Sets the GraphicsSource for this update manager.

Parameters:
gs - the new GraphicsSource

setRoot

public abstract void setRoot(
IFigure figure)
Sets the root figure.

Parameters:
figure - the new root figure

performValidation

public void performValidation()
Performs a partial update if supported (validation only). Fires notification to listeners that validation has been performed. By default this method calls performUpdate(). Subclasses should override this method to support validation without repainting.

Since:
3.2
