Eclipse GEF
3.3

org.eclipse.gef
Class SnapToGuides

java.lang.Object
  extended by

org.eclipse.gef.SnapToHelper
      extended by
org.eclipse.gef.SnapToGuides
All Implemented Interfaces:
PositionConstants

public class SnapToGuides
extends SnapToHelper

A helper used to perform snapping to guides. The guides are obtained from the viewer's horizontal and vertical RulerProviders. If snapping is performed, the request's extended data will contain keyed values indicating which guides were snapped to, and which side of the part should be attached. Generally snapping to a guide should attach the part to that guide, but application behavior may differ.

Snapping (and attaching) to a guide is only possible if a single part is being dragged. The current implementation will not snap if a request contains multiple parts. This may be relaxed in the future to allow snapping, but without setting the attachment extended data.

This helper does not keep up with changes in guides. Clients should instantiate a new helper each time one is requested and not hold on to instances of the helper.

Since:
3.0

Field Detail

KEY_VERTICAL_GUIDE

public static final java.lang.String KEY_VERTICAL_GUIDE
The key used to identify the Vertical Guide. This key is used with the request's extended data map to store an Integer. The integer value is the location of the guide that is being snapped to.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

KEY_HORIZONTAL_GUIDE

public static final java.lang.String KEY_HORIZONTAL_GUIDE
The key used to identify the Horizontal Guide. This key is used with the request's extended data map to store an Integer. The integer value is the location of the guide that is being snapped to.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

KEY_VERTICAL_ANCHOR

public static final java.lang.String KEY_VERTICAL_ANCHOR
The key used to identify the vertical anchor point. This key is used with the request's extended data map to store an Integer. If the VERTICAL_GUIDE has been set, then this integer is a number identifying which side of the dragged object is being snapped to that guide.
  • -1 indicates the left side should be attached.
  • 0 indicates the center should be attached.
  • 1 indicates the right side should be attached.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

KEY_HORIZONTAL_ANCHOR

public static final java.lang.String KEY_HORIZONTAL_ANCHOR
The key used to identify the horizontal anchor point. This key is used with the request's extended data map to store an Integer. If the HORIZONTAL_GUIDE has been set, then this integer is a number identifying which side of the dragged object is being snapped to that guide.
  • -1 indicates the top side should be attached.
  • 0 indicates the middle should be attached.
  • 1 indicates the bottom side should be attached.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

THRESHOLD

protected static final double THRESHOLD
The threshold for snapping to guides. The rectangle being snapped must be within +/- the THRESHOLD. The default value is 5.001;

See Also:
Constant Field Values

container

protected 
GraphicalEditPart container
The graphical editpart to which guides are relative. This should also the parent of the parts being snapped to guides.


verticalGuides

protected int[] verticalGuides
The locations of the vertical guides in the container's coordinates. Use getVerticalGuides().


horizontalGuides

protected int[] horizontalGuides
The locations of the horizontal guides in the container's coordinates. Use getHorizontalGuides().

Constructor Detail

SnapToGuides

public SnapToGuides(
GraphicalEditPart container)
Constructs a new snap-to-guides helper using the given container as the basis.

Parameters:
container - the container editpart
Method Detail

getThreshold

protected double getThreshold()
Get the sensitivity of the snapping. Corrections greater than this value will not occur.

Returns:
the snapping threshold
Since:
3.4

setThreshold

protected void setThreshold(double newThreshold)
Set the sensitivity of the snapping.

Parameters:
newThreshold - the new snapping threshold
Since:
3.4
See Also:
getThreshold()

getCorrectionFor

protected double getCorrectionFor(int[] guides,
                                  double near,
                                  double far,
                                  java.util.Map extendedData,
                                  boolean isVertical)
Returns the correction for the given near and far sides of a rectangle or getThreshold() if no correction was found. The near side represents the top or left side of a rectangle being snapped. Similar for far. If snapping occurs, the extendedData will have the guide and attachment point set.

Parameters:
guides - the location of the guides
near - the top or left location
far - the bottom or right location
extendedData - the map for storing snap details
isVertical - true if for vertical guides, false for horizontal.
Returns:
the correction amount or getThreshold() if no correction was made

getCorrectionFor

protected double getCorrectionFor(int[] guides,
                                  double value,
                                  java.util.Map extendedData,
                                  boolean vert,
                                  int side)
Returns the correction for the given location or getThreshold() if no correction was found. If correction occurs, the extendedData will have the guide and attachment point set. The attachment point is identified by the side parameter.

The correction's magnitude will be less than getThreshold().

Parameters:
guides - the location of the guides
value - the location being tested
extendedData - the map for storing snap details
vert - true if for vertical guides, false
side - the integer indicating which side is being snapped
Returns:
a correction amount or getThreshold() if no correction was made

getHorizontalGuides

protected int[] getHorizontalGuides()
Returns the horizontal guides in the coordinates of the container's contents pane.

Returns:
the horizontal guides

getVerticalGuides

protected int[] getVerticalGuides()
Returns the vertical guides in the coordinates of the container's contents pane.

Returns:
the vertical guides

snapRectangle

public int snapRectangle(
Request request,
                         int snapOrientation,
                         
PrecisionRectangle baseRect,

Description copied from class: SnapToHelper
Applies a snap correction to a Rectangle based on a given Rectangle. The provided baseRect will be used as a reference for snapping. The types of snapping to be performed are indicated by the snapOrientation parameter. The correction is applied to the result field.

The baseRect is not modified. The correction is applied to the result. The request's extended data may contain additional information about the snapping which was performed.

All coordinate information received and returned by this method should be in absolute coordinates.

Specified by:
snapRectangle in class SnapToHelper
Parameters:
request - the request or null
baseRect - the input rectangle
result - the correction is applied to this rectangle
snapOrientation - the input snap locations
Returns:
the remaining snap locations
