All Implemented Interfaces:

MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, EventListener

public class BlobPanel
extends JComponent
implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener

Component which allows the user to draw a blob using the mouse. You drag the mouse around to cover patches of the component; you can create several separate or overlapping blobs by doing several click-drag sequences. If you drag off the window the currently-dragged region will be ditched. Clicking with the right button removes the most recently-added blob. Resizing the window clears any existing blobs (since it's not obvious how or if to resize the blobs). Try it, it's easy.

Constructor Detail

BlobPanel

public BlobPanel()

Creates a new BlobPanel.

Method Detail

getBlob

public Shape getBlob()

Returns the currently-defined blob.

Returns:

shape drawn

setBlob

public void setBlob(Shape blob)

Sets the currently-defined blob.

Parameters:

blob - shape to be displayed and played around with by the user

clear

public void clear()

Resets the current blob to a null shape.

getBlobAction

public Action getBlobAction()

Returns the action which is used to start and stop blob drawing. Invoking the action toggles the activity status of this panel, and when invoked for deactivation (that is after a blob has been drawn) then blobCompleted(java.awt.Shape) is called.

Returns:

activation toggle action

setActive

public void setActive(boolean active)

Sets whether this panel is active (visible, accepting mouse gestures, drawing shapes) or inactive (invisible).

Parameters:

active - true to select activeness

isActive

public boolean isActive()

Indicates whether this blob is currently active.

Returns:

true iff this blob is active (visible and drawing)

blobCompleted

protected void blobCompleted(Shape blob)

Invoked when this component's action is invoked to terminate a blob drawing session. Subclasses may provide an implementation which does something with the shape. The default implemenatation does nothing.

Parameters:

blob - completed shape

setColors

public void setColors(Color fillColor,
                      Color pathColor)

Sets the colours which will be used for drawing the blob.

Parameters:

fillColor - colour which fills the blob area

pathColor - colour which delineates the blob region

paintComponent

protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)

Overrides:

paintComponent in class JComponent
