public class JViewport

extends JComponent

implements Accessible

The "viewport" or "porthole" through which you see the underlying information. When you scroll, what moves is the viewport. Its like peering through a camera's viewfinder. Moving the viewfinder upwards brings new things into view at the top of the picture and loses things that were at the bottom.

Warning: serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between Swing1.0 applications. It will not be possible to load serialized Swing1.0 objects with future releases of Swing. The JDK1.2 release of Swing will be the compatibility baseline for the serialized form of Swing objects.

Field Summary

java.awt.Image	backingStoreImage The view image used for a backing store.
boolean	backingStore True when this viewport is maintaining an offscreen image of its contents, so that some scrolling can take place using fast "bit-blit" operations instead of by accessing the view object to construct the display.
boolean	isViewSizeSet True when the viewport dimensions have been determined.
java.awt.Point	lastPaintPosition The last viewPosition that we've painted, so we know how much of the backing store image is valid.
boolean	scrollUnderway The scrollUnderway flag is used for components like JList.

Field Detail

isViewSizeSet

protected boolean isViewSizeSet

True when the viewport dimensions have been determined.

lastPaintPosition

protected java.awt.Point lastPaintPosition

The last viewPosition that we've painted, so we know how much of the backing store image is valid.

backingStore

protected boolean backingStore

True when this viewport is maintaining an offscreen image of its contents, so that some scrolling can take place using fast "bit-blit" operations instead of by accessing the view object to construct the display.

backingStoreImage

protected transient java.awt.Image backingStoreImage

The view image used for a backing store.

scrollUnderway

protected boolean scrollUnderway

The scrollUnderway flag is used for components like JList. When the downarrow key is pressed on a JList and the selected cell is the last in the list, the scrollpane autoscrolls. Here, the old selected cell needs repainting and so we need a flag to make the viewport do the optimised painting only when there is an explicit call to setViewPosition(Point). When setBounds() is called through other routes, the flag is off and the view repaints normally. Another approach would be to remove this from the Viewport class and have the JList manage this case by using setBackingStoreEnabled().

Constructor Detail

JViewport

public JViewport()

Create a JViewPort

Method Detail

addImpl

protected void addImpl(java.awt.Component child,
                       java.lang.Object constraints,
                       int index)

Sets the Viewport's one lightweight child, which can be null. (Since there is only one child which occupies the entire viewport, the constraints and index arguments are ignored.)

Parameters:

child - the Component ______________

constraints - the Object ______________

index - the int ______________

Overrides:

addImpl in class java.awt.Container

See Also:

setView

remove

public void remove(java.awt.Component child)

Removes the Viewport's one lightweight child.

Overrides:

remove in class java.awt.Container

See Also:

setView

scrollRectToVisible

public void scrollRectToVisible(java.awt.Rectangle contentRect)

Overridden to scroll the view so that Rectangle within the view becomes visible.

Parameters:

contentRect - the Rectangle to display

Overrides:

scrollRectToVisible in class JComponent

setBorder

public final void setBorder(Border border)

The viewport "scrolls" it's child (called the "view") by the normal parent/child clipping (typically the view is moved in the opposite direction of the scroll). A non-null border, or non-zero insets, isn't supported, to prevent the geometry of this component from becoming complex enough to inhibit subclassing. To create a JViewport with a border, add it to a JPanel that has a border.

Parameters:

border - the Border to set

Overrides:

setBorder in class JComponent

getInsets

public final java.awt.Insets getInsets()

Returns the insets (border) dimensions as (0,0,0,0), since borders are not supported on a JViewPort.

Returns:

new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0)

Overrides:

getInsets in class JComponent

See Also:

setBorder

isOptimizedDrawingEnabled

public boolean isOptimizedDrawingEnabled()

The JViewport overrides the default implementation of this method (in JComponent) to return false. This ensures that the drawing machinery will call the Viewport's paint() implementation rather than messaging the JViewport's children directly.

Returns:

false

Overrides:

isOptimizedDrawingEnabled in class JComponent

paint

public void paint(java.awt.Graphics g)

Depending on whether the backingStore is enabled, either paint the image through the backing store or paint just the recently exposed part, using the backing store to "blit" the remainder.

The term "blit" is the pronounced version of the PDP-10 BLT (BLock Transfer) instruction, which copied a bunch of bits. (In case you were curious.)

Parameters:

g - the Graphics context within which to paint

Overrides:

paint in class JComponent

setBounds

public void setBounds(int x,
                      int y,
                      int w,
                      int h)

Sets the bounds of this viewport.

Parameters:

x - an int giving distance from left in pixels

y - an int giving distance from top in pixels

w - an int giving width in pixels

h - an int giving height in pixels

Overrides:

setBounds in class java.awt.Component

See Also:

setBounds(int, int, int, int)

isBackingStoreEnabled

public boolean isBackingStoreEnabled()

Returns true if this viewport is maintaining an offscreen image of its contents.

setBackingStoreEnabled

public void setBackingStoreEnabled(boolean x)

If true if this viewport will maintain an offscreen image of its contents. The image is used to reduce the cost of small one dimensional changes to the viewPosition. Rather than repainting the entire viewport we use Graphics.copyArea() to effect some of the scroll.

getView

public java.awt.Component getView()

Returns the Viewport's one child or null.

See Also:

setView

setView

public void setView(java.awt.Component view)

Sets the Viewport's one lightweight child (view), which can be null.

See Also:

getView

getViewSize

public java.awt.Dimension getViewSize()

If the view's size hasn't been explicitly set, return the preferred size, otherwise return the view's current size. If there is no view, return 0,0.

Returns:

a Dimension object specifying the size of the view

setViewSize

public void setViewSize(java.awt.Dimension newSize)

Sets the view coordinates that appear in the upper left hand corner of the viewport, and the size of the view.

Parameters:

newSize - a Dimension object specifying the size and location of the new view coordinates, or null if there is no view

getViewPosition

public java.awt.Point getViewPosition()

Returns the view coordinates that appear in the upper left hand corner of the viewport, 0,0 if there's no view.

Returns:

a Point object giving the upper left coordinates

setViewPosition

public void setViewPosition(java.awt.Point p)

Sets the view coordinates that appear in the upper left hand corner of the viewport, null if there's no view.

Parameters:

p - a Point object giving the upper left coordinates

getViewRect

public java.awt.Rectangle getViewRect()

Return a rectangle whose origin is getViewPosition and size is getExtentSize(). This is the visible part of the view, in view coordinates.

Returns:

a Rectangle giving the visible part of the view using view coordinates.

computeBlit

protected boolean computeBlit(int dx,
                              int dy,
                              java.awt.Point blitFrom,
                              java.awt.Point blitTo,
                              java.awt.Dimension blitSize,
                              java.awt.Rectangle blitPaint)

Computes the parameters for a blit where the backing store image currently contains oldLoc in the upper left hand corner and we're scrolling to newLoc. The parameters are modified to return the values required for the blit.

getExtentSize

Returns:

a Dimension object giving the size of the view

toViewCoordinates
