Chapter 9. The java.awt Package

The java.awt package is the main package of the AWT, or Abstract Windowing Toolkit. It contains classes for graphics, including the Java 2D graphics capabilities introduced in the Java 2 platform, and also defines the basic graphical user interface (GUI) framework for Java. java.awt also includes a number of heavyweight GUI objects, many of which have been superseded by the javax.swing package. java.awt also has a number of important subpackages.

The most important graphics classes in java.awt are Graphics and its Java 2D extension, Graphics2D. These classes represent a drawing surface, maintain a set of drawing attributes, and define methods for drawing and filling lines, shapes, and text. Classes that represent graphics attributes include Color, Font, Paint, Stroke, and Composite. The Image class and Shape interface represent things that you can draw using a Graphics object and the various graphics attributes. Figure 9-1 shows the graphics classes of this package.

The most important class for GUIs is Component, which represents a single graphical element in a GUI. Container is a kind of component that can contain other components. The LayoutManager interface and its various implementations are used to position components within their containers. Figure 9-2 shows the GUI classes of this package, and Figure 9-3 shows the event, exception, and security classes.

ActiveEventJava 1.2
java.awt

This interface is implemented by events that know how to dispatch themselves. When the event dispatch system encounters an ActiveEvent on the event queue, it simply invokes the dispatch() method of the event, instead of attempting to dispatch the event on its own. This interface is implemented by java.awt.event.InvocationEvent, which is used by the invokeLater() and invokeAndWait() methods of EventQueue.

public abstract interface ActiveEvent {
// Public Instance Methods
public abstract void dispatch ();
}

Implementations: java.awt.event.InvocationEvent

AdjustableJava 1.1
java.awtPJ1.1

This interface defines the methods that should be implemented by an object that maintains a user-adjustable numeric value. The adjustable value has specified minimum and maximum values, and it may be incremented or decremented either a unit at a time or a block at a time. An Adjustable object generates an AdjustmentEvent when it is adjusted and maintains a list of AdjustmentListener objects interested in being notified when such an event occurs.

This interface abstracts the essential functionality of the Scrollbar and javax.swing.JScrollBar components.

public abstract interface Adjustable {
// Public Constants
public static final int HORIZONTAL ; =0
public static final int VERTICAL ; =1
// Event Registration Methods (by event name)
public abstract void addAdjustmentListener (java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener l);
public abstract void removeAdjustmentListener (java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener l);
// Property Accessor Methods (by property name)
public abstract int getBlockIncrement ();
public abstract void setBlockIncrement (int b);
public abstract int getMaximum ();
public abstract void setMaximum (int max);
public abstract int getMinimum ();
public abstract void setMinimum (int min);
public abstract int getOrientation ();
public abstract int getUnitIncrement ();
public abstract void setUnitIncrement (int u);
public abstract int getValue ();
public abstract void setValue (int v);
public abstract int getVisibleAmount ();
public abstract void setVisibleAmount (int v);
}

Passed To: java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent.AdjustmentEvent(), java.awt.peer.ScrollPanePeer.{setUnitIncrement(), setValue()}

Returned By: ScrollPane.{getHAdjustable(), getVAdjustable()}, java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent.getAdjustable()

AlphaCompositeJava 1.2
java.awt

This implementation of the Composite interface blends colors according to their levels of alpha transparency. AlphaComposite does not have a public constructor, but you can obtain a shared immutable instance by calling the static getInstance() method, specifying the desired compositing rule (one of the eight integer constants defined by the class), and specifying an alpha value. Alternatively, if you use an alpha value of 1.0, you can simply use one of the eight predefined AlphaComposite constants. Once you have obtained an AlphaComposite object, you use it by passing it to the setComposite() method of a Graphics2D object.

The most common way to use an AlphaComposite object is to specify the SRC_OVER compositing rule and an alpha value greater than 0 but less than 1. This causes the source colors you draw to be given the specified level of alpha transparency, so that they are blended with whatever colors already exist on the screen, making the destination colors appear to show through the translucent source colors. This technique allows you to achieve transparency effects using opaque colors when you are drawing onto a drawing surface, like a screen, that does not have an alpha channel.

The other compositing rules of AlphaComposite are best understood when both the source (your drawing) and the destination (the drawing surface) have alpha channels. For example, you can create translucent Color objects with the four-argument version of the Color() constructor, and you can create an off-screen image with an alpha channel by passing the constant TYPE_INT_ARGB to the java.awt.image.BufferedImage() constructor. (Once your compositing operation has been performed in an off-screen image with an alpha channel, you can view the results by copying the contents of the image to the screen, of course.) When your source and destination have alpha channels built in, you do not usually specify an alpha value for the AlphaComposite itself. If you do, however, the transparency values of the source colors are multiplied by this alpha value.

AlphaComposite supports the following compositing rules:

SRC

Replace the colors of the destination with the colors of the source, ignoring the destination colors and the transparency of the source.

SRC_OVER

Combine the source and destination colors combined based on the transparency of the source, so that the source appears to be drawn over the destination.

DST_OVER

Combine the source and destination colors based on the transparency of the destination, so that the source appears to be drawn underneath the destination.

SRC_IN

Draw the colors of the source using the transparency values of the destination, completely ignoring the colors of the destination.

SRC_OUT

Draw the colors of the source using the inverse transparency values of the destination.

DST_IN

Modify the colors of the destination using the alpha values of the source and ignoring the colors of the source.

DST_OUT

Modify the colors of the destination using the inverted alpha values of the source and ignoring the colors of the source.

CLEAR

Ignore the color and transparency of both the destination and the source. This clears the destination by making it a fully transparent black.

AWTEventJava 1.1
java.awtserializable event PJ1.1

This abstract class serves as the root event type for all AWT events in Java 1.1 and supersedes the Event class that was used in Java 1.0.

Each AWTEvent has a source object, as all EventObject objects do. You can query the source of an event with the inherited getSource() method. The AWTEvent class adds an event type, or ID, for every AWT event. Use getID() to query the type of an event. Subclasses of AWTEvent define various constants for this type field.

The various _MASK constants are used by applets and custom components that call the enableEvents() method of Component to receive various event types without having to register EventListener objects.

AWTEventMulticasterJava 1.1
java.awtPJ1.1

AWTEventMulticaster is a convenience class used when writing a custom AWT component. It provides an easy way to maintain a list of AWT EventListener objects and notify the listeners on that list when an event occurs.

AWTEventMulticaster implements each of the event listener interfaces defined in the java.awt.event package, which means that an AWTEventMulticaster object can serve as any desired type of event listener. (It also means that the class defines quite a few methods.) AWTEventMulticaster implements what amounts to a linked list of EventListener objects. When you invoke one of the EventListener methods of an AWTEventMulticaster, it invokes the same method on all of the EventListener objects in the linked list.

Rather than instantiate an AWTEventMulticaster object directly, you use the static add() and remove() methods of the class to add and remove EventListener objects from the linked list. Calling add() or remove() returns an AWTEventMulticaster with the appropriate EventListener object registered or deregistered. Using an AWTEventMulticaster is somewhat non-intuitive, so here is some example code that shows its use:

public class MyList extends Component {   // a class that sends ItemEvents
  // The head of a linked list of AWTEventMulticaster objects
  protected ItemListener listener = null;
  public void addItemListener(ItemListener l) {      // add a listener
    listener = AWTEventMulticaster.add(listener, l);
  }
  public void removeItemListener(ItemListener l) {   // remove a listener
    listener = AWTEventMulticaster.remove(listener, l);
  }
  protected void fireItemEvent(ItemEvent e) {        // notify all listeners
    if (listener != null) listener.itemStateChanged(e);
  }
  // The rest of the class goes here
}

AWTPermissionJava 1.2
java.awtserializable permission

This class encapsulates permissions for performing various AWT-related operations; applications do not typically use it. The name, or target, of a permission should be one of the following values: "accessClipboard", "accessEventQueue", "listenToAllAWTEvents", or "showWindowWithoutWarningBanner". Alternatively, a name of "*" implies all of these values. AWTPermission does not use actions, so the actions argument to the constructor should be null.

BasicStrokeJava 1.2
java.awt

This class defines properties that control how lines are drawn. By default, lines are one-pixel wide and solid. To change these attributes, pass a BasicStroke (or another implementation of Stroke) to the setStroke() method of a Graphics2D object. BasicStroke supports the following line attribute properties:

lineWidth

The thickness of the line.

endCap

The end cap style of the line. CAP_BUTT specifies that a line ends exactly at its end points, without caps. CAP_SQUARE causes a line to end with square caps that extend beyond the end points by a distance equal to one-half of the line width. CAP_ROUND specifies that a line ends with round caps with a radius of one-half of the line width.

lineJoin

The join style when two line segments meet at the vertex of a shape. JOIN_MITER specifies that the outside edges of the two line segments are extended as far as necessary until they intersect. JOIN_BEVEL causes the outside corners of the vertex to be joined with a straight line. JOIN_ROUND specifies that the vertex is rounded with a curve that has a radius of half the line width.

miterLimit

The maximum length of the miter used to connect two intersecting line segments. When two lines intersect at an acute angle and the line join style is JOIN_MITER, the length of the miter gets progressively longer as the angle between the lines gets smaller. This property imposes a maximum length on the miter; beyond this length, the miter is squared off.

dashArray

The pattern of dashes and spaces that make up a dashed line. This attribute is an array, where the first element and all the additional odd elements specify the lengths of dashes. The second element and all the additional even elements specify the lengths of the spaces. When the dash pattern is complete, it starts over at the beginning of the array, of course.

dashPhase

The distance into the dash pattern that line drawing begins. Note that this value is not an index into the dash array, but a distance. For example, if you've specified a dash of length 5 followed by a space of length 3 and want to begin your line with the space rather than the dash, you set this property to 5.

See Stroke for a discussion of how line drawing is performed in Java 2D.

BorderLayoutJava 1.0
java.awtserializable layout manager PJ1.1

A LayoutManager that arranges components that have been added to their Container (using the Container.add() method) with the names "North", "South", "East", "West", and "Center". These named components are arranged along the edges and in the center of the container. The hgap and vgap arguments to the BorderLayout constructor specify the desired horizontal and vertical spacing between adjacent components.

In Java 1.1, five constants were defined to represent these strings. In Java 1.2, an additional four constants have been added to represent the four sides of the container in a way that is independent of writing direction. For example, BEFORE_LINE_BEGINS is the same as WEST in locales where text is drawn from left to right, but is the same as EAST in locales where text is drawn from right to left.

Note that an application should never call the LayoutManager methods of this class directly; the Container for which the BorderLayout is registered does this.

CardLayoutJava 1.0
java.awtserializable layout manager PJ1.1

A LayoutManager that makes each of the components it manages as large as the container and ensures that only one is visible at a time. The standard LayoutManager methods are called by the Container object and should not be called directly by applet or application code. first(), last(), next(), previous(), and show() make a particular Component in the Container visible. The names with which the components are added to the container are used only by the show() method.

CheckboxGroupJava 1.0
java.awtserializable PJ1.1

A CheckboxGroup object enforces mutual exclusion (also known as radio button behavior) among any number of Checkbox buttons. A Checkbox component can specify a CheckboxGroup object when created or with its setCheckboxGroup() method. If a Checkbox within a CheckboxGroup object is selected, the CheckboxGroup ensures that the previously selected Checkbox becomes unselected.

ColorJava 1.0
java.awtserializable PJ1.1

This class describes a color in terms of the individual components of that color. These components are either float values that range between 0 and 1 or 8-bit integers that range from 0 to 255. Prior to Java 1.2, only the RGB (red, green, blue) color space was supported. With the advent of Java 2D, the Color class has been extended to support alpha transparency and arbitrary java.awt.color.ColorSpace objects. In addition, the Java 1.2 Color class implements the Paint interface and is used to perform Java 2D drawing and filling operations that use solid colors.

Color objects can be obtained in a number of ways. The Color() constructors allow color components to be directly specified. The class also defines several color constants. The SystemColor subclass defines other useful Color constants that are related to standard colors used on the system desktop. The static methods HSBtoRGB() and RGBtoHSB() convert between the RGB color space and the HSB (hue, saturation, brightness) color space and can be used to create colors specified using the more intuitive HSB color components. brighter() and darker() return variants on the current color and are useful for creating shading effects.

An RGB color can be expressed as a 24-bit number, where the top 8 bits specifies the red component, the middle 8 bits specifies the green component, and the low 8 bits specifies the blue component. Colors are often represented using a string representation of this 24-bit number. It is particularly common to use a hexadecimal representation for a color, since it keeps the red, green, and blue components distinct. For example, the string "0xFF0000" represents a bright red color: the red component has a value of 255, and both the green and blue components are 0. The static decode() method converts color strings encoded in this way to Color objects. Each getColor() method looks up the specified key in the system properties list and then decodes the value and returns the resulting Color or the specified default color, if no color is found in the properties list.

getRGB() returns the red, green, and blue components of a color as a 24-bit number. getRed(), getBlue(), getGreen(), and getAlpha() return the individual components of a color as integers. getComponents() is a generalized method that returns the color and transparency components of a color in a float array, using an optionally specified ColorSpace. getColorComponents() is similar but returns only the color components, not the transparency component. getRGBComponents() returns the color and alpha components as float values using the RGB color space. getRGBColorComponents() does the same but does not return the alpha component. Each of these methods either fills in the elements of a float[] array you provide or allocates one of its own, if you pass null.

ComponentJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1(mod)

Component is the superclass of all GUI components (except menu components) in the java.awt package. You cannot instantiate a Component directly; you must use a subclass.

Component defines many methods. Some of these are intended to be implemented by subclasses, including some that are for handling events. Other methods are used internally by the AWT. And many are useful utility methods for working with GUI components. getParent() returns the Container that contains a Component. setBackground(), setForeground(), and setFont() set the specified display attributes of a component. hide(), show(), enable(), and disable() perform the specified actions for a component. createImage() creates either an Image object from a specified ImageProducer or an off-screen image that can be drawn into and used for double-buffering during animation. Component also has quite a few deprecated methods, as a result of the Java 1.1 event model and the introduction of the JavaBeans method-naming conventions. The class defines numerous methods for handling many types of events, using the 1.0 and 1.1 event models, in both their high-level and low-level forms.

In Personal Java environments, the setCursor() method can be ignored. Also, the Personal Java API supports the isDoubleBuffered() method, even though it is not part of the Java 1.1 API from which Personal Java is derived.

ComponentOrientationJava 1.2
java.awtserializable

This class encapsulates differences in the way characters in GUI components are arranged into lines and the way lines are grouped into blocks. In western languages like English, characters are arranged left to right and lines are arranged top to bottom, but this is not true throughout the world. In Hebrew, for example, characters are arranged from right to left, and in traditional Chinese, characters are arranged from top to bottom.

The isHorizontal() and isLeftToRight() methods specify the necessary orientation information. The class defines two constants for commonly used orientation types. Authors of AWT, Swing, and JavaBeans components may want to take orientation into account when developing their components (see the getComponentOrientation() method of Component). Applications that use these components should typically not have to worry about this class.

You can query the default orientation for a given java.util.Locale by calling the static getOrientation() method. Set the componentOrientation property of all components in a window by passing a ResourceBundle object to the applyResourceBundle() method of a Window. This looks up the "Orientation" resource in the bundle and, if it is not found, uses the default orientation for the locale of the bundle.

public final class ComponentOrientation implements Serializable {
// No Constructor
// Public Constants
public static final ComponentOrientation LEFT_TO_RIGHT ;

CompositeJava 1.2
java.awt

This interface defines how two colors are combined to yield a composite color. When Java 2D performs a drawing operation, it uses a Composite object to combine the colors it wants to draw with the colors that already exist on the screen or in the off-screen image.

The default compositing operation is to draw the new color on top of the color already on the screen. If the new color is fully opaque, the existing color is ignored. If the new color is partially transparent, however, it is combined with the color already on the screen to produce a composite color. To specify a different compositing operation, pass a Composite object to the setComposite() method of a Graphics2D object.

AlphaComposite is a commonly used implementation of Composite; it combines colors in a number of possible ways based on their alpha-transparency levels. AlphaComposite is suitable for most uses; very few applications should have to define a custom implementation of Composite.

Note that the only method of Composite, createContext(), does not perform compositing itself. Instead, it returns a CompositeContext object suitable for compositing colors encoded using the specified color models and rendering hints. It is the CompositeContext object that performs the actual work of combining colors.

public abstract interface Composite {
// Public Instance Methods
public abstract CompositeContext createContext (java.awt.image.ColorModel srcColorModel, java.awt.image.ColorModel dstColorModel, RenderingHints hints);
}

Implementations: AlphaComposite

Passed To: Graphics2D.setComposite()

Returned By: Graphics2D.getComposite()

CompositeContextJava 1.2
java.awt

This interface defines the methods that do the actual work of compositing colors. The CompositeContext interface is used internally by Java 2D; applications never need to call CompositeContext methods. And only applications that implement a custom Composite class need to implement this interface.

A CompositeContext object holds the state for a particular compositing operation (in multi-threaded programs, there may be several compositing operations in progress at once). A Graphics2D object creates CompositeContext objects as needed by calling the createContext() method of its Composite object.

Once a CompositeContext object has been created, its compose() method is responsible for combining the colors of the first two Raster objects passed to it and storing the resulting colors in the specified WriteableRaster. (This WriteableRaster is usually the same object as one of the first two arguments.) The dispose() method should free any resources held by the CompositeContext. It is called when the Graphics2D no longer requires the CompositeContext.

public abstract interface CompositeContext {
// Public Instance Methods
public abstract void compose (java.awt.image.Raster src, java.awt.image.Raster dstIn, java.awt.image.WritableRaster dstOut);

ContainerJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1

This class implements a component that can contain other components. You cannot instantiate Container directly but must use one of its subclasses, such as Panel, Frame, or Dialog. Once a Container is created, you can set its LayoutManager with setLayout(), add components to it with add(), and remove them with remove(). getComponents() returns an array of the components contained in a Container. locate() determines within which contained component a specified point falls. list() produces helpful debugging output.

CursorJava 1.1
java.awtserializable PJ1.1

This class represents a mouse cursor. It defines a number of constants, which represent the 14 predefined cursors provided by Java 1.0 and Java 1.1. You can pass one of these constants to the constructor to create a cursor of the specified type. Call getType() to determine the type of an existing Cursor object. Since there are only a fixed number of available cursors, the static method getPredefinedCursor() is more efficient than the Cursor() constructor--it maintains a cache of Cursor objects that can be reused. The static getDefaultCursor() method returns the default cursor for the underlying system.

In Java 1.2, the Cursor class has a new getSystemCustomCursor() method that returns a named cursor defined by a system administrator in a systemwide cursors.properties file. Since there is no way to query the list of system-specific custom cursors, however, this method is rarely used. Instead, you can create your own custom cursor by calling the createCustomCursor() method of the Toolkit object. You should first check whether custom cursors are supported by calling the getBestCursorSize() method of Toolkit. If this method indicates a width or height of 0, custom cursors are not supported (by either the Java implementation or the underlying windowing system).

DialogJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1(mod)

This class represents a dialog box window. A Dialog can be modal, so that it blocks user input to all other windows until dismissed. It is optional whether a dialog has a title and whether it is resizable. A Dialog object is a Container, so you can add Component objects to it in the normal way with the add() method. The default LayoutManager for Dialog is BorderLayout. You can specify a different LayoutManager object with setLayout(). Call the pack() method of Window to initiate layout management of the dialog and set its initial size appropriately. Call show() to pop a dialog up and setVisible(false) to pop it down. For modal dialogs, show() blocks until the dialog is dismissed. Event handling continues while show() is blocked, using a new event dispatcher thread. In Java 1.0, show() is inherited from Window. Call the Window.dispose() method when the Dialog is no longer needed so that its window system resources may be reused.

In Personal Java environments, support for modeless dialogs is optional, and the Dialog() constructors can throw an exception if you attempt to create a modeless dialog. Also, the setResizable() method is optional, and calls to it can be ignored.

DimensionJava 1.0
java.awtcloneable serializable PJ1.1

This class contains two integer fields that describe a width and a height of something. The fields are public and can be manipulated directly.

In Java 1.0 and Java 1.1, Dimension is a subclass of Object. In Java 1.2, with the introduction of Java 2D, it has become a concrete subclass of java.awt.geom.Dimension2D. Contrast Dimension with Dimension2D,which represents the width and height with double values.

EventJava 1.0
java.awtserializable PJ1.1

This class contains public instance variables that describe some kind of GUI event. In Java 1.1, this class has been superseded by AWTEvent and the java.awt.event package.

The class contains a large number of constants. Some of the constants specify the event type and are values for the id variable. Other constants are values for keys, such as the function keys, that do not have ASCII (Latin-1) values and are set on the key field. Other constants are mask values that are ORed into the modifiers field to describe the state of the modifier keys on the keyboard. The target field is very important--it is the object for which the event occurred. The when field specifies when the event occurred. The x and y fields specify the mouse coordinates at which it occurred. Finally, the arg field is a value specific to the type of the event. Not all fields have valid values for all types of events.

EventQueueJava 1.1
java.awtPJ1.1

This class implements an event queue for AWT events in Java 1.1. When an EventQueue is created, a new thread is automatically created and started to remove events from the front of the queue and dispatch them to the appropriate component. It is this thread, created by the EventQueue, that notifies event listeners and executes most of the code in a typical GUI-driven application.

An application can create and use its own private EventQueue, but all AWT events are placed on and dispatched from a single system EventQueue. Use the getSystemEventQueue() method of the Toolkit class to get the system EventQueue object.

getNextEvent() removes and returns the event at the front of the queue. It blocks if there are no events in the queue. peekEvent() returns the event at the front of the queue without removing it from the queue. Passed an optional AWTEventid field, it returns the first event of the specified type. Finally, postEvent() places a new event on the end of the event queue.

In Java 1.2, EventQueue defines three useful static methods. isDispatchThread() returns true if the calling thread is the AWT event dispatch thread. To avoid thread-safety issues, all modifications to AWT and Swing components should be done from this dispatch thread. If another thread needs to operate on a component, it should wrap the desired operation in a Runnable object and pass that object to invokeLater() or invokeAndWait(). These methods bundle the Runnable object into an ActiveEvent that is placed on the queue. When the ActiveEvent reaches the head of the queue, the Runnable code is invoked by the event dispatch thread and can safely modify any AWT and Swing components. invokeLater() returns immediately, while invokeAndWait() blocks until the Runnable code has been run. It is an error to call invokeAndWait() from the event dispatch thread itself. See also ActiveEvent and javax.swing.SwingUtilities. Except for these useful static methods, most applications do not need to use the EventQueue class at all; they can simply rely on the system to dispatch events automatically.

FileDialogJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1(opt)

This class represents a file selection dialog box. The constants LOAD and SAVE are values of an optional constructor argument that specifies whether the dialog should be an Open File dialog or a Save As dialog. You may specify a FilenameFilter object to control the files that are displayed in the dialog.

The inherited show() method pops the dialog up. For dialogs of this type, show() blocks, not returning until the user has selected a file and dismissed the dialog (which pops down automatically--you don't have to call hide()). Once show() has returned, use getFile() to get the name of the file the user selected.

FlowLayoutJava 1.0
java.awtserializable layout manager PJ1.1

A LayoutManager that arranges components in a container likes words on a page: from left to right and top to bottom. It fits as many components as it can in a row before moving on to the next row. The constructor allows you to specify one of five constants as an alignment value for the rows. LEFT, CENTER, and RIGHT specify left, center, and right alignment, obviously. LEADING and TRAILING alignment are the same as LEFT and RIGHT alignment in locales where writing is done left to right, but they have the opposite meaning in locales where writing is done primarily right to left. You can also specify the horizontal spacing between components and the vertical spacing between rows.

Applications should never call the LayoutManager methods of this class directly; the Container for which the FlowLayout is registered does this.

FontJava 1.0
java.awtserializable PJ1.1

This class represents a font. The Font() constructor is passed a name, a style, and a point size. The style should be one of the constants PLAIN, BOLD, or ITALIC or the sum BOLD+ITALIC.

The allowed font names have changed with each release of Java. In Java 1.0, the supported font names are "TimesRoman", "Helvetica", "Courier", "Dialog", "DialogInput", and "Symbol". In Java 1.1, "serif", "sansserif", and "monospaced" should be used in preference to the first three names.

With the introduction of Java 2D, you may continue to use these logical names, but you are not limited to them. In Java 1.2, you may specify the name of any font family available on the system. These are names such as "Times New Roman," "Arial," "New Century Schoolbook," "Bookman," and so on. You can obtain a list of available font families by calling the getAvailableFontFamilyNames() method of GraphicsEnvironment. You may also pass the name of a specific font face to the Font() constructor. These are names such as "Copperplate DemiBold Oblique." When you specify the name of a specific font face, you typically specify a font style of PLAIN, since the style you want is implicit in the name.

With Java 1.2, you can also create a font by passing a Map object that contains attribute names and values to either the Font() constructor or the static getFont() method. The attribute names and values are defined by java.awt.font.TextAttribute. The TextAttribute constants FAMILY, WEIGHT, POSTURE, and SIZE identify the attributes of interest.

In Java 1.2, new fonts can be derived from old fonts in a variety of ways, using the deriveFont() methods. Most generally, the glyphs of a font may all be transformed with the specified AffineTransform.

If you need to know the height or width (or other metrics) of characters or strings drawn using a Font, call the getFontMetrics() method of a Graphics object to obtain a FontMetrics object. The methods of this object return font measurement information as integer values. In Java 1.2, you can obtain higher-precision floating-point font measurements with the getLineMetrics(), getMaxCharBounds(), and getStringBounds() methods of a Font. These methods require a FontRenderContext, which is obtained by calling the getFontRenderContext() method of Graphics2D.

The canDisplay() method tests whether a Font can display a given character (i.e., whether the font contains a glyph for that character). canDisplayUpTo() tests whether the Font can display all the characters in a string and returns the index of the first character it cannot display.

FontMetricsJava 1.0
java.awtserializable PJ1.1

This class represents font metrics for a specified Font. The methods allow you to determine the overall metrics for the font (ascent, descent, and so on) and compute the width of strings that are to be displayed in a particular font. The FontMetrics() constructor is protected; you can obtain a FontMetrics object for a font with the getFontMetrics() method of Component, Graphics, or Toolkit.

In Java 1.2, with the introduction of Java 2D, you can obtain more precise (floating-point) metrics using the getLineMetrics(), getMaxCharBounds(), and getStringBounds() methods of FontMetrics or a Font object itself. See also java.awt.font.LineMetrics.

FrameJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1(mod)

This class represents an optionally resizable top-level application window with a titlebar and other platform-dependent window decorations. setTitle() specifies a title, setMenuBar() specifies a menu bar, setCursor() specifies a cursor, and setIconImage() specifies an icon for the window. Call the pack() method of Window to initiate layout management of the window and set its initial size appropriately. Call the show() method of Window to make the window appear and be brought to the top of the window stack. Call setVisible(false) to make the window disappear. Call setState(Frame.ICONIFIED) to iconify the window, and call setState(Frame.NORMAL) to deiconify it. Use getState() to determine whether the window is iconified or not. Call the static getFrames() method to obtain an array of all Frame objects that have been created by the application or applet. Call the dispose() method when the Frame is no longer needed, so that it can release its window system resources for reuse.

The constants defined by this class specify various cursor types. As of Java 1.1, these constants and the cursor methods of Frame are deprecated in favor of the Cursor class and cursor methods of Component.

Personal Java environments can support only a single Frame object, and any calls to the Frame() constructor after the first can throw an exception.

GradientPaintJava 1.2
java.awt

This implementation of Paint fills shapes with a color gradient. To use a GradientPaint object for filling shapes, pass it to the setPaint() method of a Graphics2D object.

The color of the fill varies linearly between a color C1 and another color C2. The orientation of the color gradient is defined by a line between points P1 and P2. For example, if these points define a horizontal line, the color of the fill varies from left to right. If P1 is at the upper left of a rectangle and P2 is at the lower right, the fill color varies from upper left to lower right.

Color C1 is always used at point P1 and color C2 is used at P2. If the area to be filled includes points outside of the fill region defined by P1 and P2, these points can be filled in one of two ways. If the GradientPaint object is created with the cyclic constructor argument set to true, colors repeatedly cycle from C1 to C2 and back to C1 again. If cyclic is specified as false or if this argument is omitted, the gradient does not repeat. When an acyclic GradientPaint object is used, all points beyond P1 are given the color C1, and all points beyond C2 are given the color P2.

GraphicsJava 1.0
java.awtPJ1.1(mod)

This abstract class defines a device-independent interface to graphics. It specifies methods for drawing lines, filling areas, painting images, copying areas, and clipping graphics output. Specific subclasses of Graphics are implemented for different platforms and different graphics output devices. A Graphics object cannot be created directly through a constructor--it must either be obtained with the getGraphics() method of a Component or an Image or copied from an existing Graphics object with create(). When a Graphics object is no longer needed, you should call dispose() to free up the window system resources it uses.

In Personal Java environments, the setXORMode() method may be unsupported.

Graphics2DJava 1.2
java.awt

This class is the Java 2D graphics context that encapsulates all drawing and filling operations. It generalizes and extends the Graphics class. A number of attributes control how the Graphics2D object performs drawing and filling operations. You can set these attributes with the following methods:

setBackground()

Specifies the background color used by the clearRect() method of the Graphics object. Prior to Java 2D, the background color could not be set.

setClip()

Sets the clipping region, outside of which no drawing is done. This method is inherited from the Graphics object. Use setClip() to establish an initial clipping region and then use clip() to narrow that region by intersecting it with other regions.

setComposite()

Specifies a Composite object (typically an instance of AlphaComposite) that should be used to combine drawing colors with the colors that are already present on the drawing surface.

setFont()

Sets the default Font object used to draw text. This is a Graphics method, inherited by Graphics2D.

setPaint()

Specifies the Paint object that controls the color or pattern used for drawing. See Color, GradientPaint, and TexturePaint.

setRenderingHints()

Sets hints about how drawing should be done. This method allows you to turn antialiasing and color dithering on and off, for example. You can also set hints with addRenderingHints() and setRenderingHint().

setStroke()

Specifies the Stroke object (typically an instance of BasicStroke) used to trace the outline of shapes that are drawn. The Stroke object effectively defines the pen that is used for drawing operations.

setTransform()

Sets the AffineTransform object used to convert from user coordinates to device coordinates. Note that you do not usually call setTransform() directly, but instead modify the current transform with transform() or the more specific rotate(), scale(), shear(), and translate() methods.

Once you have used these methods to configure a Graphics2D object as desired, you can proceed to draw with it. The following methods are commonly used:

draw()

Draw the outline of a Shape, using the line style specified by the current Stroke object and the color or pattern specified by the current Paint object. The java.awt.geom package contains a number of commonly used implementations of the Shape interface.

fill()

Fill the interior of a Shape, using the color or pattern specified by the current Paint object.

drawString()

Draw the specified text using the specified Font object and Paint object. drawGlyphVector() is similar. See also the drawString() methods inherited from Graphics.

drawImage()

Draw an Image with an optional filtering operation and/or an optional transformation. Also drawRenderableImage() and drawRenderedImage(). See also the drawImage() methods inherited from Graphics.

GraphicsConfigTemplateJava 1.2
java.awtserializable

This abstract class is designed to support a matching operation that selects the best configuration from an array of GraphicsConfiguration objects. The best configuration is defined as the one that most closely matches the desired criteria. GraphicsConfigTemplate does not define what those criteria might be, however: the criteria and the matching algorithm are left entirely to the concrete subclass that provides definitions of the abstract methods.

This class in not commonly used. There are not any implementations of GraphicsConfigTemplate built into Java 1.2. On many platforms, such as Windows, a screen has only one available GraphicsConfiguration, so there is never a need to try to find the best one.

}

Hierarchy: Object-->GraphicsConfigTemplate(Serializable)

Passed To: GraphicsDevice.getBestConfiguration()

GraphicsConfigurationJava 1.2
java.awt

This class describes a configuration of a graphics device. It stores information about the available resolution and colors of the device.

Resolution information is stored in the form of AffineTransform objects. getDefaultTransform() returns the default transform used to map user coordinates to device coordinates. For screen devices, this is usually an identity transform: by default, user coordinates are measured in screen pixels. For printers, the default transform is such that 72 units in user space maps to one inch on the printed page. getNormalizingTransform() returns an AffineTransform that, when concatenated to the default transform, yields a coordinate system in which 72 units of user space equal one inch on the screen or on a printed piece of paper. (For printers, this normalizing transform is obviously the identity transform, since the default transform is already 72 units to the inch.)

Color information about the device is returned by getColorModel(), in the form of a java.awt.image.ColorModel object. A ColorModel maps pixel values to their individual color components. The zero-argument form of getColorModel() returns the default color model for the configuration. If you pass one of the constants defined by the Transparency interface, the method returns a ColorModel object suitable for the configuration and the specified level of transparency.

createCompatibleImage() creates an off-screen BufferedImage object with the specified size and transparency that is compatible with the device color model. However, that most applications create off-screen images using a higher-level method, such as the createImage() method of Component.

GraphicsDeviceJava 1.2
java.awt

The GraphicsDevice class represents a device capable of displaying graphics, such as a computer monitor, a printer, or an off-screen image.

A GraphicsDevice object stores the type of the device (getType()) and an identifying string (getIDString()). More importantly, it contains a list of possible configurations of the device. For example, a screen may be configured at different resolutions and color depths. This configuration information is stored by the GraphicsDevice as GraphicsConfiguration objects.

GraphicsDevice does not have a public constructor. Instances that represent screen devices can be obtained by calling the getDefaultScreenDevice() method of GraphicsEnvironment. More generally, the GraphicsDevice used by any Graphics2D object can be obtained by calling getDeviceConfiguration() on that object to obtain a GraphicsConfiguration, and then calling getDevice() on that object to get its GraphicsDevice.

public abstract class GraphicsDevice {
// Protected Constructors
protected GraphicsDevice ();
// Public Constants
public static final int TYPE_IMAGE_BUFFER ; =2
public static final int TYPE_PRINTER ; =1

public abstract int getType ();
// Public Instance Methods
public GraphicsConfiguration getBestConfiguration (GraphicsConfigTemplate gct);
}

GraphicsEnvironmentJava 1.2
java.awt

This class describes a Java 2D graphics environment. This class does not have a public constructor; use getLocalGraphicsEnvironment() to obtain the GraphicsEnvironment object that represents the environment available to the Java VM.

A graphics environment consists of a list of available screens and a list of available fonts. The screens are represented by GraphicsDevice objects. Use getDefaultScreenDevice() to obtain information about the default screen. Although the GraphicsDevice class can also describe printers and off-screen images, the methods of GraphicsEnvironment return only screen devices. Therefore, it is not possible to use the GraphicsEnvironment class to query the available printers.

getAllFonts() returns a list of all fonts available on the system. Use caution when calling this method, however, because on some systems it can take a long time to enumerate all installed fonts. Note that the fonts returned by this method all have a size of 1 unit; a font must be scaled to the desired size by calling deriveFont() on the Font. When possible, it is usually better to call getAvailableFontFamilyNames() to list available font families, then create only the individual Font objects desired.

GridBagConstraintsJava 1.0
java.awtcloneable serializable PJ1.1

This class encapsulates the instance variables that tell a GridBagLayout how to position a given Component within its Container:

gridx, gridy

The grid position of the component. The RELATIVE constant specifies a position to the right of or below the previous component.

gridwidth, gridheight

The height and width of the component in grid cells. The constant REMAINDER specifies that the component is the last one and should get all remaining cells.

fill

The dimensions of a component that should grow when the space available for it is larger than its default size. Legal values are the constants NONE, BOTH, HORIZONTAL, and VERTICAL.

ipadx, ipady

Internal padding to add on each side of the component in each dimension. This padding increases the size of the component beyond its default minimum size.

insets

An Insets object that specifies margins to appear on all sides of the component.

anchor

How the component should be displayed within its grid cells when it is smaller than those cells. The CENTER constant and the compass-point constants are legal values.

weightx, weighty

How extra space in the container should be distributed among its components in the X and Y dimensions. Larger weights specify that a component should receive a proportionally larger amount of extra space. A 0 weight indicates that the component should not receive any extra space. These weights specify the resizing behavior of the component and its container.

GridBagLayoutJava 1.0
java.awtserializable layout manager PJ1.1

The most complicated and most powerful LayoutManager in the java.awt package. GridBagLayout divides a container into a grid of rows and columns (that need not have the same width and height) and places the components into this grid, adjusting the size of the grid cells as necessary to ensure that components do not overlap. Each component controls how it is positioned within this grid by specifying a number of variables (or constraints) in a GridBagConstraints object. Do not confuse this class with the much simpler GridLayout, which arranges components in a grid of equally sized cells.

Use setConstraints() to specify a GridBagConstraints object for each of the components in the container. Or, as of Java 1.1, specify the GridBagConstraints object when adding the component to the container with add(). The variables in this object specify the position of the component in the grid and the number of horizontal and vertical grid cells that the component occupies and also control other important aspects of component layout. See GridBagConstraints for more information on these constraint variables. setConstraints() makes a copy of the constraints object, so you may reuse a single object in your code.

Applications should never call the LayoutManager methods of this class directly; the Container for which the GridBagLayout is registered does this.

java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1

This class is a Component that displays a single specified line of read-only text. The constant values specify the text alignment within the component and can be specified in a call to the constructor or used with setAlignment().

LayoutManagerJava 1.0
java.awtlayout manager PJ1.1

This interface defines the methods necessary for a class to be able to arrange Component objects within a Container object. Most programs use one of the existing classes that implement this interface: BorderLayout, CardLayout, FlowLayout, GridBagConstraints, GridBagLayout, or GridLayout.

To define a new class that lays out components, you must implement each of the methods defined by this interface. addLayoutComponent() is called when a component is added to the container. removeLayoutComponent() is called when a component is removed. layoutContainer() should perform the actual positioning of components by setting the size and position of each component in the specified container. minimumLayoutSize() should return the minimum container width and height that the LayoutManager needs in order to lay out its components. preferredLayoutSize() should return the optimal container width and height for the LayoutManager to lay out its components.

As of Java 1.1, layout managers should implement the LayoutManager2 interface, which is an extension of this one. A Java applet or application never directly calls any of these LayoutManager methods--the Container object for which the LayoutManager is registered does that.

public abstract interface LayoutManager {
// Public Instance Methods
public abstract void addLayoutComponent (String name, Component comp);
public abstract void layoutContainer (Container parent);
public abstract Dimension minimumLayoutSize (Container parent);
public abstract Dimension preferredLayoutSize (Container parent);

LayoutManager2Java 1.1
java.awtlayout manager PJ1.1

This interface is an extension of the LayoutManager interface. It defines additional layout management methods for layout managers that perform constraint-based layout. GridBagLayout is an example of a constraint-based layout manager--each component added to the layout is associated with a GridBagConstraints object that specifies the constraints on how the component is to be laid out.

Java programs do not directly invoke the methods of this interface--they are used by the Container object for which the layout manager is registered.

public abstract interface LayoutManager2 extends LayoutManager {
// Public Instance Methods
public abstract void addLayoutComponent (Component comp, Object constraints);
public abstract float getLayoutAlignmentX (Container target);

ListJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1

This class is a Component that graphically displays a list of strings. The list is scrollable if necessary. The constructor takes optional arguments that specify the number of visible rows in the list and whether selection of more than one item is allowed. The various instance methods allow strings to be added and removed from the List and allow the selected item or items to be queried.

MediaTrackerJava 1.0
java.awtserializable PJ1.1

This class provides a convenient way to asynchronously load and keep track of the status of any number of Image objects. You can use it to load one or more images and then wait until those images have been completely loaded and are ready to be used.

The addImage() method registers an image to be loaded and tracked, assigning it a specified identifier value. waitForID() loads all the images that have been assigned the specified identifier and returns when they have all finished loading or it receives an error. isErrorAny() and isErrorID() check whether any errors have occurred while loading images. statusAll() and statusID() return the status of all images and of all images with the specified identifier, respectively. The return value of each of these methods is one of the defined constants.

MenuJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1(opt)

This class represents a pulldown menu pane that appears within a MenuBar. Each Menu has a label that appears in the MenuBar and can optionally be a tear-off menu. The add() and addSeparator() methods add individual items to a Menu.

MenuBarJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1(opt)

This class represents a menu bar. add() adds Menu objects to the menu bar, and setHelpMenu() adds a Help menu in a reserved location of the menu bar. A MenuBar object may be displayed within a Frame by passing it to the setMenuBar() of the Frame.

MenuItemJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1

This class encapsulates a menu item with a specified textual label. A MenuItem can be added to a menu pane with the add() method of Menu. The disable() method makes an item nonselectable; you might use it to gray out a menu item when the command it represents is not valid in the current context. The enable() method makes an item selectable again. In Java 1.1, use setActionCommand() to specify an identifying string that is included in ActionEvent events generated by the menu item.

public class MenuItem extends MenuComponent {

MenuShortcutJava 1.1
java.awtserializable PJ1.1(opt)

This class represents a keystroke used to select a MenuItem without actually pulling down the menu. A MenuShortcut object can be specified for a MenuItem when the MenuItem is created or by calling the item's setShortcut() method. The keystroke sequence for the menu shortcut automatically appears in the label for the menu item, so you do not need to add this information yourself.

When you create a MenuShortcut, you specify the keycode of the shortcut--this is one of the VK_ constants defined by java.awt.event.KeyEvent and is not always the same as a corresponding character code. You may optionally specify a boolean value that, if true, indicates that the MenuShortcut requires the Shift key to be held down.

Note that menu shortcuts are triggered in a platform-dependent way. When you create a shortcut, you specify only the keycode and an optional Shift modifier. The shortcut is not triggered, however, unless an additional modifier key is held down. On Windows platforms, for example, the Ctrl key is used for menu shortcuts. You can query the platform-specific menu shortcut key with the getMenuShortcutKeyMask() method of Toolkit.

public class MenuShortcut implements Serializable {
// Public Constructors
public MenuShortcut (int key);
public MenuShortcut (int key, boolean useShiftModifier);

PaintJava 1.2
java.awt

This interface defines a color or pattern used by Java 2D in drawing and filling operations. Color is the simplest implementation: it performs drawing and filling using a solid color. GradientPaint and TexturePaint are two other commonly used implementations. Most applications can simply use these predefined Paint implementations and do not need to implement this interface themselves.

Because a single Paint object may be used by different threads with different Graphics2D objects, the Paint object does not perform painting operations itself. Instead, it defines a createContext() method that returns a PaintContext object that is capable of performing painting in a particular context. See PaintContext for details.

public abstract interface Paint extends Transparency {
// Public Instance Methods
public abstract PaintContext createContext (java.awt.image.ColorModel cm, Rectangle deviceBounds, java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D userBounds, java.awt.geom.AffineTransform xform, RenderingHints hints);

Returned By: Graphics2D.getPaint()

PaintContextJava 1.2
java.awt

This interface defines the methods that do the actual work of computing the colors to be used in Java 2D drawing and filling operations. PaintContext is used internally by Java 2D; applications never need to call any of its methods. Only applications that implement custom Paint objects need to implement this interface.

A Graphics2D object creates a PaintContext object by calling the createContext() method of its Paint object. The getRaster() method of the PaintContext is called to perform the actual painting; this method must return a java.awt.image.Raster object that contains the appropriate colors for the specified rectangle. The Graphics2D object calls dispose() when the PaintContext is no longer needed. The dispose() method should release any system resources held by the PaintContext.

public abstract interface PaintContext {
// Public Instance Methods
public abstract void dispose ();
public abstract java.awt.image.ColorModel getColorModel ();
public abstract java.awt.image.Raster getRaster (int x, int y, int w, int h);
}

PanelJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1

This class is a Container that is itself contained within a container. Unlike Frame and Dialog, Panel is a container that does not create a separate window of its own. Panel is suitable for holding portions of a larger interface within a parent Frame or Dialog or within another Panel. (Because Applet is a subclass of Panel, applets are displayed in a Panel that is contained within a web browser or applet viewer.) The default LayoutManager for a Panel is FlowLayout.

// Public Constructors

PointJava 1.0
java.awtcloneable serializable PJ1.1

This class holds the integer X and Y coordinates of a two-dimensional point. The move() and setLocation() methods set the coordinates, and the translate() method adds specified values to the coordinates. Also, the x and y fields are public and may be manipulated directly.

In Java 1.0 and Java 1.1, Point is a subclass of Object. In Java 1.2, with the introduction of Java 2D, Point has become a concrete subclass of java.awt.geom.Point2D. Contrast Point with Point2D.Float and Point2D.Double, which use float and double fields to represent the coordinates of the point.

public class Point extends java.awt.geom.Point2D implements Serializable {
// Public Constructors

PolygonJava 1.0
java.awtserializable shape PJ1.1

This class defines a polygon as an array of points. The points of the polygon can be passed to the constructor or specified with addPoint(). getBoundingBox() returns the smallest Rectangle that contains the polygon, and inside() tests whether a specified point is within the Polygon. Note that the arrays of X and Y points and the number of points in the polygon (not necessarily the same as the array size) are defined as public variables. Polygon objects are used when drawing polygons with the drawPolygon() and fillPolygon() methods of Graphics. In Java 2, Polygon has become part of the Java 2D API. It implements the Shape interface and can be passed to the draw() and fill() method of a Graphics2D object.

public class Polygon implements Serializable, Shape {
// Public Constructors
public Polygon ();
public Polygon (int[ ] xpoints, int[ ] ypoints, int npoints);

PopupMenuJava 1.1
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1(mod)

PopupMenu is a simple subclass of Menu that represents a popup menu rather than a pulldown menu. You create a PopupMenu just as you would create a Menu object. The main difference is that a popup menu must be popped up in response to a user event by calling its show() method. Another difference is that, unlike a Menu, which can only appear within a MenuBar or another Menu, a PopupMenu can be associated with any component in a graphical user interface. A PopupMenu is associated with a component by calling the add() method of the component.

Popup menus are popped up by the user in different ways on different platforms. In order to hide this platform dependency, the MouseEvent class defines the isPopupTrigger() method. If this method returns true, the specified MouseEvent represents the platform-specific popup menu trigger event, and you should use the show() method to display your PopupMenu. Note that the X and Y coordinates passed to show() should be in the coordinate system of the specified Component.

Support for nested popup menus is optional in Personal Java environments, and the inherited add() method may throw an exception if you attempt to add a Menu child to a PopupMenu.

public class PopupMenu extends Menu {
// Public Constructors
public PopupMenu ();
public PopupMenu (String label);
// Public Instance Methods
public void show (Component origin, int x, int y);

PrintGraphicsJava 1.1
java.awtPJ1.1

The Graphics object returned by the getGraphics() method of PrintJob always implements this PrintGraphics interface. You can use this fact to distinguish a Graphics object that draws to the screen from one that generates hardcopy. This is a useful thing to do in a paint() method, when you want to generate hardcopy that differs somewhat from what is being displayed on-screen.

The getPrintJob() method defined by this interface can be used to return the PrintJob with which the PrintGraphics object is associated.

public abstract interface PrintGraphics {
// Public Instance Methods
public abstract PrintJob getPrintJob ();
}
PrintJobJava 1.1
java.awtPJ1.1

A PrintJob object represents a single printing session, or job. The job may consist of one or more individual pages.

PrintJob is abstract, so it cannot be instantiated directly. Instead, you must call the getPrintJob() method of the Toolkit object. Calling this method posts an appropriate print dialog box to request information from the user, such as which printer should be used. An application has no control over this process, but may pass a Properties object in which the dialog stores the user's printing preferences. This Properties object can then be reused when initiating subsequent print jobs.

Once a PrintJob object has been obtained from the Toolkit object, you call the getGraphics() method of PrintJob to obtain a Graphics object. Any drawing done with this Graphics object is printed, instead of displayed on-screen. The object returned by getGraphics() implements the PrintGraphics interface. Do not make any assumptions about the initial state of the Graphics object; in particular, note that you must specify a font before you can draw any text.

When you are done drawing all the desired output on a page, call the dispose() method of the Graphics object to force the current page to be printed. You can call getGraphics() and dispose() repeatedly to print any number of pages required by your application. However, if the lastPageFirst() method returns true, the user has requested that pages be printed in reverse order. It is up to your application to implement this feature.

The getPageDimension() method returns the size of the page in pixels. getPageResolution() returns the resolution of the page in pixels per inch. This resolution is closer to a screen resolution (70 to 100 pixels per inch) than a typical printer resolution (300 to 600 pixels per inch). This means that on-screen drawings can be drawn directly to the printer without scaling. It also means, however, that you cannot take full advantage of the extra resolution provided by printers.

When you are done with a PrintJob and have called dispose() on the Graphics object returned by getGraphics(), you should call end() to terminate the job.

As of Java 1.2, the PrintJob class has been superseded by a more complete printing API provided in the java.awt.print package.

public abstract class PrintJob {
// Public Constructors
public PrintJob ();
// Property Accessor Methods (by property name)
public abstract Graphics getGraphics ();
public abstract Dimension getPageDimension ();

RectangleJava 1.0
java.awtcloneable serializable shape PJ1.1

This class defines a rectangle using four integer values: the X and Y coordinates of its upper-left corner and its width and height. The instance methods perform various tests and transformations on the rectangle. The x, y, width, and height methods are public and may thus be manipulated directly. Rectangle is used for a variety of purposes throughout java.awt and related packages.

In Java 1.0 and Java 1.1, Rectangle is a subclass of Object. In Java 2, with the introduction of Java 2D, Rectangle has become a concrete subclass of java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D. Contrast Rectangle with Rectangle2D.Float and Rectangle2D.Double, which use float and double fields to represent the coordinates of the rectangle.

RenderingHintsJava 1.2
java.awtcloneable collection

This class contains a set of key-to-value mappings that provide hints to Java 2D about the speed-versus-quality trade-offs it should make. The constants that begin with KEY_ are the hints, while the constants that begin with VALUE_ are the values that may be specified for those hints. Use put() to add a hint to the RenderingHints object. Once you have specified all desired hints, pass the RenderingHints object to the setRenderingHints() or addRenderingHints() method of a Graphics2D object. If you want to set only a single rendering hint, you don't need to create a RenderingHints object at all; you can simply pass a key and value to the setRenderingHint() method of Graphics2D.

ScrollPaneJava 1.1
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1(mod)

This Container class creates horizontal and vertical scrollbars surrounding a viewport and allows a single child component to be displayed and scrolled within this viewport. Typically, the child of the ScrollPane is larger than the ScrollPane itself, so scrollbars allow the user to select the currently visible portion.

When you call the ScrollPane() constructor, you may optionally specify a scrollbar display policy, which should be one of the three constants defined by this class. If you do not specify a policy, ScrollPane uses the SCROLLBARS_AS_NEEDED policy. Personal Java environments may provide a scrolling mechanism other than scrollbars. In this case, the scrollbar display policy may be ignored.

A program can programmatically scroll the child within the viewport by calling setScrollPosition(). getHAdjustable() and getVAdjustable() return the horizontal and vertical Adjustable objects that control scrolling (typically these are not actually instances of Scrollbar). You can use these Adjustable objects to specify the unit and block increment values for the scrollbars. You can also directly set the Adjustable value as an alternative to calling setScrollPosition(), but you should not set other values of an Adjustable object.

Use setSize() to set the size of the ScrollPane container. You may want to take the size of the scrollbars into account when computing the overall container size--use getHScrollbarHeight() and getVScrollbarWidth() to obtain these values.

ScrollPane overrides the printComponents() method of Container, so that when a ScrollPane is printed, the entire child component, rather than only the currently visible portion, is printed.

ShapeJava 1.1
java.awtshape PJ1.1

This interface is one of the most important in all of Java 2D. It defines methods necessary for generalized operations on shapes, such as drawing, filling, and insideness testing. The package java.awt.geom contains a number of useful implementations of this interface, including GeneralPath, which can be used to describe arbitrary shapes composed of line and curve segments. java.awt.Polygon and java.awt.Rectangle are also important implementations of Shape. Most applications can rely on these predefined implementations and do not need to implement this interface themselves.

getBounds() and getBounds2D() return rectangular bounding boxes that completely enclose a Shape. contains() and intersects() test whether the shape contains or intersects a specified point or rectangle. The most important method of the Shape interface, however, is getPathIterator(). This method returns a java.awt.geom.PathIterator object that traces the outline of the shape using line and curve segments. The two-argument version of this method returns a PathIterator that is guaranteed to trace the outline using only straight line segments and no curves. The flatness argument is a measure of how closely the line segments must approximate the actual outline. Smaller values of flatness require increasingly accurate approximations.

The Shape interface was first defined in Java 1.1. In that version of the language it contained only the getBounds() method. The interface is so central to Java 2D and has grown so much since the Java 1.1 version, however, that it should generally be considered to be new in Java 1.2.

StrokeJava 1.2
java.awt

This interface defines how Java 2D draws the outline of a shape. It is responsible for graphical attributes such as line width and dash pattern. However, the Stroke is not responsible for the color or texture of the outline--those are the responsibility of the Paint interface. By default, lines are solid and are one pixel wide. To specify a different line style, pass a Stroke object to the setStroke() method of a Graphics2D object.

Mathematically, the outline of a shape is an infinitely thin line. Because it has no thickness, it cannot be drawn. The Stroke interface is responsible for defining how such infinitely thin outlines are drawn. The createStrokedShape() method is passed the Shape that is to be drawn. It returns a new Shape that places a finite width around the infinitely thin boundaries of the specified shape. The outline of the original shape can then be drawn by filling the interior of the returned shape.

BasicStroke implements Stroke and is the only implementation needed by most programs. Some programs may define their own implementations to achieve special effects not possible with BasicStroke, however.

// Public Instance Methods

SystemColorJava 1.1
java.awtserializable PJ1.1

Instances of the SystemColor class represent colors used in the system desktop. You can use these colors to produce applications and custom components that fit well in the desktop color scheme. On platforms that allow the desktop colors to be modified dynamically, the actual colors represented by these symbolic system colors may be dynamically updated.

The SystemColor class does not have a constructor, but it defines constant SystemColor objects that represent each of the symbolic colors used by the system desktop. If you need to compare a SystemColor object to a regular Color object, use the getRGB() method of both objects and compare the resulting values.

TextAreaJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1(mod)

This class is a GUI component that displays and optionally edits multiline text. The appendText(), insertText(), and replaceText() methods provide various techniques for specifying text to appear in the TextArea. Many important TextArea methods are defined by its TextComponent superclass. See also TextComponent and TextField.

The four-argument version of the TextArea() constructor allows you to specify a scrollbar display policy for the TextArea object. Personal Java environments can define a scrolling mechanism other than scrollbars. In this case, the scrollbar display policy can be ignored.

java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1

This class is the superclass of the TextArea and TextField components. It cannot be instantiated itself but provides methods that are common to these two component types. setEditable() specifies whether the text in the component is editable. getText() returns the text in the component, and setText() specifies text to be displayed. getSelectedText() returns the currently selected text in the component, and getSelectionStart() and getSelectionEnd() return the extents of the selected region of text. select() and selectAll() select some and all of the text displayed in the text component, respectively.

TexturePaintJava 1.2
java.awt

This implementation of Paint is used to perform Java 2D drawing and filling operations with a texture or pattern of colors defined in a BufferedImage object.

When you create a TexturePaint object, you must specify the BufferedImage that defines the texture. You must also specify a rectangle that defines both the initial position of the image and the tile size with which the image is replicated. Typically, you specify a rectangle with its upper-left corner at (0,0) and a width and height equal to the width and height of the image

ToolkitJava 1.0
java.awtPJ1.1(mod)

This abstract class defines methods that, when implemented, create platform-dependent peers for each of the Component types in java.awt. Java supports its platform-independent GUI interface by implementing a subclass of Toolkit for each platform. Portable programs should never use these methods to create peers directly--they should use the Component classes themselves. A Toolkit object cannot be instantiated directly. The getToolkit() method of Component returns the Toolkit being used for a particular component.

The Toolkit class also defines methods that you can use directly. The static method getDefaultToolkit() returns the default Toolkit that is in use. getScreenSize() returns the screen size in pixels, and getScreenResolution() returns the resolution in dots per inch. sync() flushes all pending graphics output, which can be useful for animation. Other methods of interest include beep(), getSystemClipboard(), createCustomCursor(), and addAWTEventListener(). getPrintJob() is part of the Java 1.1 printing API. In Personal Java environments, printing support is optional, and this method can throw an exception.

TransparencyJava 1.2
java.awt

The integer constants defined by this interface identify the three types of transparency supported by Java 2D. Although the Transparency interface is implemented only by a couple of Java 2D classes, the constants it defines are more widely used. These constants are:

OPAQUE

All colors are fully opaque, with no transparency. The alpha value of every pixel is 1.0.

BITMASK

Colors are either fully opaque or fully transparent, as specified by the bits in a bit mask. That is, each pixel has 1 bit associated with it that specifies whether the pixel is opaque (alpha is 1.0) or transparent (alpha is 0.0).

TRANSLUCENT

Colors may be totally opaque, totally transparent, or translucent. This model of transparency uses an alpha channel that is wider than 1 bit and supports a number of alpha transparency levels between 1.0 and 0.0.

// Public Constants

WindowJava 1.0
java.awtserializable AWT component PJ1.1(mod)

This class represents a top-level window with no borders or menu bar. Window is a Container with BorderLayout as its default layout manager. Window is rarely used directly; its subclasses Frame and Dialog are more commonly useful.

show() (which overrides the show() method of Component) makes a Window visible and brings it to the front of other windows. toFront() brings a window to the front, and toBack() buries a window beneath others. pack() is an important method that initiates layout management for the window, setting the window size to match the preferred size of the components contained within the window. getToolkit() returns the Toolkit() in use for this window. Call dispose() when a Window is no longer needed, to free its window system resources.

Although the Window class is part of the Personal Java API, Personal Java implementations can prohibit the creation of Window objects. In this case, the Window() constructor throws an exception.
