Interface GraphicsNodeBridge

public interface GraphicsNodeBridge extends Bridge

Bridge class for creating, building, and updating a GraphicsNode according to an Element.
Method Summary
voidbuildGraphicsNode(BridgeContext ctx, Element e, GraphicsNode node)
Builds using the specified BridgeContext and element, the specified graphics node.
GraphicsNodecreateGraphicsNode(BridgeContext ctx, Element e)
Creates a GraphicsNode according to the specified parameters.
booleangetDisplay(Element e)
Returns true if the graphics node has to be displayed, false otherwise.
BridgegetInstance()
Returns the Bridge instance to be used for a single DOM element.
booleanisComposite()
Returns true if the bridge handles container element, false otherwise.

Method Detail

buildGraphicsNode

public void buildGraphicsNode(BridgeContext ctx, Element e, GraphicsNode node)
Builds using the specified BridgeContext and element, the specified graphics node. This is called after all the children of the node have been constructed and added, so it is safe to do work that depends on being able to see your children nodes in this method.

Parameters: ctx the bridge context to use e the element that describes the graphics node to build node the graphics node to build

createGraphicsNode

public GraphicsNode createGraphicsNode(BridgeContext ctx, Element e)
Creates a GraphicsNode according to the specified parameters. This is called before children have been added to the returned GraphicsNode (obviously since you construct and return it).

Parameters: ctx the bridge context to use e the element that describes the graphics node to build

Returns: a graphics node that represents the specified element

getDisplay

public boolean getDisplay(Element e)
Returns true if the graphics node has to be displayed, false otherwise.

getInstance

public Bridge getInstance()
Returns the Bridge instance to be used for a single DOM element. For example, a static Bridge (i.e., a Bridge for static SVG content) will always return the same instance. A dynamic Bridge will return a new instance on each call. FIX ME: Move to Bridge

isComposite

public boolean isComposite()
Returns true if the bridge handles container element, false otherwise.
