Class RepaintManager


public class RepaintManager
extends Object

The repaint manager holds a set of dirty regions, invalid components, and a double buffer surface. The dirty regions and invalid components are used to coalesce multiple revalidate() and repaint() calls in the component tree into larger groups to be refreshed "all at once"; the double buffer surface is used by root components to paint themselves.

See this document for more details. document for more details.

RepaintManager

public RepaintManager()
Create a new RepaintManager object.

Method Details

addDirtyRegion

public void addDirtyRegion(JComponent component,
                           int x,
                           int y,
                           int w,
                           int h)
Add a region to the set of dirty regions for a specified component. This involves union'ing the new region with any existing dirty region associated with the component. If the repaintWorker class is not active, insert it in the system event queue.
Parameters:
component - The component to add a dirty region for
x - The left x coordinate of the new dirty region
y - The top y coordinate of the new dirty region
w - The width of the new dirty region
h - The height of the new dirty region

addInvalidComponent

public void addInvalidComponent(JComponent component)
Add a component to the invalidComponents vector. If the repaintWorker class is not active, insert it in the system event queue.
Parameters:
component - The component to add

currentManager

public static RepaintManager currentManager(Component component)
Returns the RepaintManager for the current thread's thread group. The default implementation ignores the component parameter and returns the same repaint manager for all components.
Parameters:
component - a component to look up the manager of
Returns:
the current repaint manager for the calling thread's thread group and the specified component

currentManager

public static RepaintManager currentManager(JComponent component)
Returns the RepaintManager for the current thread's thread group. The default implementation ignores the component parameter and returns the same repaint manager for all components. This method is only here for backwards compatibility with older versions of Swing and simply forwards to currentManager(Component).
Parameters:
component - a component to look up the manager of
Returns:
the current repaint manager for the calling thread's thread group and the specified component

getDirtyRegion

public Rectangle getDirtyRegion(JComponent component)
Get the dirty region associated with a component, or null if the component has no dirty region.
Parameters:
component - The component to get the dirty region of
Returns:
The dirty region of the component

getDoubleBufferMaximumSize

public Dimension getDoubleBufferMaximumSize()
Get the value of the doubleBufferMaximumSize property.
Returns:
The current value of the property

getOffscreenBuffer

public Image getOffscreenBuffer(Component component,
                                int proposedWidth,
                                int proposedHeight)
Get an offscreen buffer for painting a component's image. This image may be smaller than the proposed dimensions, depending on the value of the doubleBufferMaximumSize property.
Parameters:
component - The component to return an offscreen buffer for
proposedWidth - The proposed width of the offscreen buffer
proposedHeight - The proposed height of the offscreen buffer
Returns:
A shared offscreen buffer for painting

getVolatileOffscreenBuffer

public Image getVolatileOffscreenBuffer(Component comp,
                                        int proposedWidth,
                                        int proposedHeight)
Creates and returns a volatile offscreen buffer for the specified component that can be used as a double buffer. The returned image is a VolatileImage. Its size will be (proposedWidth, proposedHeight) except when the maximum double buffer size has been set in this RepaintManager.
Parameters:
comp - the Component for which to create a volatile buffer
proposedWidth - the proposed width of the buffer
proposedHeight - the proposed height of the buffer
Since:
1.4
