public class ZText
extends ZVisualComponent
implements ZPenColor, ZPenPaint, java.io.Serializable

ZText creates a visual component to support text. Multiple lines can be entered, and basic editing is supported. A caret is drawn, and can be repositioned with mouse clicks. The text object is positioned so that its upper-left corner is at the origin, though this can be changed with the translate methods.

Warning: Serialized and ZSerialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Jazz releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Jazz. A future release of Jazz will provide support for long term persistence.

setFont

public void setFont(java.awt.Font aFont)
Sets the font for the text.

Warning: Java has a serious bug in that it does not support very small fonts. In particular, fonts that are less than about a pixel high just don't work. Since in Jazz, it is common to create objects of arbitrary sizes, and then scale them, an application can easily create a text object with a very small font by accident. The workaround for this bug is to create a larger font for the text object, and then scale the node down correspondingly.


setText

public void setText(java.lang.String str)
Sets the text of this visual component to str. Multiple lines of text are separated by a newline character.


addChar

public void addChar(char c)
Adds a character before the caret position.

setCaretLine

public void setCaretLine(int line)
Sets the caretLine to line, if it exists.


setCaretPos

public void setCaretPos(int cp)
Set the caret this character position in the current line.

render

public void render(ZRenderContext renderContext)
Renders the text object

The transform, clip, and composite will be set appropriately when this object is rendered. It is up to this object to restore the transform, clip, and composite of the Graphics2D if this node changes any of them. However, the color, font, and stroke are unspecified by Jazz. This object should set those things if they are used, but they do not need to be restored.

Overrides:
render in class ZVisualComponent
Parameters:
renderContext - The graphics context to use for rendering.
See Also:
ZVisualComponent.paint(Graphics2D)

paintAsGreek

public void paintAsGreek(ZRenderContext renderContext)
Paints this object as greek.


paintAsText

public void paintAsText(ZRenderContext renderContext)
Paints this object normally (show it's text). Note that the entire text gets rendered so that it's upper left corner appears at the origin of this local object.


computeBounds

protected void computeBounds()
Notifies this object that it has changed and that it should update its notion of its bounding box.

Overrides:
computeBounds in class ZSceneGraphObject

setState

public void setState(java.lang.String fieldType,
                     java.lang.String fieldName,
                     java.lang.Object fieldValue)
Set some state of this object as it gets read back in. After the object is created with its default no-arg constructor, this method will be called on the object once for each bit of state that was written out through calls to ZObjectOutputStream.writeState() within the writeObject method.

Specified by:
setState in interface ZSerializable
Overrides:
setState in class ZVisualComponent
Parameters:
fieldType - The fully qualified type of the field
fieldName - The name of the field
fieldValue - The value of the field

writeObject

public void writeObject(ZObjectOutputStream out)
                 throws java.io.IOException
Write out all of this object's state.
