public class TextAreaTool
extends CreationTool
implements java.awt.event.ActionListener

A tool to create new or edit existing figures that implement the TextHolderFigure interface, such as TextAreaFigure. The figure to be created is specified by a prototype.

To create a figure using the TextAreaTool, the user does the following mouse gestures on a DrawingView:

1. Press the mouse button over the DrawingView. This defines the start point of the Figure bounds.
2. Drag the mouse while keeping the mouse button pressed, and then release the mouse button. This defines the end point of the Figure bounds.

When the user has performed these mouse gesture, the TextAreaTool overlays a text area over the drawing where the user can enter the text for the Figure.

To edit an existing text figure using the TextAreaTool, the user does the following mouse gesture on a DrawingView:

1. Press the mouse button over a Figure on the DrawingView.

The TextAreaTool then uses Figure.findFigureInside to find a Figure that implements the TextHolderFigure interface and that is editable. Then it overlays a text area over the drawing where the user can enter the text for the Figure.

XXX - Maybe this class should be split up into a CreateTextAreaTool and a EditTextAreaTool.

Version:

Constructor Detail

TextAreaTool

public TextAreaTool(TextHolderFigure prototype)

Creates a new instance.

TextAreaTool

public TextAreaTool(TextHolderFigure prototype,
                    java.util.Map attributes)

Method Detail

setRubberbandColor

public void setRubberbandColor(java.awt.Color c)

Sets the rubberband color for the tool. Setting this to null, disables the rubberband.

Parameters:

c - Rubberband color or null.

setForCreationOnly

public void setForCreationOnly(boolean newValue)

By default this tool is used to create a new TextHolderFigure. If this property is set to false, the tool is used to create a new TextHolderFigure or to edit an existing TextHolderFigure.

isForCreationOnly

public boolean isForCreationOnly()

Returns true, if this tool can be only be used for creation of TextHolderFigures and not for editing existing ones.

deactivate

public void deactivate(DrawingEditor editor)

Description copied from interface: Tool

Deactivates the tool. This method is called whenever the user switches to another tool.

Specified by:

deactivate in interface Tool

Overrides:

deactivate in class CreationTool

mousePressed

public void mousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent e)

Creates a new figure at the mouse location. If editing is in progress, this finishes editing.

Specified by:

mousePressed in interface java.awt.event.MouseListener

Overrides:

mousePressed in class CreationTool

creationFinished

protected void creationFinished(Figure createdFigure)

This method allows subclasses to do perform additonal user interactions after the new figure has been created. The implementation of this class just invokes fireToolDone.

Overrides:

creationFinished in class CreationTool

draw

public void draw(java.awt.Graphics2D g)

Description copied from interface: Tool

Draws the tool.

Specified by:

draw in interface Tool

Overrides:

draw in class AbstractTool

beginEdit

protected void beginEdit(TextHolderFigure textHolder)

endEdit

protected void endEdit()

actionPerformed

public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent event)

Specified by:

actionPerformed in interface java.awt.event.ActionListener
