Class FloatingTextField

java.lang.Object
  org.jhotdraw.draw.text.FloatingTextField

public class FloatingTextField
extends java.lang.Object

A floating text field that is used to edit a TextHolderFigure.

FloatingTextField requires a two step initialization: In a first step the overlay is created and in a second step it can be positioned.

Design Patterns

Framework
The text creation and editing tools and the TextHolderFigure interface define together the contracts of a smaller framework inside of the JHotDraw framework for structured drawing editors.
Contract: TextHolderFigure, TextCreationTool, TextAreaCreationTool, TextEditingTool, TextAreaEditingTool, FloatingTextField, FloatingTextArea.
