All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ElbowLiner, SlantedLiner

public interface Liner
extends java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

A Liner encapsulates an algorithm to lineout a ConnectionFigure.

Method Summary

Liner	clone()
java.util.Collection<Handle>	createHandles(BezierPath path) Creates Handle's for the Liner.
void	lineout(ConnectionFigure figure) Layouts the Path.

Method Detail

lineout

void lineout(ConnectionFigure figure)

Layouts the Path. This may alter the number and type of points in the Path.

Parameters:

figure - The ConnectionFigure to be lined out.

createHandles

java.util.Collection<Handle> createHandles(BezierPath path)

Creates Handle's for the Liner. The ConnectionFigure can provide these handles to the user, in order to let her control the lineout.

Parameters:

path - The path for which to create handles.

clone

Liner clone()
