All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface GraphicsNodeBridge

extends Bridge

Bridge class for creating, building, and updating a GraphicsNode according to an Element.

Method Summary

void	buildGraphicsNode(BridgeContext ctx, Element e, GraphicsNode node) Builds using the specified BridgeContext and element, the specified graphics node.
GraphicsNode	createGraphicsNode(BridgeContext ctx, Element e) Creates a GraphicsNode according to the specified parameters.
boolean	getDisplay(Element e) Returns true if the graphics node has to be displayed, false otherwise.
Bridge	getInstance() FIX ME: Move to Bridge Returns the Bridge instance to be used for a single DOM element.
boolean	isComposite() Returns true if the bridge handles container element, false otherwise.

Method Detail

createGraphicsNode

public GraphicsNode createGraphicsNode(BridgeContext ctx,
                                       Element e)

Creates a GraphicsNode according to the specified parameters. This is called before children have been added to the returned GraphicsNode (obviously since you construct and return it).

Parameters:

ctx - the bridge context to use

e - the element that describes the graphics node to build

Returns:

a graphics node that represents the specified element

buildGraphicsNode

public void buildGraphicsNode(BridgeContext ctx,
                              Element e,
                              GraphicsNode node)

Builds using the specified BridgeContext and element, the specified graphics node. This is called after all the children of the node have been constructed and added, so it is safe to do work that depends on being able to see your children nodes in this method.

Parameters:

ctx - the bridge context to use

e - the element that describes the graphics node to build

node - the graphics node to build

isComposite

public boolean isComposite()

Returns true if the bridge handles container element, false otherwise.

getDisplay

public boolean getDisplay(Element e)

Returns true if the graphics node has to be displayed, false otherwise.

getInstance

public Bridge getInstance()

FIX ME: Move to Bridge Returns the Bridge instance to be used for a single DOM element. For example, a static Bridge (i.e., a Bridge for static SVG content) will always return the same instance. A dynamic Bridge will return a new instance on each call.
