public class Polygon
extends AbstractColorableGraphic

A polygon is a Graphic that can form many shapes. To use, first set the desired dimension of the polygon. Then add at least three points in order to correctly make a polygon. This will then play connect the dots in the order that the points were added. Then connects the last point back to the first, forming a polygon.

For example, to create a triangle:
graphics.Polygon triangle = new graphics.Polygon();
_triangle.setDimension(new java.awt.Dimension(30,30));
_triangle.addPoint(new Point(0,0));
_triangle.addPoint(new Point(30,0));
_triangle.addPoint(new Point(30,30));

Constructor Summary

Polygon()
Creates a new instance of Polygon with no vertices

Method Summary

void	actualPaint(java.awt.Graphics2D gs, java.awt.Point location, java.awt.Dimension dimension) This method uses the Graphics2D object to paint the Polygon onto the container.
void	addPoint(java.awt.Point p) Add a point to the polygon
java.awt.Shape	getShape() Gets a java.awt.shape that represents this shape
void	removePoint(java.awt.Point p) removes the first occurrence of point p from the polygon
void	setDimension(java.awt.Dimension d) Resizes the Polygon to a specified dimension.
void	setLocation(java.awt.Point point) Sets the upper left hand corner of the polygon's bounding box.

Constructor Detail

Polygon

public Polygon()

Creates a new instance of Polygon with no vertices

Method Detail

addPoint

public void addPoint(java.awt.Point p)

Add a point to the polygon

Parameters:

p - the point to add

removePoint

public void removePoint(java.awt.Point p)

removes the first occurrence of point p from the polygon

Parameters:

p - The Point to remove

actualPaint

public void actualPaint(java.awt.Graphics2D gs,
                        java.awt.Point location,
                        java.awt.Dimension dimension)

This method uses the Graphics2D object to paint the Polygon onto the container. The location and dimension parameters are not used because the polygon knows it's location and dimension

Parameters:

gs - The Graphics2D object to do the painting

location - Does nothing

dimension - Does Nothing

See Also:

IGraphic.actualPaint(java.awt.Graphics2D, java.awt.Point, java.awt.Dimension)

setLocation

public void setLocation(java.awt.Point point)

Sets the upper left hand corner of the polygon's bounding box.

Specified by:

setLocation in interface ILocatable

Overrides:

setLocation in class AbstractGraphic

Parameters:

point - A java.awt.Point representing the new location of the Polygon

See Also:

ILocatable.setLocation(java.awt.Point)

setDimension

public void setDimension(java.awt.Dimension d)

Resizes the Polygon to a specified dimension.

Specified by:

setDimension in interface ISizeable

Overrides:

setDimension in class AbstractGraphic

Parameters:

d - The dimension which the polygon should have

See Also:

ISizeable.setDimension(java.awt.Dimension)

getShape

public java.awt.Shape getShape()

Gets a java.awt.shape that represents this shape

Returns:

a java.awt.Polygon that represents this polygon

IGraphic.getShape()
