Class Canvas

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.awt.image.ImageObserver, java.awt.MenuContainer, java.io.Serializable, java.util.EventListener, javax.accessibility.Accessible
    public final class Canvas
extends javax.swing.JPanel
implements java.awt.event.ActionListener
    This class represents a basic canvas, it has some features that may seem useless... they are...

    Within the canvas there are 2 types of GraphicE, fixed and mobile. fixed elements are only redrawn when the canvas is resized or when specifically told to.
