Class GraphicCreator

java.lang.Object
com.dkt.graphics.extras.GraphicCreator
public class GraphicCreator extends Object
This class came as an exercise to create Graphic objects from text without modifying the classes themselves, it was later used on Graphic Designer, and finally decided to add it to add it to the extras package.
This class is pretty handy to create simple drawing based GUIs, since manipulating strings is orders of magnitude easier than using Graphics. This is not meant to be a programming language, it's simply a way of creating simple (and not so simple) graphics.

    • getErrorCount

      public int getErrorCount()
      Retrieves the number of errors encountered during the parsing of a given text.
      Returns:
      error count

    • getTotalLineCount

      public int getTotalLineCount()

    • stroke

      public Stroke stroke(String[] args)

    • reset

      public Object reset(String[] args)
      Clears the global configurations color, colorf, stroke, paint and font
      Parameters:
      args - these are ignored
      Returns:
      null

    • font

      public Font font(String[] args)
      Sets a global font, if the argument is no then it will reset the global font
      Parameters:
      args - the arguments will be used in Font.decode(String), so for further documentation, please refer to it
      Returns:
      Font

    • colorf

      public Color colorf(String[] args)
      Set's the global fill color. If the argument is no then it will reset the fill color. If this color is set all GFillableE will be set to fill.
      This color is also used as the secondary color on gradients.
      • If 3 arguments are passed there should be: R[0-255] G[0-255] B[0-255],
      • if 4 arguments are passed the format should be: A[0-255] R[0-255] G[0-255] B[0-255]
      Parameters:
      args - color info
      Returns:
      Fill color

    • color

      public Color color(String[] args)
      Set's the global color. This color is also used as the primary color on gradients.
      • If 3 arguments are passed there should be: R[0-255] G[0-255] B[0-255],
      • if 4 arguments are passed the format should be: A[0-255] R[0-255] G[0-255] B[0-255]
      Parameters:
      args - color info
      Returns:
      Fill color

    • gradient

      public GradientPaint gradient(String[] args)
      Creates a linear gradient between color and colorf, so they need to be set before calling this method.
      The arguments should be x1, y1, x2, y2, that is, the coordinates of the first point of the gradient vector and the coordinates of the last point
      Parameters:
      args - vector arguments
      Returns:
      Linear gradient
      See Also:

    • gradient2

      public GradientPaint gradient2(String[] args)
      Creates a linear cyclic gradient between color and colorf, so they need to be set before calling this method.
      The arguments should be x1, y1, x2, y2, that is, the coordinates of the first point of the gradient vector and the coordinates of the last point
      Parameters:
      args - vector arguments
      Returns:
      Linear cyclic gradient
