Outline

Abstract class Interface Application --- animation applets

3

Motivation --- Drawing Board

4

Class Shape

public class Shape { private int x, y; private Color c; public Shape(int x, int y, Color c) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.c = c; } public void draw(Graphics g) { /* … */ } public int getX() { return x; } public int getY() { return y; } public Color getColor { return c; }}

Q: What is wrong with this definition?

5

At Least Two Problems

6

Solution: Abstract Class

public abstract class Shape { private int x, y; private Color c;

protected Shape(int x, int y, Color c) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.c = c; } public abstract void draw(Graphics g); // no body here! public int getX() { return x; } public int getY() { return y; } public Color getColor { return c; }}

7

Abstract Classes?

Classes that can’t be instantiated Used to define common properties that

are to be inherited by subclasses Often provide partial implementations May include abstract methods, methods

that have no body

8

How Abstract Classes Solve the Problems?

9

In Sum, Abstract Classes …

Provide partial implementations to be inherited by subclasses

May include abstract methods Are good for factoring out common

properties among classes

10

Outline

Abstract classes Interfaces Application --- animation applets

11

Interfaces

Declare features to be supported by classes Provide no implementation Only allow public abstract methods and

constants (public static final fields)

public interface Runnable { public void run();}

12

Why Interfaces?

To draw automobiles …

0..* Shape{abstract}

13

How to Draw Automobiles?

By programming to the interface.

14

In Sum, Interfaces …

Good for establishing a well-defined boundary between modules (subsystems)

Thus, make programs more reusable and maintainable

15

Abstract Classes vs. Interfaces

Partial code vs. no code at all Class vs. interface

16

Exercise Separate the display of DigitalClock to support various

ways of displaying time, e.g., digital, analog, customized background, etc. Explain your design by drawing a UML class diagram.

DigitalClock

# timer: Timer

# font: Font

# color: Color

+ DigitalClock(): void

+ start(): void

+ stop(): void

+ paint(g: Graphics): void

17

Applications --- Animation Applets

Enhanced Digital Clock Applet

Setting applet parameters in the Web page

<html>…<applet code=“DigitalClock2.class” width=“250” height=“80”> <param name=“color” value=“blue”></applet>…</html>

19

Getting Applet Parameters

import java.awt.Color;public class DigitalClock2 extends DigitalClock { public void init() { String param = getParameter(“color”); if (“red”.equals(param)) { color = Color.RED; } else if (“blue”.equals(param)) { color = Color.BLUE; } else if (“yellow”.equals(param)) { color = Color.YELLOW; } /* … */ else { color = Color.GREEN; } }}

21

The java.awt.Graphics Class

Class Graphics Represents graphics context, an abstraction of

various drawing surfaces, e.g., screen, printer, off-screen image (an image stored in memory).

Provide a rich set of graphics methods.

drawString() drawLine() drawArc() fillArc() drawOval() fillOval()drawPolygon() fillPolygon()drawRect() fillRect() drawRoundRect() fillRoundRect()

22

Graphics Class (Cont.)

Other methods

setColor(color) set the current colorsetFont(font) set the current font setPaintMode() set the paint, or overwrite mode setXORMode(color) set the XOR mode getColor() get the current color getFont() get the current font getFontMetrics() get the font metrics of the current font getFontMetrics(font) get the font metrics for the specified font

Scrolling Banner Applet

import java.awt.*;import java.awt.event.*;import javax.swing.*;

public class ScrollingBanner extends java.applet.Applet { <field declarations> public void init() { ... } public void paint(Graphics g) { ... } public void start() { ... } public void stop() { ... }}

25

Field Declarations

protected String text; protected Font font = new java.awt.Font("Sans-serif", Font.BOLD, 24); protected Dimension dim; protected int x, y; protected int delay = 100; protected int offset = 1;protected Timer timer; // animation timer

26

Initialization

public void init() { // get parameters "delay" and "text" String att = getParameter("delay"); if (att != null) { delay = Integer.parseInt(att); } att = getParameter("text"); if (att != null) { text = att; } else { text = “Go Miners!”; } // set initial position of the text dim = getSize(); x = dim.width; y = font.getSize();

// initialize animation timertimer = new Timer(delay, new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed() { repaint(); } });}

27

Painting the Current Frame

Go Miners!Go Miners! Go Miners!

length viewing area

(dim.width, y)(dim.width-1, y)(-length, y) (x, y)

28

Painting the Current Frame (Cont.)public void paint(Graphics g) { // get the font metrics to determine the length of the text g.setFont(font); FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics(); int length = fm.stringWidth(text); // adjust the position of text from the previous frame x = x - offset; // if the text is completely off to the left end // move the position back to the right end if (x < -length) { x = dim.width; } // set the pen color and draw the background g.setColor(Color.BLACK); g.fillRect(0, 0, dim.width, dim.height); // set the pen color, then draw the text g.setColor(Color.GREEN); g.drawString(text, x, y); }

29

The start() and stop() Methodspublic void start() { timer.start();} public void stop() { timer.stop(); }

30

Exercise

Define a subclass of ScrollingBanner, called ScrollingBanner3, that scrolls the banner vertically. Reuse code as much as possible and minimize code duplication.

31

How to Avoid Flickering?

Flickering is caused by repaint() repaint() calls the update() method. The default update() method does the following:

paint the whole area with the background color; set the foreground color; call the paint() method.

The update() method is also called by the system to update windows.

Solution: override the update() method use an off-screen image

32

Using Off-Screen Image

Double buffering

import java.awt.*; public class ScrollingBanner2 extends ScrollingBanner { protected Image image; // off-screen image protected Graphics offscreen; // off-screen graphics

public update(Graphics g) { ... } public paint(Graphics g) { ... }}

33

Using Off-Screen Image (Cont.)

public void update(Graphics g) { // create the offscreen image if it is the first time if (image == null) { image = createImage(dim.width, dim.height); offscreen = image.getGraphics(); } // draw the current frame into the off-screen image // using the paint method of the superclass super.paint(offscreen); // copy the off-screen image to the screen g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this); }

public void paint(Graphics g) { update(g); }

34

Animation Applet Idiom Category

Behavioral implementation idiom Intent

For an applet to continuously update its appearance without user input or intervention

Also known asActive Applet

ApplicabilityUse the Animation Applet Idiom to animate dynamic processes

35

Animation Applet Idiom (Cont.)import java.awt.*;import java.awt.event.*;import javax.swing.*;

public class AnimationApplet extends java.applet.Applet {

protected Timer timer = null; protected int delay;

public void init() { timer = new Timer(delay, new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed() { repaint(); } }); }

36

Animation Applet Idiom (Cont.)

public void start() { timer.start(); }

public void stop() { timer.stop(); } public void paint(Graphics g) { <paint the current frame> }
