Rectangles moving and responding to the mouse

1. Rectangles moving and responding to the mouse

2. We want a window with a pile of rectangles in it • When we click a rectangle it changes from filled to unfilled or back again • Starting unfilled • We can drag rectangles too

3. Classes Needed • Rectangle • Particular requirement: needs to know if its filled or not • Needs to know how to draw itself

4. import java.awt.*; public class Rect extends Rectangle { private boolean fillRect = false; public Rect() { this.x = 100; this.y = 100; this.height = 40; this.width = 30; }

5. public void setfillRect(boolean fillRect) { this.fillRect = fillRect; } public boolean getfillRect() { return fillRect; }

6. public void drawMyRect (Graphics g) { Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g; if (this.getfillRect()) g2.fill(this); else g2.draw(this); } }

7. Pile of Rectangles • Need to be able to keep track of your place and cycle through • In Java, you do that with Iterators (see Laszlo Design Patterm Chapter)

8. Iterators • Cf Chapter 6 in the subject guide

10. Classes Needed 2 • Panel (we will call it View) • Needs to Listen for Mouse clicking and Mouse dragging • So needs to implement Mouse Listeners Clicking, Entering, dragging, Pressing, Releasing…

11. Data for View • Various Booleans to keep track of what you are doing: • Maybe just dragging • Rectangle Pile • ArrayList • We will need two variables for Rectangles

12. Method 1: Constructor public View(java.util.ArrayList d) { rectPile = d; this.addMouseListener(this); this.addMouseMotionListener(this); this.setFocusable(true); this.setEnabled(true); }

13. MouseClicking • Change your mind about filling • Repaint

14. public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) { { n = findRectAtPoint(e.getPoint()); if (n != null) { if (n.getfillRect()) n.setfillRect(false); else n.setfillRect(true);} } repaint(); }

15. Mouse Pressing You are getting ready to drag • Work out what rectangle you have pressed • Work out how far you are from the UL corner • Set dragging to true

16. Mouse Pressing public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) { n = findRectAtPoint(e.getPoint()); if (n != null) { dragging = true; offxs = (int) n.getX() - e.getX(); offys = (int) n.getY() - e.getY(); } }

17. Mouse Dragging public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) { if (dragging) { n.setLocation((int) (e.getX() + offxs), e.getY() + offys); repaint(); } }

18. Moue Released • Stop dragging

19. public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) { if (dragging) { dragging = false; n = null; repaint(); } }

20. Main Application public static void main(String[] args) { parseArgs(args); Lab3Application pa = new Lab3Application("LAB3"); }

21. Arguments • What we will do with the arguments here is to set the number of rectangles • Therefore the number of arguments we will need is really one and it is an int • But for main we have to make the input an array of strings • parseArgs is to get from the String Array to what we rea,,y need

22. public static void parseArgs(String[] args) { if (args.length == 1) { nbrRectangles = Integer.parseInt(args[0]); } }

23. The Application is a kind of Frame public class Lab3Application extends JFrame { private final static int HEIGHT = 300; private final static int WIDTH = 400;

24. Data • The Size of the Frame • The number of Rectangles • The RectanglePile itself

25. Constructor • It will take the title as a parameter • Make the pile: • Make a pile object • Call a method that will create the pile • Make a View and add it as the Content Pane • And it will set a few attributes of the frame

26. public Lab3Application(String title) { super(title); this.setResizable(false); this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); d = new ArrayList(); createInitialPile(); View pv = new View(d); this.getContentPane().add(pv); this.setSize(HEIGHT, WIDTH); this.setVisible(true); }

27. Creating the Pile private void createInitialPile() { for (int i = 0; i < nbrRectangles; i++) { d.add(new Rect(20, 20)); } }
