Interface DrawingView

All Superinterfaces:
ReadOnlyPropertyBean, RenderContext, WritableRenderContext
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractDrawingView, SimpleDrawingView
public interface DrawingView extends WritableRenderContext
A DrawingView can display a Drawing in a JavaFX scene graph.

A DrawingView consists of the following layers:

  • Background. Displays a background behind the drawing.
  • Drawing. Displays the figures of the drawing.
  • Grid. Displays a grid.
  • Tools. Displays the handles used for editing figures.

DrawingView uses a DrawingModel to listen for changes on a Drawing. Once a drawing is showing in a drawing view, all changes to the drawing must be performed on the drawing model.

DrawingView invokes validate() on its DrawingModel each time before it renders the drawing to ensure that the figures are laid out and that CSS styles are applied before rendering the drawing.

    • modelProperty

      NonNullObjectProperty<DrawingModel> modelProperty()
      The drawing model.
      Returns:
      the drawing model property, with getBean() returning this drawing view, and getName() returning DRAWING_PROPERTY.
      See Also:

    • drawingProperty

      javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyObjectProperty<Drawing> drawingProperty()
      The drawing model.
      Returns:
      the drawing model property
      See Also:

    • editorProperty

      javafx.beans.property.ObjectProperty<DrawingEditor> editorProperty()
      The drawing editor.
      Returns:
      the editor property
      See Also:

    • activeParentProperty

      javafx.beans.property.ObjectProperty<Figure> activeParentProperty()
      The active layer of the drawing.
      Returns:
      the active layer of the drawing. Returns null if the drawing has no layers or no layer has been activated.
      See Also:

    • scrollSelectedFiguresToVisible

      default void scrollSelectedFiguresToVisible()

    • toolProperty

      javafx.beans.property.ObjectProperty<Tool> toolProperty()
      The tool which currently edits this DrawingView.

      When a tool is set on the drawing view, then drawing view adds the Node of the tool to its tool panel which is stacked on top of the drawing panel. It then invokes toolsetDrawingView(this).

      Setting a tool will removeChild the previous tool. The drawing view invokes tool.setDrawingView(null) and then removes its Node from its tool panel.

      Returns:
      the tool property, with getBean() returning this drawing view, and getName() returning TOOL_PROPERTY.
      See Also:

    • zoomFactorProperty

      javafx.beans.property.DoubleProperty zoomFactorProperty()
      The scale factor of the drawing view.
