Method Detail

setDrawing

void setDrawing(ProcessDrawing processDrawing)

Sets the drawing the element is a part of.

getDrawing

ProcessDrawing getDrawing()

Gets the drawing the element is a part of.

getParentElement

VisualElement getParentElement()

Gets parent element of this element, if any.

getPresentationFigure

CH.ifa.draw.framework.Figure getPresentationFigure()

Gets the presentation figure of this element.

Returns:

The presentation figure
Note that this can be the visual element itself if it does not have a separate presentation figure

updatePresentationFigure

void updatePresentationFigure()

Updates (reinitializes) the presentation figure.

isVisible

boolean isVisible()

Gets the flag if the element is currently visible.

setVisible

void setVisible(boolean visible)

Sets the flag if the element is currently visible.

handleEvent

boolean handleEvent(VisualElementEvent event)

Handler method that is called for handling events. Events can be cursor events, selection events etc.

Parameters:

event - Event that desribes the event

Returns:

true: The event was handled by the element.
false: No special handling, perform the default handling.
