All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable, ZSerializable

public class ZInvisibleGroup

extends ZGroup

implements ZSerializable, java.io.Serializable

ZInvisibleGroup is a group node that completely hides its descendents. It does not render anything, nor does it pick or find any children. In addition, an invisible group always has empty bounds. An invisible group can be inserted into a scenegraph when a portion of the tree needs to be temporarily hidden.

ZSceneGraphEditor provides a convenience mechanism to locate, create and manage nodes of this type.

Warning: Serialized and ZSerialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Jazz releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Jazz. A future release of Jazz will provide support for long term persistence.

Constructor Summary

ZInvisibleGroup()
Constructs a new empty invisible group node.

ZInvisibleGroup(ZNode child)
Constructs a new invisible group node with the specified node as a child of the new group.

Method Summary

protected void	computeBounds() An invisible group always has empty bounds.
protected int	findNodes(ZFindFilter filter, java.util.ArrayList nodes) In invisible node never is found, nor are any of its children.
boolean	pick(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D rect, ZSceneGraphPath path) An invisible node never gets picked, nor does it pick any of its children.
void	render(ZRenderContext renderContext) An invisible node does not get rendered at all, nor do any of its children.
static void	setVisible(ZNode node, boolean visible) Make the sub-tree rooted at the specified node invisible or visible.

Constructor Detail

ZInvisibleGroup

public ZInvisibleGroup()

Constructs a new empty invisible group node.

ZInvisibleGroup

public ZInvisibleGroup(ZNode child)

Constructs a new invisible group node with the specified node as a child of the new group.

Parameters:

child - Child of the new group node.

Method Detail

setVisible

public static void setVisible(ZNode node,
                              boolean visible)

Make the sub-tree rooted at the specified node invisible or visible. If the node is being made invisible, this inserts an invisible node above that node (if there isn't already one there.) If it is being made visible, then an invisible nodes directly above the specified node is removed if there is one.

Parameters:

node - the node to make invisible

render

public void render(ZRenderContext renderContext)

An invisible node does not get rendered at all, nor do any of its children.

Overrides:

render in class ZGroup

Parameters:

renderContext - The graphics context to use for rendering.

computeBounds

protected void computeBounds()

An invisible group always has empty bounds.

Overrides:

computeBounds in class ZGroup

pick

public boolean pick(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D rect,
                    ZSceneGraphPath path)

An invisible node never gets picked, nor does it pick any of its children.

Overrides:

pick in class ZGroup

Parameters:

rect - Coordinates of pick rectangle in local coordinates

path - The path through the scenegraph to the picked node. Modified by this call.

Returns:

The picked node, or null if none

findNodes

protected int findNodes(ZFindFilter filter,
                        java.util.ArrayList nodes)

In invisible node never is found, nor are any of its children.

Overrides:

findNodes in class ZGroup

Parameters:

filter - The filter that decides whether or not to include individual nodes in the find list

nodes - the accumulation list (results will be place here).

Returns:

the number of nodes searched
