public class TLspLabelPainter
extends Object
implements ILspLabelPainter, ILspEditableStyledPainter, ILspPathLocationLabelPainter, ILspStampLocationLabelPainter

A label painter that draws a screen-aligned images for domain objects. These can be either images/icons or text.

To customize the look and content of your labels, add an ILspStyler to this painter. If you need control over other labeling aspects such as positioning or priorities, use an ALspLabelStyler.

The content of the labels can be determined by using the proper styles. Either use:

• TLspTextStyle to get text with a specific font, font color, size, halo etc.
• TLspIconStyle to get custom images.

When painting content using a TLspTextStyle, the layout of the text is as demonstrated in the following image:

Optionally, you can also set:

• a ALspLabelTextProviderStyle to specify which text to use (default is toString()). See for example TLspDataObjectLabelTextProviderStyle.
• a TLspLabelBoxStyle to specify fill color or frames. Note that it is possible to use multiple TLspLabelBoxStyle instances for the same label. See the TLspLabelBoxStyle class doc for more information.
• a TLspPinLineStyle to draw pins for the labels
• a TLspLabelOpacityStyle to specify a global opacity or modulation color.

It is possible to paint labels with or without an overlay option. Overlay determines if depth checking is used during painting. true means that (conceptually) the label is painted at depth 0 (and is always painted in front of the terrain and other objects). false means that it can be obscured by the terrain or other objects. This setting doesn't influence which labels are painted and which ones are not.

Performance considerations:

• Creating the images is a relatively heavy operation. Therefore the images are cached and only re-created when necessary. This is decided based on differences in style or text content.
• Note that this painter can efficiently handle transparency or a modulation color without having to re-create the image. You can change TLspLabelOpacityStyle.getColor() frequently with little impact.
• Avoid changing other style options though (for example: font, color, halo etc...).
• If possible, only fire style and/or model changes for objects that are actually affected.
• Styles are requested frequently, so make sure your styler is efficient.

Limitations:

• The label painter needs an ILcdShape to retrieve a focus point in order to paint the label correctly. This can be done by either making sure the domain object is a shape or has a shape, or that the specified (non-domain object) style target is a shape or has a shape.

                       throws TLcdNoBoundsException

Description copied from interface: ILspLabelPainter

Calculates the bounds of the given label for the given label location.

This method returns the axis aligned bounds using aBoundsSFCT and returns a rotation. This rotation rotates the bounds around its origin. The rotation of the bounds is defined in radians, clockwise, with 0 at 3 'o clock.

It is possible that the bounds of this label depends on the location of an other label. In that case, it is possible to use the given view locations to retrieve an other location. Note that the given ALspLabelLocations should not be modified in this method.

Specified by:

labelBoundsSFCT in interface ILspLabelPainter

Parameters:

aLabel - the label for which to calculate the bounds.

aLabelLocation - the location of the label.

aLocations - possible context information. This object can for example be used when these bounds depend on bounds of an other label.

aPaintState - the paint state.

aContext - the context.

aBoundsSFCT - the object in which to store the axis aligned bounds.

Returns:

the rotation of the bounds in radians, clockwise, with 0 at 3 'o clock.

Throws:

TLcdNoBoundsException - when the bounds could not be calculated.

labelAnchorPointSFCT

public final void labelAnchorPointSFCT(TLspLabelID aLabel,
                                       ALspLabelLocation aLabelLocation,
                                       ALspLabelLocations aLabelLocations,
                                       TLspPaintState aPaintState,
                                       TLspContext aContext,
                                       ILcd3DEditablePoint aAnchorPointSFCT)
                                throws TLcdNoBoundsException

Description copied from interface: ILspLabelPainter

Retrieves the anchor point of the given label. This point is usually a point on the label, e.g. in the middle of the bounds.

Specified by:

labelAnchorPointSFCT in interface ILspLabelPainter

Parameters:

aLabel - the label for which to calculate the bounds.

aLabelLocation - the location of the label.

aLabelLocations - possible context information. This object can for example be used when these bounds depend on bounds of an other label.

aPaintState - the paint state.

aContext - the context.

aAnchorPointSFCT - the point in which to store the anchor point.

Throws:

TLcdNoBoundsException - when the anchor point could not be calculated.

getAnchorObject

public final Object getAnchorObject(TLspLabelID aLabel,
                                    TLspPaintState aPaintState,
                                    TLspContext aContext)
                             throws TLcdNoBoundsException

Description copied from interface: ILspLabelPainter

Returns the anchor object of the given label. This can either be an other TLspLabelID, an ILcdShape, and ALspStyleTargetProvider or null. In the latter case, the painter interprets the anchor itself, i.e. by using the focus point of the domain object. In the latter case, the domain object must be an ILcdShape or it must have a shape.

The various labeling algorithms use this anchor object to determine the label's location.

You can specify this anchor object using a ALspLabelStyler:

• Use ALspLabelStyleCollector.anchorLabel(java.lang.Object) to make place label relative to another label.
• Use ALspLabelStyleCollector.geometry(ILcdShape) to specify a specific geometry to be used.
• Use ALspLabelStyleCollector.geometry(ALspStyleTargetProvider) to specify a style target provider to be used. Using this method has the advantage that it is possible to specify a different shape reference than the model reference.
• If neither is used, this method returns null, and the algorithms use the domain object itself to determine the location.

Specified by:

getAnchorObject in interface ILspLabelPainter

Parameters:

aLabel - the label.

aPaintState - the paint state.

aContext - the context.

Returns:

the anchor object of the given label.

Throws:

TLcdNoBoundsException - if there is no anchor object for the given label.

prepareChanges

public void prepareChanges(List<TLspPaintGroupsChangedEvent> aEvents,
                           Object aEventId,
                           ILspPaintGroupsChangeListener.Callback aCallback)

Description copied from interface: ILspPaintGroupsChangeListener

Called when the paint groups will change.

The listener should prepare the necessary changes for the events but not commit them yet. The ILspPaintGroupsChangeListener.Callback.changesReady(java.lang.Object) method must be invoked when the listener is ready to commit the changes.

If aEventId is null then the changes may be committed immediately. In this case there will be no call to ILspPaintGroupsChangeListener.commitChanges(Object).

Note that it is not mandatory to do this two-phased commit cycle. You may commit or apply the changes immediately, but you still must invoke the callback.

Specified by:

prepareChanges in interface ILspPaintGroupsChangeListener

Parameters:

aEvents - the changes

aEventId - the event id or null

aCallback - the callback or null

commitChanges

public void commitChanges(Object aEventId)

                          TLspPaintRepresentation aPaintRepresentation)

Description copied from interface: ILspPainter

Registers a layer with this painter. This notifies the painter that it is going to be used in combination with the given layer, for the given paint representation. This allows it to implement setup code if necessary, or to keep track of all layers on which it is set.

Layers registered with this method must be unregistered when the layer stops using this painter, using ILspPainter.unregisterLayer(ILspInteractivePaintableLayer, com.luciad.view.lightspeed.layer.TLspPaintRepresentation).

Specified by:

registerLayer in interface ILspPainter

Parameters:

aLayer - A layer with which this painter will be used.

aPaintRepresentation - The paint representation for which this painter will be used.

unregisterLayer

public void unregisterLayer(ILspInteractivePaintableLayer aLayer,
                            TLspPaintRepresentation aPaintRepresentation)

Description copied from interface: ILspPainter

Unregisters a layer from this painter. This notifies the painter that it will no longer be used in combination with the given layer, for the given paint representation. This allows it to implement cleanup code if necessary.

Layers unregistered with this method must have been registered before calling this method with the method ILspPainter.registerLayer(ILspInteractivePaintableLayer, com.luciad.view.lightspeed.layer.TLspPaintRepresentation).

Specified by:

unregisterLayer in interface ILspPainter

Parameters:

aLayer - A layer that needs to be unregistered

                                      TLspPaintPass aPass,
                                      TLspContext aContext)

Description copied from interface: ILspPainter

Paints the specified groups of objects into a view. The objects are partitioned into TLspPaintGroups, which are created by the layer which invoked this painter. Painters are advised to also implement ILspPaintGroupsChangeListener, which allows them to keep track of changes to the supplied list of paint groups. This way, the painter can exploit temporal coherence and perform its work in the most optimal way.

This method returns a TLspPaintProgress which describes the completeness of the paint operation. If the painter scheduled one or more tasks to be executed asynchronously, it may return from its paintObjects() method before having rendered all the objects it was given. In this case, the returned progress object can describe the amount of work that has been done and the work that is still remaining.

Specified by:

paintObjects in interface ILspPainter

Parameters:

aGLDrawable - the ILcdGLDrawable in which the objects are to be painted

aPaintGroups - the objects to be painted

aPass - the current paint pass

aContext - provides context information to the painter

Returns:

a TLspPaintProgress object describing the completeness of the paint operation
