LuciadLightspeedInterface ILcdGXYAsynchronousPaintQueue

All Known Implementing Classes:

TLcdGXYAsynchronousMultiPaintQueue, TLcdGXYAsynchronousPaintQueue, TLcdGXYLspAsynchronousPaintQueue

public interface ILcdGXYAsynchronousPaintQueue

This interface defines a queue for layer paint requests, executing them asynchronously if necessary. A request is honored or queued whenever the paint(java.awt.Graphics, com.luciad.view.gxy.asynchronous.ILcdGXYAsynchronousLayerWrapper, int, com.luciad.view.gxy.ILcdGXYView) method is called.

Unless stated otherwise, all methods should be called in the Event Dispatch Thread (AWT thread, Swing thread).

Since:

7.2

Method Detail

paint

void paint(Graphics aGraphics,
           ILcdGXYAsynchronousLayerWrapper aWrapper,
           int aMode,
           ILcdGXYView aGXYView)

Paints an image of the painted layers using the given graphics. If a valid image is not available for the mode, this operation queues an asynchronous paint request, in order to create one. The parent view will then be asked to repaint itself when the asynchronous painting is completed.

Note that the paint queue is free to decide if it will execute the paint synchronously or asynchronously (e.g. when confronted with unsupported views).

Parameters:

aGraphics - the graphics to use for painting

aWrapper - the asynchronous layer wrapper that should be painted

aMode - the mode indicating what should be painted, see ILcdGXYLayer.paint(java.awt.Graphics, int, com.luciad.view.gxy.ILcdGXYView).

aGXYView - the view for which the layer should be painted.

getGXYAsynchronousView

ILcdGXYView getGXYAsynchronousView(ILcdGXYAsynchronousLayerWrapper aWrapper,
                                   int aMode,
                                   ILcdGXYView aGXYView)

Returns the view on which the asynchronous paint requests are actually executed. In the painting thread, the asynchronous view replaces the given view when painting the given asynchronous layer with the given painting mode. Its images are then used as image buffers that can be composited in the actual view.

Parameters:

aGXYView - the original view for which asynchronous paints are meant to be displayed. Paints for unsupported views are executed synchronously.

aWrapper - the asynchronous layer wrapper that would be painted

aMode - the mode indicating what should be painted, see ILcdGXYLayer.paint(java.awt.Graphics, int, com.luciad.view.gxy.ILcdGXYView).

Returns:

the view that is used for asynchronous painting

reset

void reset()
    throws InterruptedException

Clears all cached images and paint requests. Waits for asynchronous painting to finish.

Throws:

InterruptedException - when the thread is interrupted while waiting for the asynchronous paint to complete

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

Returns true if the paint queue is not painting and it has no paint requests to finish. When called on the event dispatch thread, it should guarantee that no painting occurs while the caller holds the thread.

Returns:

true when no painting will occur while the caller holds the thread

invokeLater

void invokeLater(Runnable aRunnable)

Executes the given Runnable in the paint thread and returns immediately.

Parameters:

aRunnable - the Runnable to execute. The run method should take care when waiting for another thread: if that thread in turn waits for asynchronous painting to complete, a deadlock will occur.

invokeLaterInEDT

void invokeLaterInEDT(Runnable aRunnable)

Executes the given Runnable in the event dispatch thread and returns immediately.

Parameters:

aRunnable - the Runnable to execute.

invokeAndWait

void invokeAndWait(Runnable aRunnable)
            throws InterruptedException

Executes the given Runnable synchronously, but without interfering with the paint thread. This call blocks until all asynchronous paints and runnables have been processed, and the Runnable returns. The invocation is executed in the view's paint thread (typically the EDT).

Parameters:

aRunnable - the Runnable to execute. The run method should take care when waiting for another thread: if that thread in turn waits for asynchronous painting to complete, a deadlock will occur.

Throws:

InterruptedException - when the thread is interrupted while waiting for the execution to complete

addGXYAsynchronousPaintListener

void addGXYAsynchronousPaintListener(ILcdGXYAsynchronousPaintListener aListener)

Registers an ILcdGXYAsynchronousPaintListener to be informed of asynchronous painting events. These events will be thrown in the asynchronous painting thread.

Parameters:

aListener - the listener that should be notified

removeGXYAsynchronousPaintListener

void removeGXYAsynchronousPaintListener(ILcdGXYAsynchronousPaintListener aListener)

Stops informing the given ILcdGXYAsynchronousPaintListener of asynchronous painting events.

Parameters:

aListener - the listener that should no longer be notified.
