org.tm4j.tmnav.env.desc .RendererDesc

Holds metainformation about a Renderer.

A RendererDesc may be created for every class that implements the Renderer-Interface.

However, some of the methods of this class operate on subinterfaces of the Renderer - interface. For example, the createTMNavRenderer expects that the given class implements the TMNavRenderer-Interface. If you call createTMNavRenderer on an instance which does not describe a implementation of TMNavRenderer a ClassCastException will be thrown.

For each renderer, it may be defined which abstractors are suitable and which are unsuitable to be used with this renderer. In this context, suitable is meant as, that the renderer is capable to display the model, that is generated by a certain abstracor.

RendererDesc

Method Summary
void	addSuitableAbstractor(java.lang.String id) Adds the id of an AbstractorDesc to the set of AbstractorDesc-ids that are suitable to be used with this Renderer
void	addUnsuitableAbstractor(java.lang.String id) Adds the id of an AbstractorDesc to the set of AbstractorDesc-ids that are not suitable to be used with this Renderer
org.tm4j.tmnav.app.TMNavRenderer	createTMNavRenderer(org.tm4j.tmnav.app.ui.RendererView rv) Creates a new Instance of the Renderer described by this instance. Casts the new Instance to TMNavRenderer.
void	filterAbstractors(java.util.List abstractordescs) Filters the given list of abstractor descriptions. Removes all abstractor descriptions, that are not suitable for renderers that are described by this RendererDesc.
java.lang.String	getChooseable()
java.lang.String	getClassname()
AbstractorDesc	getDefaultAbstractor(java.util.List available) Returns an abstractorDesc that is both available and suitable. If this instance specifies a default abstractor and if this default abstractor is available, it is returned. Otherwise the list of available abstractors get filtered by #filterAbstractors(List). If at least one AbstractorDesc remains, that description is returned.
java.lang.String	getDefaultAbstractorId()
java.lang.String	getDescription()
java.lang.String	getId()
java.lang.String	getInfo()
java.lang.String	getName()
java.util.Set	getSuitableAbstractors() Returns the suitable abstractors.
java.util.Set	getUnsuitableAbstractors() Returns the unsuitable abstractors.
void	isAbstractorSuitable(org.tm4j.tmnav.env.desc.AbstractorDesc ad) checks, whether the given AbstractorDesc describes an Abstractor that is suitable in terms of this renderer description.
void	isUserChooseable()
void	setChooseable(java.lang.String chooseable)
void	setClassname(java.lang.String classname)
void	setDefaultAbstractorId(java.lang.String id) Sets the id of the default abstractorDesc. The default abstractor is used, when an abstractor must be set programatically. CAUTION: This implementation does not synchronize the default abstractor with the list of unsuitable abstractors.
void	setDescription(java.lang.String description)
void	setId(java.lang.String id)
void	setName(java.lang.String name)
java.lang.String	toString()
