Method Detail

createBasicScenegraph

public static PCamera createBasicScenegraph()

Creates the simplest possible scene graph. 1 Camera, 1 Layer, 1 Root

Returns:

a basic scene with 1 camera, layer and root

writeStroke

public static void writeStroke(Stroke stroke,
                               ObjectOutputStream out)
                        throws IOException

Serializes the given stroke object to the object output stream provided. By default strokes are not serializable. This method solves that problem.

Parameters:

stroke - stroke to be serialized

out - stream to which the stroke is to be serialized.

Throws:

IOException

readStroke

public static Stroke readStroke(ObjectInputStream in)
                         throws IOException,
                                ClassNotFoundException

Reconstitutes a stroke from the provided Object Input Stream. According to the scheme found in writeStroke. By default strokes are not serializable.

Parameters:

in - stream from which Stroke is to be read

Returns:

a stroke object

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

readPath

public static GeneralPath readPath(ObjectInputStream in)
                            throws IOException,
                                   ClassNotFoundException

Reads a path from the provided inputStream in accordance with the serialization policy defined in writePath.

Parameters:

in - stream from which to read the path.

Returns:

reconstituted path

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

writePath

public static void writePath(GeneralPath path,
                             ObjectOutputStream out)
                      throws IOException

Serializes the given path to the provided Object Output Stream.

Parameters:

path - path to be serialized

out - stream to which the path should be serialized

Throws:

IOException
