Class WindowedMode

java.lang.Object
  com.golden.gamedev.engine.graphics.WindowedMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

BaseGraphics

public class WindowedMode
extends Object
implements BaseGraphics

Graphics engine for Windowed Environment.

See BaseGraphics for how to use graphics engine separated from Golden T Game Engine (GTGE) Frame Work.

Field Summary

static GraphicsConfiguration	CONFIG The graphics configuration that constructs this graphics engine.
static GraphicsDevice	DEVICE The graphics device that constructs this graphics engine.

Constructor Summary

WindowedMode(Dimension d, boolean bufferstrategy)
Creates new instance of Windowed Graphics Engine with specified size, and whether want to use bufferstrategy or volatile image.

Method Summary

void	cleanup() Releases any system graphics resources and do finalization.
boolean	flip() Flips backbuffer to the screen (primary surface).
Graphics2D	getBackBuffer() Returns backbuffer where the rendering perform.
Component	getComponent() Returns the component where the rendering perform.
Frame	getFrame() Returns the top level frame where this graphics engine is being put on.
String	getGraphicsDescription() Returns graphics engine description, for example: fullscreen, windowed, applet, fullscreen with bufferstrategy, etc.
Dimension	getSize() Returns graphics engine dimension.
Image	getWindowIcon() Returns graphics engine window icon image or null if setting window icon image is not supported.
String	getWindowTitle() Returns graphics engine window title or String "" if setting window title is not supported.
boolean	isBufferStrategy() Returns whether this graphics engine is using buffer strategy or volatile image.
void	setWindowIcon(Image icon) Sets graphics engine window icon image.
void	setWindowTitle(String st) Sets graphics engine window title.

Constructor Detail

WindowedMode

public WindowedMode(Dimension d,
                    boolean bufferstrategy)

Creates new instance of Windowed Graphics Engine with specified size, and whether want to use bufferstrategy or volatile image.

Method Detail

getBackBuffer

public Graphics2D getBackBuffer()

Description copied from interface: BaseGraphics

Returns backbuffer where the rendering perform.

Specified by:

getBackBuffer in interface BaseGraphics

flip

public boolean flip()

Description copied from interface: BaseGraphics

Flips backbuffer to the screen (primary surface). Since most graphics engine backbuffer is VolatileImage type, thus the flipping data could be lost and need to be restored. Therefore, if this method return false, backbuffer need to be rerendered.

For example:

    do {
        Graphics2D g = BaseGraphics.getBackBuffer();
        //.... do graphics operation
    } while (BaseGraphics.flip() == false);
 

See VolatileImage for detail information.

Specified by:

flip in interface BaseGraphics

Returns:

true, if the flipping is successfully proceed.

Specified by:

cleanup in interface BaseGraphics
