Constructors

BltBufferStrategy

protected BltBufferStrategy(int numBuffers,
                            BufferCapabilities caps)

Creates a new blt buffer strategy around a component

Parameters:

numBuffers - number of buffers to create, including the front buffer

caps - the capabilities of the buffers

Methods

dispose

public void dispose()

Releases system resources currently consumed by this BufferStrategy and removes it from the associated Component. After invoking this method, getBufferStrategy will return null. Trying to use a BufferStrategy after it has been disposed will result in undefined behavior.

Overrides:

dispose in class BufferStrategy

Since:

1.6

createBackBuffers

protected void createBackBuffers(int numBuffers)

Creates the back buffers

Parameters:

numBuffers - the number of buffers to create

getCapabilities

public BufferCapabilities getCapabilities()

Description copied from class: BufferStrategy

Returns the BufferCapabilities for this BufferStrategy.

Specified by:

getCapabilities in class BufferStrategy

Returns:

the buffering capabilities of this strategy

getDrawGraphics

public Graphics getDrawGraphics()

Description copied from class: BufferStrategy

Creates a graphics context for the drawing buffer. This method may not be synchronized for performance reasons; use of this method by multiple threads should be handled at the application level. Disposal of the graphics object obtained must be handled by the application.

Specified by:

getDrawGraphics in class BufferStrategy

Returns:

the draw graphics

show

public void show()

Makes the next available buffer visible.

Specified by:

show in class BufferStrategy

revalidate

protected void revalidate()

Restore the drawing buffer if it has been lost

contentsLost

public boolean contentsLost()

Description copied from class: BufferStrategy

Returns whether the drawing buffer was lost since the last call to getDrawGraphics. Since the buffers in a buffer strategy are usually type VolatileImage, they may become lost. For a discussion on lost buffers, see VolatileImage.

Specified by:

contentsLost in class BufferStrategy

Returns:

whether the drawing buffer was lost since the last call to getDrawGraphics

See Also:

VolatileImage

contentsRestored

public boolean contentsRestored()

Description copied from class: BufferStrategy

Returns whether the drawing buffer was recently restored from a lost state and reinitialized to the default background color (white). Since the buffers in a buffer strategy are usually type VolatileImage, they may become lost. If a surface has been recently restored from a lost state since the last call to getDrawGraphics, it may require repainting. For a discussion on lost buffers, see VolatileImage.

Specified by:

contentsRestored in class BufferStrategy

Returns:

whether the drawing buffer was recently restored from a lost state and reinitialized to the default background color (white)
