Class JViewport

All Implemented Interfaces:
ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible 

public class JViewport
extends JComponent
implements Accessible

The "viewport" or "porthole" through which you see the underlying information. When you scroll, what moves is the viewport. It is like peering through a camera's viewfinder. Moving the viewfinder upwards brings new things into view at the top of the picture and loses things that were at the bottom.

By default, JViewport is opaque. To change this, use the setOpaque method.

NOTE:We have implemented a faster scrolling algorithm that does not require a buffer to draw in. The algorithm works as follows:

  1. The view and parent view and checked to see if they are JComponents, if they aren't, stop and repaint the whole viewport.
  2. If the viewport is obscured by an ancestor, stop and repaint the whole viewport.
  3. Compute the region that will become visible, if it is as big as the viewport, stop and repaint the whole view region.
  4. Obtain the ancestor Window's graphics and do a copyArea on the scrolled region.
  5. Message the view to repaint the newly visible region.
  6. The next time paint is invoked on the viewport, if the clip region is smaller than the viewport size a timer is kicked off to repaint the whole region.
In general this approach is much faster. Compared to the backing store approach this avoids the overhead of maintaining an offscreen buffer and having to do two copyAreas. Compared to the non backing store case this approach will greatly reduce the painted region.

This approach can cause slower times than the backing store approach when the viewport is obscured by another window, or partially offscreen. When another window obscures the viewport the copyArea will copy garbage and a paint event will be generated by the system to inform us we need to paint the newly exposed region. The only way to handle this is to repaint the whole viewport, which can cause slower performance than the backing store case. In most applications very rarely will the user be scrolling while the viewport is obscured by another window or offscreen, so this optimization is usually worth the performance hit when obscured.

Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Methods inherited from class java.lang.Object

clone, equals, finalize, getClass, hashCode, notify, notifyAll, wait, wait, wait

Fields

isViewSizeSet

protected boolean isViewSizeSet

True when the viewport dimensions have been determined. The default is false.

lastPaintPosition

protected Point lastPaintPosition

The last viewPosition that we've painted, so we know how much of the backing store image is valid.

backingStore

@Deprecated
protected boolean backingStore

Deprecated. As of Java 2 platform v1.3

True when this viewport is maintaining an offscreen image of its contents, so that some scrolling can take place using fast "bit-blit" operations instead of by accessing the view object to construct the display. The default is false.

See Also:
setScrollMode(int)

backingStoreImage

protected transient Image backingStoreImage

The view image used for a backing store.

scrollUnderway

protected boolean scrollUnderway

The scrollUnderway flag is used for components like JList. When the downarrow key is pressed on a JList and the selected cell is the last in the list, the scrollpane autoscrolls. Here, the old selected cell needs repainting and so we need a flag to make the viewport do the optimized painting only when there is an explicit call to setViewPosition(Point). When setBounds is called through other routes, the flag is off and the view repaints normally. Another approach would be to remove this from the JViewport class and have the JList manage this case by using setBackingStoreEnabled. The default is false.

BLIT_SCROLL_MODE

public static final int BLIT_SCROLL_MODE

Use graphics.copyArea to implement scrolling. This is the fastest for most applications.

Since:
1.3
See Also:
setScrollMode(int), Constant Field Values

BACKINGSTORE_SCROLL_MODE

public static final int BACKINGSTORE_SCROLL_MODE

Draws viewport contents into an offscreen image. This was previously the default mode for JTable. This mode may offer advantages over "blit mode" in some cases, but it requires a large chunk of extra RAM.

Since:
1.3
See Also:
setScrollMode(int), Constant Field Values

SIMPLE_SCROLL_MODE

public static final int SIMPLE_SCROLL_MODE

This mode uses the very simple method of redrawing the entire contents of the scrollpane each time it is scrolled. This was the default behavior in Swing 1.0 and Swing 1.1. Either of the other two options will provide better performance in most cases.

Since:
1.3
See Also:
setScrollMode(int), Constant Field Values

Constructors

JViewport

public JViewport()

Creates a JViewport.

Methods

getUI

public ViewportUI getUI()

Returns the L&F object that renders this component.

Returns:
a ViewportUI object
Since:
1.3

setUI

public void setUI(ViewportUI ui)

Sets the L&F object that renders this component.

Parameters:
ui - the ViewportUI L&F object
Since:
1.3
See Also:
UIDefaults.getUI(javax.swing.JComponent)

updateUI

public void updateUI()

Resets the UI property to a value from the current look and feel.

Overrides:
updateUI in class JComponent
See Also:
JComponent.updateUI()

getUIClassID

public String getUIClassID()

Returns a string that specifies the name of the L&F class that renders this component.

Overrides:
getUIClassID in class JComponent
Returns:
the string "ViewportUI"
See Also:
JComponent.getUIClassID(), UIDefaults.getUI(javax.swing.JComponent)

addImpl

protected void addImpl(Component child,
                       Object constraints,
                       int index)

Sets the JViewport's one lightweight child, which can be null. (Since there is only one child which occupies the entire viewport, the constraints and index arguments are ignored.)

Overrides:
addImpl in class Container
Parameters:
child - the lightweight child of the viewport
constraints - the constraints to be respected
index - the index
See Also:
setView(java.awt.Component)

remove

public void remove(Component child)

Removes the Viewports one lightweight child.

Overrides:
remove in class Container
Parameters:
child - the component to be removed
See Also:
setView(java.awt.Component)

scrollRectToVisible

public void scrollRectToVisible(Rectangle contentRect)

Scrolls the view so that Rectangle within the view becomes visible.

This attempts to validate the view before scrolling if the view is currently not valid - isValid returns false. To avoid excessive validation when the containment hierarchy is being created this will not validate if one of the ancestors does not have a peer, or there is no validate root ancestor, or one of the ancestors is not a Window or Applet.

Note that this method will not scroll outside of the valid viewport; for example, if contentRect is larger than the viewport, scrolling will be confined to the viewport's bounds.

Overrides:
scrollRectToVisible in class JComponent
Parameters:
contentRect - the Rectangle to display
See Also:
JComponent.isValidateRoot(), Component.isValid(), Component.getPeer()

setBorder

public final void setBorder(Border border)

The viewport "scrolls" its child (called the "view") by the normal parent/child clipping (typically the view is moved in the opposite direction of the scroll). A non-null border, or non-zero insets, isn't supported, to prevent the geometry of this component from becoming complex enough to inhibit subclassing. To create a JViewport with a border, add it to a JPanel that has a border.

Note: If border is non-null, this method will throw an exception as borders are not supported on a JViewPort.

Overrides:
setBorder in class JComponent
Parameters:
border - the Border to set
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - this method is not implemented
See Also:
Border, CompoundBorder

getInsets

public final Insets getInsets()

Returns the insets (border) dimensions as (0,0,0,0), since borders are not supported on a JViewport.

Overrides:
getInsets in class JComponent
Returns:
a Rectangle of zero dimension and zero origin
See Also:
setBorder(javax.swing.border.Border)

getInsets

public final Insets getInsets(Insets insets)

Returns an Insets object containing this JViewports inset values. The passed-in Insets object will be reinitialized, and all existing values within this object are overwritten.

Overrides:
getInsets in class JComponent
Parameters:
insets - the Insets object which can be reused
Returns:
this viewports inset values
See Also:
getInsets()

isOptimizedDrawingEnabled

public boolean isOptimizedDrawingEnabled()

The JViewport overrides the default implementation of this method (in JComponent) to return false. This ensures that the drawing machinery will call the Viewport's paint implementation rather than messaging the JViewport's children directly.

Overrides:
isOptimizedDrawingEnabled in class JComponent
Returns:
false

isPaintingOrigin

protected boolean isPaintingOrigin()

Returns true if scroll mode is a BACKINGSTORE_SCROLL_MODE to cause painting to originate from JViewport, or one of its ancestors. Otherwise returns false.

Overrides:
isPaintingOrigin in class JComponent
Returns:
true if if scroll mode is a BACKINGSTORE_SCROLL_MODE.
See Also:
JComponent.isPaintingOrigin()

paint

public void paint(Graphics g)

Depending on whether the backingStore is enabled, either paint the image through the backing store or paint just the recently exposed part, using the backing store to "blit" the remainder.

The term "blit" is the pronounced version of the PDP-10 BLT (BLock Transfer) instruction, which copied a block of bits. (In case you were curious.)

Overrides:
paint in class JComponent
Parameters:
g - the Graphics context within which to paint
See Also:
JComponent.paintComponent(java.awt.Graphics), JComponent.paintBorder(java.awt.Graphics), JComponent.paintChildren(java.awt.Graphics), JComponent.getComponentGraphics(java.awt.Graphics), JComponent.repaint(long, int, int, int, int)

reshape

public void reshape(int x,
                    int y,
                    int w,
                    int h)

Sets the bounds of this viewport. If the viewport's width or height has changed, fire a StateChanged event.

Overrides:
reshape in class JComponent
Parameters:
x - left edge of the origin
y - top edge of the origin
w - width in pixels
h - height in pixels
See Also:
JComponent.reshape(int, int, int, int)

setScrollMode

public void setScrollMode(int mode)

Used to control the method of scrolling the viewport contents. You may want to change this mode to get maximum performance for your use case.

Parameters:
mode - one of the following values:
  • JViewport.BLIT_SCROLL_MODE
  • JViewport.BACKINGSTORE_SCROLL_MODE
  • JViewport.SIMPLE_SCROLL_MODE
Since:
1.3
See Also:
BLIT_SCROLL_MODE, BACKINGSTORE_SCROLL_MODE, SIMPLE_SCROLL_MODE
