public class DrawGroup
extends DrawItem

DrawItem subclass to manage a group of other DrawItem instances.

A DrawGroup has no local visual representation other than that of its drawItems. Adding items to a drawGroup allows for central event handling, and allows them to be manipulated (drawn, scaled, etc) together.

DrawItems are added to a DrawGroup by creating the DrawItems with drawGroup set to a drawGroup, or by creating a DrawGroup with drawItems.

DrawGroups handle events by having an explicitly specified group rectangle (see DrawGroup.getGroupRect()). This rectangle has no visual representation within the draw pane (is not visible) but any user-interactions within the specified coordinates will trigger group level events.

DrawGroups may contain other DrawGroups.

setUseGroupRect

public void setUseGroupRect(boolean useGroupRect)
                     throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

When should this drawGroup receive event notifications? If set to true, the developer can specify an explicit set of coordinates. Whenever the user interacts with this rectangle, the drawGroup will be notified and the appropriate event handlers will be fired. Note that rectangle need not contain all DrawItems within the group, and is manually managed by the developer.
If set to false, the event rectangle coordinates are unused - instead as a user interacts with specific drawItems within this group, the appropriate event handler would be fired on the item, then the event would "bubble" to the drawGroup, firing the appropriate event handler at the group level as well.

Parameters:

useGroupRect - Default value is false

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

getUseGroupRect

public boolean getUseGroupRect()

When should this drawGroup receive event notifications? If set to true, the developer can specify an explicit set of coordinates. Whenever the user interacts with this rectangle, the drawGroup will be notified and the appropriate event handlers will be fired. Note that rectangle need not contain all DrawItems within the group, and is manually managed by the developer.
If set to false, the event rectangle coordinates are unused - instead as a user interacts with specific drawItems within this group, the appropriate event handler would be fired on the item, then the event would "bubble" to the drawGroup, firing the appropriate event handler at the group level as well.

Returns:

boolean

click

public java.lang.Boolean click()

setDefaultProperties

public static void setDefaultProperties(DrawGroup drawGroupProperties)

Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties set on the SmartGWT class instance passed to this function before its underlying SmartClient JS object was created. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

Parameters:

drawGroupProperties - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created

rotateBy

public void rotateBy(java.lang.String degrees)

Rotate the group by degrees. This is a relative rotation based on any current rotation

Parameters:

degrees -

rotateTo

public void rotateTo(java.lang.String degrees)

Rotate the group to degrees. This is an absolute rotation and does not consider any existing rotation

Parameters:

degrees -

setDrawItems

public void setDrawItems(DrawItem... drawItems)
                  throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Initial list of DrawItems for this DrawGroup.

DrawItems can be added to a DrawGroup after initialization by setting drawGroup.

Parameters:

drawItems - drawItems Default value is null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

getDrawItems

public DrawItem[] getDrawItems()

Initial list of DrawItems for this DrawGroup.

DrawItems can be added to a DrawGroup after initialization by setting drawGroup.

Returns:

DrawItem

getGroupRect

public Rectangle getGroupRect()

This method will return an array of integers mapping out the coordinates (left, top, width, height) of the "group rectangle" for the group. This is the area of the drawPane where user interactions will fire event notifications on this drawGroup.

Developers may also use left, top, width and height to manage each coordinate directly.

Returns:

4 element array containing left, top, width, height of the group rectangle.
