public class Canvas

extends Composite

Instances of this class provide a surface for drawing arbitrary graphics.

Styles:

(none)

Events:

(none)

This class may be subclassed by custom control implementors who are building controls that are not constructed from aggregates of other controls. That is, they are either painted using SWT graphics calls or are handled by native methods.

Constructor Summary

Canvas(Composite parent, int style)
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

Method Summary

void	scroll(int destX, int destY, int x, int y, int width, int height, boolean all) Scrolls a rectangular area of the receiver by first copying the source area to the destination and then causing the area of the source which is not covered by the destination to be repainted.

Constructor Detail

Canvas

public Canvas(Composite parent,
              int style)

Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)

style - the style of control to construct

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent

Method Detail

scroll

public void scroll(int destX,
                   int destY,
                   int x,
                   int y,
                   int width,
                   int height,
                   boolean all)

Scrolls a rectangular area of the receiver by first copying the source area to the destination and then causing the area of the source which is not covered by the destination to be repainted. Children that intersect the rectangle are optionally moved during the operation. In addition, outstanding paint events are flushed before the source area is copied to ensure that the contents of the canvas are drawn correctly.

Parameters:

destX - the x coordinate of the destination

destY - the y coordinate of the destination

x - the x coordinate of the source

y - the y coordinate of the source

width - the width of the area

height - the height of the area

all - trueif children should be scrolled, and false otherwise

Throws:

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
