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 java.beans.XMLEncoder.

public Dimension getMinimumSize()

Overrides javax.swing.JComponent.getMinimumSize.

Returns the minimum size of the BasicArrowButton.

Returns:Dimension

the minimum size

isFocusTraversableback to summary
public boolean isFocusTraversable()

Overrides java.awt.Component.isFocusTraversable.

Returns whether the arrow button should get the focus. BasicArrowButtons are used as a child component of composite components such as JScrollBar and JComboBox. Since the composite component typically gets the focus, this method is overridden to return false.

Returns:boolean

false

paintback to summary
public void paint(Graphics g)

Overrides javax.swing.JComponent.paint.

Doc from javax.swing.JComponent.paint.

Invoked by Swing to draw components. Applications should not invoke paint directly, but should instead use the repaint method to schedule the component for redrawing.

This method actually delegates the work of painting to three protected methods: paintComponent, paintBorder, and paintChildren. They're called in the order listed to ensure that children appear on top of component itself. Generally speaking, the component and its children should not paint in the insets area allocated to the border. Subclasses can just override this method, as always. A subclass that just wants to specialize the UI (look and feel) delegate's paint method should just override paintComponent.

Parameters
g:Graphics

the Graphics context in which to paint

paintScaledTriangleback to summary
private void paintScaledTriangle(Graphics g, double x, double y, double size, int direction, boolean isEnabled)
paintTriangleback to summary
public void paintTriangle(Graphics g, int x, int y, int size, int direction, boolean isEnabled)

Paints a triangle.

Parameters
g:Graphics

the Graphics to draw to

x:int

the x coordinate

y:int

the y coordinate

size:int

the size of the triangle to draw

direction:int

the direction in which to draw the arrow; one of SwingConstants.NORTH, SwingConstants.SOUTH, SwingConstants.EAST or SwingConstants.WEST

isEnabled:boolean

whether or not the arrow is drawn enabled

paintUnscaledTriangleback to summary
private void paintUnscaledTriangle(Graphics g, int x, int y, int size, int direction, boolean isEnabled)
setDirectionback to summary
public void setDirection(int direction)

Sets the direction of the arrow.

Parameters
direction:int

the direction of the arrow; one of of SwingConstants.NORTH, SwingConstants.SOUTH, SwingConstants.EAST or SwingConstants.WEST
