Method Summary

protected void	computeGeometry() A Display's computeGeometry() method is called whenever the size of the receiving display panel is initialized or has been changed, or a geometry parameter of the display has been adjusted.
protected int	create() Create the display element list and the timing element list for this display.
boolean	isGraphic() Return true if this display object requires graphic screen resources for being shown.
void	show() Draws all objects in the list of DisplayElements but the background.
void	show(java.awt.Graphics g) Draws the background if it has been defined and then draws all objects in the list of DisplayElements.
void	showGroup() Shows the currently active timing group as it is defined by the current value of activeTimingGroup.

Field Detail

CommPort

public ExPar CommPort

Communication port name for the device. Possible names are 'COMn' under Windows with 'n' replaced by the serial port number (default: 'COM1' or 'COM2') or 'Serial A' or 'Serial B' on Sun unix machines.

CommandCode

public ExPar CommandCode

Command code for the device. Possible command codes are defined in the interface de.pxlab.pxl.SerialCommunicationDeviceControlCodes.

Command

public ExPar Command

Command string for the device. The SEND_TO_SERIAL_LINE command code sends this string to the device.

Constructor Detail

SerialCommunicationDeviceControl

public SerialCommunicationDeviceControl()

Method Detail

isGraphic

public boolean isGraphic()

Description copied from class: Display

Return true if this display object requires graphic screen resources for being shown. This is not the case for acoustic and other non-graphic Display objects.

Overrides:

isGraphic in class Display

create

protected int create()

Description copied from class: Display

Create the display element list and the timing element list for this display. This method is called only once per instance. Its task is to create the list of display and timing elements. Colors and timing properties are associated with their respective experimental parameter names here but are not yet initialized from the experimental parameter table. This is done later.

Specified by:

create in class Display

computeGeometry

protected void computeGeometry()

Description copied from class: Display

A Display's computeGeometry() method is called whenever the size of the receiving display panel is initialized or has been changed, or a geometry parameter of the display has been adjusted. This method does not recompute the background.

Specified by:

computeGeometry in class Display

showGroup

public void showGroup()

Description copied from class: Display

Shows the currently active timing group as it is defined by the current value of activeTimingGroup. Subclasses which want to modify the timing group display method should override this method. This method assumes that the graphics context has already been set and the background has been drawn.

Overrides:

showGroup in class Display

show

public void show(java.awt.Graphics g)

Description copied from class: Display

Draws the background if it has been defined and then draws all objects in the list of DisplayElements. This method ignores the timing group patterns. Drawing is delegated to the DisplayElement objects.

Overrides:

show in class Display

Parameters:

g - a currently valid Graphics context for painting.

show

public void show()

Description copied from class: Display

Draws all objects in the list of DisplayElements but the background. Drawing is delegated to the DisplayElement objects.

Overrides:

show in class Display
