Direct Known Subclasses:

EMFOutputHandler, EPSOutputHandler, PDFOutputHandler, SWFOutputHandler

public abstract class OutputHandler

extends IOHandler

Base class for all vector graphics generating IOHandler implementations provided by yExport.

Method Summary

void	addRenderingHint(RenderingHints.Key key, Object value) Adds a rendering hint key-value-pair, that is passed to the underlying rendering subsystem.
boolean	canRead() Returns false, since this IOHandler can only export files.
boolean	canWrite() Returns true.
Graph2DView	createDefaultGraph2DView(Graph2D graph) Creates the default view used as rendering context of this output handler in case there is no current view associated with the graph.
String	getCreator() Returns the name of the application which uses this OutputHandler.
String	getFileFormatString() Returns a descriptive string of the supported file format
void	read(Graph2D graph, InputStream in) Unsupported Operation.
void	removeRenderingHint(RenderingHints.Key key) Removes a rendering hint key-value-pair, so that it is no longer passed to the underlying rendering subsystem.
void	setCreator(String creator) Specifies the name of the application which uses this OutputHandler.
void	write(Graph2D graph, OutputStream out) Writes the contents of the given graph to a stream

Method Detail

getFileFormatString

public String getFileFormatString()

Returns a descriptive string of the supported file format

canRead

public boolean canRead()

Returns false, since this IOHandler can only export files.

canWrite

public boolean canWrite()

Returns true.

read

public void read(Graph2D graph,
                 InputStream in)
          throws IOException

Unsupported Operation.

Throws:

IOException

write

public void write(Graph2D graph,
                  OutputStream out)
           throws IOException

Writes the contents of the given graph to a stream

Throws:

IOException

createDefaultGraph2DView

public Graph2DView createDefaultGraph2DView(Graph2D graph)

Creates the default view used as rendering context of this output handler in case there is no current view associated with the graph. The default view renders the graph in its original size using a white background color.

The returned view will be automatically registered as one of the graph's views. After the returned view is not needed anymore it is advisable to remove it from the list of registered view of the given graph.

Graph2D.removeView(y.view.View)

addRenderingHint

public void addRenderingHint(RenderingHints.Key key,
                             Object value)

Adds a rendering hint key-value-pair, that is passed to the underlying rendering subsystem.

Parameters:

key - the key of the hint to be set

value - the value indicating preferences for the specified hint category

removeRenderingHint

public void removeRenderingHint(RenderingHints.Key key)

Removes a rendering hint key-value-pair, so that it is no longer passed to the underlying rendering subsystem.

Parameters:

key - the key of the hint to be remove

getCreator

public String getCreator()

Returns the name of the application which uses this OutputHandler.

Returns:

the name of the application which uses this OutputHandler.

setCreator

public void setCreator(String creator)

Specifies the name of the application which uses this OutputHandler.
Some output formats can be queried for this information, e.g. Adobe® Reader® displays the creator string of a PDF file as application entry in the document properties. Defaults to yExport 1.1.

Parameters:

creator - the name of the application which uses this OutputHandler
