public abstract class DoubleBufferedCanvas
extends java.awt.Canvas

The DoubleBufferedCanvas class provides double buffering functionality. Painting events simply cause the offscreen buffer to be painted. It is the responsibility of sub-classes to explicitly update the offscreen buffer. The offscreen buffer can be updated in two ways.

1. Override the offscreenPaint method and use the redraw method. Passive rendering.
2. Draw to the graphics context returned by the getOffscreenGraphics method and use the repaint method. Active rendering.

The first way alone should be sufficient for most purposes.

Constructor Detail

DoubleBufferedCanvas

public DoubleBufferedCanvas()

Constructs a double buffered canvas.

Method Detail

paint

public final void paint(java.awt.Graphics g)

Paints the canvas using double buffering.

Overrides:

paint in class java.awt.Canvas

See Also:

offscreenPaint(java.awt.Graphics)

update

public final void update(java.awt.Graphics g)

Updates the canvas.

Overrides:

update in class java.awt.Canvas

print

public final void print(java.awt.Graphics g)

Prints the canvas.

Overrides:

print in class java.awt.Component

redraw

public final void redraw()

Redraws the canvas. This method may safely be called from outside the event-dispatching thread.

getOffscreenGraphics

protected final java.awt.Graphics getOffscreenGraphics()

Returns the offscreen graphics context or null if not available.

offscreenPaint

protected abstract void offscreenPaint(java.awt.Graphics g)

Paints the canvas off-screen. Override this method instead of paint(Graphics g).
