Constructor Details

SkinBase

protected SkinBase(C control)

Constructor for all SkinBase instances.

Parameters:: control - The control for which this Skin should attach to.

Method Details

getSkinnable

public final C getSkinnable()

Gets the Skinnable to which this Skin is assigned. A Skin must be created for one and only one Skinnable. This value will only ever go from a non-null to null value when the Skin is removed from the Skinnable, and only as a consequence of a call to Skin.dispose().

The caller who constructs a Skinnable must also construct a Skin and properly establish the relationship between the Control and its Skin.

Specified by:: getSkinnable in interface Skin<C extends Control>
Returns:: A non-null Skinnable, or null value if disposed.

getNode

public final Node getNode()

Gets the Node which represents this Skin. This must never be null, except after a call to Skin.dispose(), and must never change except when changing to null.

Specified by:: getNode in interface Skin<C extends Control>
Returns:: A non-null Node, except when the Skin has been disposed.

dispose

public void dispose()

Called when a previously installed skin is about to be removed from its associated control. This allows the skin to do clean up, like removing listeners and bindings, and undo any changes to the control's properties. After this method completes, Skin.getSkinnable() and Skin.getNode() should return null.

Calling Skin.dispose() more than once has no effect.

Specified by:: dispose in interface Skin<C extends Control>

positionInArea

protected void positionInArea(Node child, double areaX, double areaY, double areaWidth, double areaHeight, double areaBaselineOffset, HPos halignment, VPos valignment)

Utility method which positions the child within an area of this skin defined by areaX, areaY, areaWidth x areaHeight, with a baseline offset relative to that area.

This function does not resize the node and uses the node's layout bounds width and height to determine how it should be positioned within the area.

If the vertical alignment is VPos.BASELINE then it will position the node so that its own baseline aligns with the passed in baselineOffset, otherwise the baseline parameter is ignored.

If snapToPixel is true for this skin, then the x/y position values will be rounded to their nearest pixel boundaries.

Parameters:: child - the child being positioned within this skin; areaX - the horizontal offset of the layout area relative to this skin; areaY - the vertical offset of the layout area relative to this skin; areaWidth - the width of the layout area; areaHeight - the height of the layout area; areaBaselineOffset - the baseline offset to be used if VPos is BASELINE; halignment - the horizontal alignment for the child within the area; valignment - the vertical alignment for the child within the area

positionInArea

protected void positionInArea(Node child, double areaX, double areaY, double areaWidth, double areaHeight, double areaBaselineOffset, Insets margin, HPos halignment, VPos valignment)

Utility method which positions the child within an area of this skin defined by areaX, areaY, areaWidth x areaHeight, with a baseline offset relative to that area.

This function does not resize the node and uses the node's layout bounds width and height to determine how it should be positioned within the area.

If the vertical alignment is VPos.BASELINE then it will position the node so that its own baseline aligns with the passed in baselineOffset, otherwise the baseline parameter is ignored.

If snapToPixel is true for this skin, then the x/y position values will be rounded to their nearest pixel boundaries.

If margin is non-null, then that space will be allocated around the child within the layout area. margin may be null.

Parameters:: child - the child being positioned within this skin; areaX - the horizontal offset of the layout area relative to this skin; areaY - the vertical offset of the layout area relative to this skin; areaWidth - the width of the layout area; areaHeight - the height of the layout area; areaBaselineOffset - the baseline offset to be used if VPos is BASELINE; margin - the margin of space to be allocated around the child; halignment - the horizontal alignment for the child within the area; valignment - the vertical alignment for the child within the area
Since:: JavaFX 8.0

layoutInArea

protected void layoutInArea(Node child, double areaX, double areaY, double areaWidth, double areaHeight, double areaBaselineOffset, HPos halignment, VPos valignment)

Utility method which lays out the child within an area of this skin defined by areaX, areaY, areaWidth x areaHeight, with a baseline offset relative to that area.

If the child is resizable, this method will resize it to fill the specified area unless the node's maximum size prevents it. If the node's maximum size preference is less than the area size, the maximum size will be used. If node's maximum is greater than the area size, then the node will be resized to fit within the area, unless its minimum size prevents it.

If the child has a non-null contentBias, then this method will use it when resizing the child. If the contentBias is horizontal, it will set its width first to the area's width (up to the child's max width limit) and then pass that value to compute the child's height. If child's contentBias is vertical, then it will set its height to the area height (up to child's max height limit) and pass that height to compute the child's width. If the child's contentBias is null, then it's width and height have no dependencies on each other.

If the child is not resizable (Shape, Group, etc) then it will only be positioned and not resized.

If the child's resulting size differs from the area's size (either because it was not resizable or it's sizing preferences prevented it), then this function will align the node relative to the area using horizontal and vertical alignment values. If valignment is VPos.BASELINE then the node's baseline will be aligned with the area baseline offset parameter, otherwise the baseline parameter is ignored.

If snapToPixel is true for this skin, then the resulting x,y values will be rounded to their nearest pixel boundaries and the width/height values will be ceiled to the next pixel boundary.

Parameters:: child - the child being positioned within this skin; areaX - the horizontal offset of the layout area relative to this skin; areaY - the vertical offset of the layout area relative to this skin; areaWidth - the width of the layout area; areaHeight - the height of the layout area; areaBaselineOffset - the baseline offset to be used if VPos is BASELINE; halignment - the horizontal alignment for the child within the area; valignment - the vertical alignment for the child within the area

layoutInArea

protected void layoutInArea(Node child, double areaX, double areaY, double areaWidth, double areaHeight, double areaBaselineOffset, Insets margin, HPos halignment, VPos valignment)

Utility method which lays out the child within an area of this skin defined by areaX, areaY, areaWidth x areaHeight, with a baseline offset relative to that area.

If the child is not resizable (Shape, Group, etc) then it will only be positioned and not resized.

If margin is non-null, then that space will be allocated around the child within the layout area. margin may be null.

If snapToPixel is true for this skin, then the resulting x,y values will be rounded to their nearest pixel boundaries and the width/height values will be ceiled to the next pixel boundary.

Parameters:: child - the child being positioned within this skin; areaX - the horizontal offset of the layout area relative to this skin; areaY - the vertical offset of the layout area relative to this skin; areaWidth - the width of the layout area; areaHeight - the height of the layout area; areaBaselineOffset - the baseline offset to be used if VPos is BASELINE; margin - the margin of space to be allocated around the child; halignment - the horizontal alignment for the child within the area; valignment - the vertical alignment for the child within the area

layoutInArea

protected void layoutInArea(Node child, double areaX, double areaY, double areaWidth, double areaHeight, double areaBaselineOffset, Insets margin, boolean fillWidth, boolean fillHeight, HPos halignment, VPos valignment)

Utility method which lays out the child within an area of this skin defined by areaX, areaY, areaWidth x areaHeight, with a baseline offset relative to that area.

If the child is resizable, this method will use fillWidth and fillHeight to determine whether to resize it to fill the area or keep the child at its preferred dimension. If fillWidth/fillHeight are true, then this method will only resize the child up to its max size limits. If the node's maximum size preference is less than the area size, the maximum size will be used. If node's maximum is greater than the area size, then the node will be resized to fit within the area, unless its minimum size prevents it.

If the child has a non-null contentBias, then this method will use it when resizing the child. If the contentBias is horizontal, it will set its width first and then pass that value to compute the child's height. If child's contentBias is vertical, then it will set its height first and pass that value to compute the child's width. If the child's contentBias is null, then it's width and height have no dependencies on each other.

If the child is not resizable (Shape, Group, etc) then it will only be positioned and not resized.

If margin is non-null, then that space will be allocated around the child within the layout area. margin may be null.

If snapToPixel is true for this skin, then the resulting x,y values will be rounded to their nearest pixel boundaries and the width/height values will be ceiled to the next pixel boundary.

Parameters:: child - the child being positioned within this skin; areaX - the horizontal offset of the layout area relative to this skin; areaY - the vertical offset of the layout area relative to this skin; areaWidth - the width of the layout area; areaHeight - the height of the layout area; areaBaselineOffset - the baseline offset to be used if VPos is BASELINE; margin - the margin of space to be allocated around the child; fillWidth - whether or not the child should be resized to fill the area width or kept to its preferred width; fillHeight - whether or not the child should e resized to fill the area height or kept to its preferred height; halignment - the horizontal alignment for the child within the area; valignment - the vertical alignment for the child within the area
