public class GridContainerRenderer extends BlockRenderer
Represents a renderer for a grid.
  • Constructor Details

    • GridContainerRenderer

      public GridContainerRenderer (GridContainer modelElement)
      Creates a Grid renderer from its corresponding layout object.
      Parameters:
      modelElement - the GridContainer which this object should manage
  • Method Details

    • getNextRenderer

      public IRenderer getNextRenderer()
      Gets a new instance of this class to be used as a next renderer, after this renderer is used, if IRenderer.layout(LayoutContext) is called more than once.
      Returns:
      new renderer instance
    • layout

      public LayoutResult layout (LayoutContext layoutContext)
      This method simulates positioning of the renderer, including all of its children, and returns the LayoutResult, representing the layout result, including occupied area, status, i.e. if there was enough place to fit the renderer subtree, etc. LayoutResult can be extended to return custom layout results for custom elements, e.g. TextRenderer uses TextLayoutResult as its result. This method can be called standalone to learn how much area the renderer subtree needs, or can be called before IRenderer.draw(DrawContext), to prepare the renderer to be flushed to the output stream.
      Specified by:
      layout in interface IRenderer
      Overrides:
      layout in class BlockRenderer
      Parameters:
      layoutContext - the description of layout area and any other additional information
      Returns:
      result of the layout process

      Specified by:
      addChild in interface IRenderer
      Overrides:
