Summary:The ShapeContainer is a container of a shape element (ShapeElement). If the shape element is a group element (GroupElement), the ShapeContainer represents a group of shapes.
Relevant major classes of Java SE: java.awt, java.awt.geom
Class on this page: ShapeContainer

1. Overview
1.1 Structure of the ShapeContainer
∙ The ShapeContainer class is a container of a various kind of shape element (ShapeElement).
∙ The ShapeContainer can be a container of grouped shapes. In this case, the ShapeContainer has a group element (GroupElement).
∙ The ShapeContainer always has a PaintStyle object which defines the drawing style of a ShapeElement and it can have a TextBox object.

1.2 A single and a group shape

(a) Sample Drawings
The gray small texts such as Round_Rectangle(No-0), Rectangle(No-4) and so on represent the shape name (shapeId) of the ShsperContainer.


(b) Components - Group shapes


(c) The Structure of ContainerList.
∙ Group shape and single shape:

The Group(No-0), Group(No-1) and so on are group shapes, and the others are single shapes.

∙ The child elements of a group shape:

They are stored in the childrenList (ArrayList) of group element. In (c), links from childrenList to child elements are represented by arrows.

1.3 Drawing the ShapeContainer
Object
Description
Shape element
Calls the DrawShapeUtil.drawShapeElement method to draw the shape element.
If the shape element is a GroupElement, then calls the drawShape method of the child ShapeContainer recursively.
TextBox
Gets the TextBox object which is linked from the ShapeContainer and calls the TextBox.drawTextBox method.
Selection box, resize handles
If the shape element is a line, calls the DrawShapeUtil.drawLineSelection method, othewise calls the DrawShapeUtil.drawSelection method.
∙ Line:Draws the resize handles at the endpoints (Figure 5).
∙ Others:Draws the selection box and resize handles (Figure 3). If the shape element is a open polyline or a open curve, then draws the the resize handles at the endpoints (Figure 5).
: The line width of the selection box and the mark size of the resize handles are independent of the scale (zoom) factor (Figure 4). This is because if these are dependent of the scale (zoom) factor, the selection box and the resize handles are displayed small on the canvas for the small scale factor, then the operation of moving a shape with the selection box or resizing a shape with the resize handle may be difficult.
Control points, tangent lines Calls the DrawShapeUtil.drawSegmentModifiers method.
The control shapes means control points and tangent lines which are used for modifying a shape.
=> Figure 1.2, Figure 1.3, Figure 1.4 in Modifying shape
The node points of a polyline and a cubic curve
Calls the DrawShapeUtil.drawNodeMark to draw the node points (Figure 6).

public class ShapeContainer
Field Description
shapeId
private String shapeId
The identifier of a shape object which is configured from a key word - a string representing a type of a shape element - and a serial number. Here, the key word is "Line", "Polyline", "Rectangle", "Ellipse" or so on, and the serial number is generated by the ContainerManager.getUniqueSerialNumber method.
(a)The clone of a ShapeContainer has the same shapeId as the original ShapeContainer.
(b)When a shape element of a ShapeContainer object is replaced, the portion of the shapeId related to the shape element type changes, but its serial number does not change.
For (a) and (b) above, set a new shapeId before writing to ContainerList by ContainerManager.
The new shapeId can be obtained with the setNewShapeId method of this class.
: shapeId => "Rectangle(No-1)", "Round_Rectangle(No-2)", "Ellipse(No-3)", "Image(No-4)", "Line(No-10)", "Polyline(No-11)", "CubicCurve(No-12)", "GeneralCurve(No-13)", "Group(No-14)".

If the ShapeContainer or its linked objects (ShapeElement, PaintStyle, TextBox) are changed, the change code is set to this field. The change codes are defined in the UndoConstants class.
connectorTarget
Permission

boolean connectorTarget
Permission

True if the shape allows to be connected by connectors.
