public abstract class FieldPortrayal
extends java.lang.Object

A FieldPortrayal is an object which knows how to portray some kind of Field.

This abstract version of FieldPortrayal provides some basic functionality that many FieldPortrayals may find handy. This functionality allows a FieldPortrayal to store Portrayal objects responsible for drawing various objects within the Field. For example, a SparseGrid2D holds a bunch of objects: the SparseGridPortrayal2D, which is a FieldPortrayal, lets you store Portrayal objects which know how to draw the various objects in the SparseGrid2D.

The default version of the setField(...) method sets the field without checking to see if it's a valid field or not; you'll want to override this to check.

You can associate a Portrayal object with an object stored in the Field in several ways. First, you can specify one Portrayal object to be used for ALL objects stored in the field, using setPortrayalForAll. Second, you can specify a Portrayal object to be used for objects in a Field all belonging to the same class, using setPortrayalForClassOf. Third, you can specify a Portrayal for a specific object, using setPortrayalForObject.

You can get the desired Portrayal for an object by calling getPortrayalForObject. This method looks up the Portrayal for an object by going down the following checklist until a Portrayal is found (earlier checklist items take precedence over later ones):

  1. If there is a portrayalForAll, return it.
  2. If the object is null:
    1. Return the portrayalForNull if there is one
    2. If a portrayal is explicitly registered for null, return that portrayal.
    3. Return the defaultNullPortrayal.
  3. If the object is non-null:
    1. If the object implements the appropriate Portrayal interface, return the object itself as its own Portrayal.
    2. Return the portrayalForNonNull if there is one
    3. If a portrayal is explicitly registered for the object, return that portrayal. Portrayals may be registered for null as well.
    4. If a Portrayal is registered for the object's exact class (superclasses are ignored), return that portrayal.
    5. Return the portrayalForRemainder if there is one
    6. Return the default Portrayal object.

FieldPortrayals store Portrayal objects in WeakHashMaps. This means that if you register a Portrayal explicitly for an object, and then later the object is eliminated from your model, the FieldPortrayal will not hold onto the object or onto its Portrayal, but will allow them to garbage collect as well. Thus you don't have to worry about de-registering an object.

Some FieldPortrayals benefit (draw faster) if they know that their underlying field is immutable, that is, it never changes. Notably, most FieldPortrayal3Ds benefit, as well as various ValueGrid2DPortrayals.

public void setPortrayalForNull(Portrayal portrayal)
Set the portrayal to null to remove it.
