Interface CellGraphicFactory<T extends javafx.scene.Node>

public interface CellGraphicFactory<T extends javafx.scene.Node>

If anyone wants to display a specific Graphic only for visible SpreadsheetCell, a solution is to provide a Node (for example a WebView) that will be displayed in the cell. Because a Node can consume a lot of memory, this CellGraphicFactory will recycle the Nodes to only provide them for visible cells.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
javafx.scene.Node	getNode(SpreadsheetCell cell) Returns a Node to display in the cell graphic.
java.lang.Class	getType() Returns the exact class used in this CellGraphicFactory.
void	load(T node, SpreadsheetCell cell) When a Node is reused (transfered from one cell to another for example), we ask the Node to reload.
void	loadStyle(T node, SpreadsheetCell cell, javafx.scene.text.Font font, javafx.scene.paint.Paint textFill, javafx.geometry.Pos alignment, javafx.scene.layout.Background background) Once a SpreadsheetCell has been effectively loaded in the grid, this method is called if the Node wants to access the cell's graphic details.
void	setUnusedNode(T node) Once a Node is no longer used in a cell, it is given back.

Method Detail

getNode

javafx.scene.Node getNode(SpreadsheetCell cell)

Returns a Node to display in the cell graphic. This is called internally by the SpreadsheetView when a cell is being visible and needs to display a Node.

Parameters:

cell - the considered SpreadsheetCell

Returns:

a Node to display in the cell graphic

load

void load(T node,
          SpreadsheetCell cell)

When a Node is reused (transfered from one cell to another for example), we ask the Node to reload. Beware, only reload when necessary : This method can be called several times with the same node and cell.

Parameters:

node - the Node affected to the cell

cell - the considered SpreadsheetCell

loadStyle

void loadStyle(T node,
               SpreadsheetCell cell,
               javafx.scene.text.Font font,
               javafx.scene.paint.Paint textFill,
               javafx.geometry.Pos alignment,
               javafx.scene.layout.Background background)

Once a SpreadsheetCell has been effectively loaded in the grid, this method is called if the Node wants to access the cell's graphic details.

Parameters:

node - the considered Node, may be null for empty cell.

cell - the considered SpreadsheetCell

font - the cell Font

textFill - the text's color

alignment - the cell's vertical and horizontal alignment

background - the cell's background

setUnusedNode

void setUnusedNode(T node)

Once a Node is no longer used in a cell, it is given back.

Parameters:

node - the Node

getType

java.lang.Class getType()

Returns the exact class used in this CellGraphicFactory. It is used to determine if the cell's graphic is handled by the cell of by this interface.

Returns:

the exact class used in this CellGraphicFactory
