Method Detail

setEffect

public static void setEffect(java.awt.Component component,
                             ComponentEffect effect,
                             EffectsManager.TransitionType transitionType)

This method is used to cache a custom effect on a per-component basis for the application. Note that these custom effects are application wide for the duration of the process, or until a new or null effect is set for this component. Note also that custom effects are registered according to the TransitionType. So a custom TransitionType.CHANGING effect for a given component will have no bearing on the effect used in a transition where the component either appears or disappers between the transition states.

Parameters:

component - The Component that this effect should be applied to

effect - The custom effect desired. A null argument effectively cancels any prior custom value for this component and this TransitionType

transitionType - The type of transition to apply this effect on

getEffect

public static ComponentEffect getEffect(java.awt.Component component,
                                        EffectsManager.TransitionType transitionType)

This method is called during the setup phase for any transition. It queries the cache for custom effects for a given component and TransitionType

Parameters:

component - The component we are querying on behalf of

transitionType - The type of transition that the component is going to undergo

Returns:

ComponentEffect A null return value indicates that there is no custom effect associated with this component and transition type
