/** An Inspector is a JPanel containing information about some object,
and updates its displayed information when updateInspector() is called.
In-between calls to updateInspector(), the Inspector should show the same
information despite repeated repaints() etc.
Inspectors commonly also allow the user to change the information,
but this is not required: they can be "read-only" if desired.
Volatility.
Inspectors are either volatile (they change each frame) or non-volatile (they're generally static).
If your inspector is not volatile, you should call setInspectorVolatile(false). It's more efficient.
Some non-volatile inspectors never have their underlying data change except when the user tweaks
the inspector itself. Other non-volatile inspectors have the underlying data change but don't
reflect it automatically each frame because it's expensive to update the inspector.
In this second case (and for good measure the first case), you should provide a button
which manually updates the inspector via updateInspector(). The easiest way to do get such
a button is to call makeUpdateButton(), which will do it for you. You can then stick the
button in your inspector.
The Stopper. Most inspectors, particularly volatile ones, are scheduled repeating and so need
to have a way to be stopped if the user closes the inspector's window or otherwise clears it out. Normally
the system gets this Stoppable after scheduling the inspector repeating. Before it uses it, it first calls
reviseStopper(Stoppable). This gives you a chance to "wrap" the original Stoppable in a new one which calls
the original. Beware that the original Stoppable could in theory be null.
Why would you want to do this? So you can be informed of when the Stoppable has been called --
to flush a stream perhaps -- or to call the underlying Stoppable yourself for some reason. If you override
this method, be sure to call super.reviseStopper(Stoppable) first, and wrap what it returns. For example:
public Stoppable reviseStopper(Stoppable stopper)
{
final Stoppable newStopper = super.reviseStopper(stopper);
return new Stoppable() { public void stop()
{
if (newStopper!=null) newStopper.stop(); // wraps the stopper
System.out.println("Hey, I stopped!"); // do my thing
}};
}
Beware that your stopper may and probably will have its stop() method called multiple times.
The Frame. Some inspectors are placed in separate JFrames either immediately or later on when
the user requests that the inspector be "detatched". When this happens, the system will call createFrame(Stoppable)
to get a JFrame with the inspector in it. The Stoppable passed in is the same one that the system received from reviseStopper(Stoppable).
In most cases you probably don't need to change anything about the JFrame. But occasionally you might want to
override the createFrame(Stoppable) method to revise the JFrame in some way: perhaps to change its title, say. If you do,
you probably should call super.createFrame(Stoppable), and use that existing JFrame, as the super method does a few
other nice things as well (such as attaching the Stoppable to the close box on the JFrame).
For example, the default version of the createFrame(Stoppable) places the Inspector in a JFrame with a scroll panel.
You may not want this behavior. If this is the case, you might do something like this:
public JFrame createFrame(Stoppable stopper)
{
JFrame frame = super.createFrame(stopper);
frame.removeAll(); // get rid of scroll pane
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.add(this, BorderLayout.CENTER); // I fill the whole frame
frame.setTitle("I prefer this title"); // here's my new title
frame.pack();
}
