The acm.util Package
This package includes several classes that are common to the ACM package
suite.
Novice users of the package will, in general, not need to use most of
these classes.
The following list provides a brief description of each of the
acm.util classes, starting with the classes that are
most likely to be of use:
RandomGenerator-
This class extends the
Random class from
java.util and offers a few useful simplifications
for working with pseudorandom values.
MediaTools-
This class includes several static methods that support the use of
images and sounds.
SoundClip-
This class represents a sound that can be played through the computer.
MovieClip-
This class represents a QuickTime movie that can be played on the screen.
ErrorException-
This class is used to signal errors anywhere in the ACM Java Library
collection. The primary advantage of
ErrorException
is that it is defined as a RuntimeException subclass
and therefore does not need to be caught or declared in a
throws clause.
CancelledException-
This class allows a dialog to signal clients that it has been
cancelled.
FileChooserFilter-
This class allows a dialog to signal clients that it has been
cancelled.
Platform-
This class contains several methods that support platform-specific code.
SwingTimer-
This class is equivalent to
javax.swing.Timer and
exists only to avoid the ambiguity that arises because there is
also a Timer class in java.util.
FileChooserFilter-
This class provides a simple implementation of the abstract
FileFilter class
in javax.swing.filechooser.
OptionTable-
This class implements a simple tool for parsing key/value pairs from
a string. Its primary use is for parsing the options used in the
TableLayout class in the acm.gui
package.
JTFTools-
This class provides a collection of static utility methods
that are used elsewhere in the ACM packages.
