build

public void build(org.w3c.dom.Element el)

Description copied from interface: Buildable

Build the object

Overrides:

build in class AbstractBuildable

Following copied from interface: VASSAL.build.Buildable

Parameters:

e - the XML element containing the object data

getDocumentationBaseDir

public static java.io.File getDocumentationBaseDir()

addTo

public void addTo(Buildable b)

Description copied from interface: Buildable

Adds this component to its parent. In order to make Buildable objects extensible, the child is reponsible for adding itself to the parent. That way, Buildable subcomponents can be defined in an extension package without needing to modify the containing class.

removeFrom

public void removeFrom(Buildable b)

Description copied from interface: Configurable

Remove this component from its parent

getAttributeDescriptions

public java.lang.String[] getAttributeDescriptions()

Description copied from class: AbstractConfigurable

Return an array of Strings describing the attributes of this object. These strings are used as prompts in the Properties window for this object. The order of descriptions should be the same as the order of names in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

Overrides:

getAttributeDescriptions in class AbstractConfigurable

getAttributeTypes

public java.lang.Class[] getAttributeTypes()

Description copied from class: AbstractConfigurable

Return the Class for the attributes of this object. Valid classes are: String, Integer, Double, Boolean, Image, Color, and KeyStroke The order of classes should be the same as the order of names in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

Overrides:

getAttributeTypes in class AbstractConfigurable

getConfigurer

public Configurer getConfigurer()

Description copied from class: AbstractConfigurable

The default Configurer of an AbstractConfigurable class is an instance of AutoConfigurer

Overrides:

getConfigurer in class AbstractConfigurable

getAllowableConfigureComponents

public java.lang.Class[] getAllowableConfigureComponents()

Description copied from interface: Configurable

Return a list of valid sub-component Classes. If a Class appears in this list, then instances of that class may be added to this component from the Configuration Window.

getConfigureTypeName

public static java.lang.String getConfigureTypeName()

getConfigureName

public java.lang.String getConfigureName()

Description copied from interface: Configurable

The name of this Configurable Object

Overrides:

getConfigureName in class AbstractConfigurable

getHelpFile

public HelpFile getHelpFile()

Following copied from interface: VASSAL.build.Configurable

Returns:

a HelpFilte describing how to use and configure this component

getAttributeNames

public java.lang.String[] getAttributeNames()

Overrides:

getAttributeNames in class AbstractBuildable

Following copied from interface: VASSAL.build.AutoConfigurable

Returns:

an array of Strings giving all attributes of this Buildable component that will be written to/read from an XML element

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from interface: AutoConfigurable

Called by the Buildable.build(org.w3c.dom.Element) method, where value is the String value read by the XML attribute. Can also be called with Object value to set the attribute.

Overrides:

setAttribute in class AbstractBuildable

Following copied from class: VASSAL.build.AbstractBuildable

Parameters:

key - the name of the attribute. Will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

getAttributeValueString

public java.lang.String getAttributeValueString(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: AutoConfigurable

Called by the Buildable.getBuildElement(org.w3c.dom.Document) method to write the attributes into an XML element

Overrides:

getAttributeValueString in class AbstractBuildable

Following copied from class: VASSAL.build.AbstractBuildable

Parameters:

key - the name of the attribute. Will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()
