TraceGeneratingView

Determines if the given state is a “done state” for the view. By default, this is never the case, but that behavior can be overridden.

Once done, the view stops reacting to events and updating its graphics and may close its GUI window, depending on the constructor parameters of the view.

Returns a Pic that graphically represents the current state of the view’s model object. This method is automatically invoked by the view after GUI events and clock ticks. Left abstract by this class so any concrete view needs to add a custom implementation.

For best results, all invocations of this method on a single view object should return Pics of equal dimensions.

Causes an effect whenever a mouse button is clicked (pressed+released, possibly multiple times in sequence) above the view. Does nothing by default but can be overridden.

If the desired behavior depends on detailed information about the GUI event, you may want to implement the other method of the same name instead of this one.

Causes an effect whenever a mouse button is clicked (pressed+released, possibly multiple times in sequence) above the view. Does nothing by default but can be overridden.

If you don’t need much information about the GUI event, you may find it simpler to implement the other method of the same name instead of this one.

Causes an effect whenever a key on the keyboard is pressed down while the view has the keyboard focus. Does nothing by default but can be overridden.

Causes an effect whenever the mouse cursor is dragged above the view. Does nothing by default but can be overridden.

Causes an effect whenever the mouse cursor enters the view. Does nothing by default but can be overridden.

Causes an effect whenever the mouse cursor exits the view. Does nothing by default but can be overridden.

Causes an effect whenever the mouse cursor moves above the view. Does nothing by default but can be overridden.

If the desired behavior depends on detailed information about the GUI event, you may want to implement the other method of the same name instead of this one.

Causes an effect whenever the view’s internal clock ticks. Does nothing by default but can be overridden.

Causes an effect whenever the view’s internal clock ticks. Does nothing by default but can be overridden.

If you don’t need the number of the clock tick, you may find it simpler to implement the other method of the same name instead of this one.

Causes an effect whenever a key on the keyboard is typed (pressed+released) while the view has the keyboard focus. Does nothing by default but can be overridden.

If the desired behavior depends on detailed information about the GUI event, you may want to implement the other method of the same name instead of this one.

Causes an effect whenever the mouse wheel is rotated above the view. Does nothing by default but can be overridden.

Determines whether the view should play a sound, given the current state of its model. By default, no sounds are played.

Indicates whether the view is paused. This implementation delegates to the underlying View that is being traced.

the model object represented in the view.

Causes an additional effect when the view is stopped (with stop()). This implementation delegates to the underlying View that is being traced. In addition, if the traced view had been started with startAndGet and reaches its tick limit before being done, this method causes the returned future to complete with a failure.

Programmatically requests an update to the graphics of the view (even though no clock tick or triggering GUI event occurred).

Simulates this trace-generating view with simulate and returns the resulting trace. This is equivalent to calling first simulate, then trace. See also startAndGet.

Starts this trace-generating view with start and returns a Future that evaluates to the resulting trace. The Future succeeds when the view is done; if the view isn’t done after a given number of clock ticks, the Future fails with TraceAborted, producing a partial trace. See also simulateAndGet.

Returns a brief textual description of the view.

Returns a trace of the events processed by this view. The trace comes in a collection of pairs, each of which is composed of a TraceData value that describes at the time of the event and a TraceEvent value that describes the event itself.

Returns a View that stores a trace of the ticks and GUI events that its event handlers process. This parameterless method stores, at each event, the toString description of the View’s (mutable) model. This is equivalent to calling tracedWith and passing in that toString method.

Returns a View that stores a pictorial trace of the ticks and GUI events that the View’s event handlers process. This is equivalent to calling tracedWith and passing in the View’s makePic method.
