public interface Style
This is a marker interface extended by all interfaces for getting or setting a type of style information. EachStyle
subinterface defines a collection of getters and setters that together are used to control the parameters of that style. For example, theLineStyle
defines getters and setters for the line width, colour, dash pattern, and so on.No two styles can share a common method name. For example, the
OutlineStyle
also defines a style dealing with lines (outlines of objects), but it uses distinct method names so that an item (or group of items) can implement both styles.The style information for one or more
PageItem
s can be read and written between different classes that have one or moreStyle
interface(s) in common using aStyleCapture
. This allows you to, for example, capture the style of one object and then apply it to other objects.To add a new kind of editable page item style that can be edited by the user, you must define both a
Style
subinterface the defines the getters and setters needed to modify the style and aStylePanel
class that provides the interface controls to edit the style. The framework will take care of the rest: if a page item is selected that implements yourStyle
, then the user will have the option to edit the item's style and a suitable interface control will be created usingStylePanelFactory
