Package edu.umd.cs.jazz.util

This package defines several utility classes that are likely to be useful for Jazz applications.

Description

Interface Summary

ZFindFilter	ZFindFilter provides a general interface that is used to determine if a specified node should be accepted.
ZLerp	ZLerp is an interface for specifying how to interpolate a float over an interval.
ZLoadable	ZLoadable is an interface that defines objects that can be dynamically loaded into Jazz, and be made aware of the basic scenegraph structure so that it can add itself to the application and do something useful.
ZSceneGraphEditorFactory

Class Summary

ZBounds	ZBounds is simply a Rectangle2D.Float with extra methods that more properly deal with the case when the rectangle is "empty".
ZBoundsFindFilter	ZBoundsFindFilter is a filter that accepts visual and terminal nodes that overlap the specified bounds in global coordinates.
ZCanvas	ZCanvas is a simple Swing component that can be used to render onto for Jazz.
ZDebug	ZDebug provides static methods for maintaining/setting/retrieving global debugging state.
ZLayout	ZLayout is a utility class that provides general-purpose layout mechanisms to position nodes.
ZMagBoundsFindFilter	ZMagBoundsFindFilter is a filter that accepts "terminal" nodes that overlap the specified bounds in global coordinates, but only if the object is within its visible magnification range.
ZObjectReferenceTable	ZObjectReferenceTable helps to manage the references between objects within the scenegraph when a portion of the scenegraph is duplicated with clone().
ZProperty	ZProperty represents a ZNode client property.
ZRenderContext	ZRenderContext stores information relevant to the current render as it occurs.
ZSceneGraphEditor	ZSceneGraphEditor provides a convenience mechanism used to locate and create instances of the following types of group nodes:
ZSceneGraphPath	ZSceneGraphPath represents a unique path in a scene graph from a top-level camera to a terminal node.
ZUtil	provides some generic, useful routines.

Exception Summary

ZDanglingReferenceException	Thrown to indicate that a node that was being searched for in the scenegraph was not found.
ZNodeNotFoundException	ZNodeNotFoundException is an exception that is thrown to indicate that a node that was being searched for in the scenegraph was not found.
ZTooManyChildrenException	ZTooManyChildrenException is an exception that is thrown to indicate that an operation was attempted that would have resulted in a decorator node having more than one child.
