public abstract class GraphEventsCollector
extends Component
implements KeyListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListener
This class serves as a basis for development of Collectors - that do all of the actual editing, manipulating stretching, folding etc. of the graphs. Collectors, recieve (user generated) events from all objects on the Graph Panel (and the Graph Panel, itself). These events, and their sequences have different meaning, in different contexts (node or edge drawing, for example). This is where the semantics is resolved, and actions over the graph are performed accordingly (placing the node if mouse click occured on the graph panel in the Node Draw Collector). To succesfully design a new Collector class, you have to design your own schemes of events, and how you want them to be processed. Familiarity with Hashtable is essential, since edges and nodes are stored in hashtables in the GraphDisplay. As for composing several Collectors, at this time there is a rudimentary support for this kind of collector construction. You can create Host and Extension Collectors - Extension Collectors are hosted by the Hosts. For example how this works, take a look at the Selection (host) and Movement (extension) Collectors. Movement is activated on the top of Selection, so that selected nodes and edges can be moved around. While Movement Collector accepts events, and moves nodes, Selection displays marks on the selected Edges, and can be used for copy-pasting/deleting parts of the Graph.
