FlipBufferStrategy
Creates a new flipping buffer strategy for this component. The component must be aCanvas
orWindow
orApplet
.- Parameters:
numBuffers
- the number of bufferscaps
- the capabilities of the buffers- Throws:
AWTException
- if the capabilities supplied could not be supported or metClassCastException
- if the component is not a canvas or window.IllegalStateException
- if the component has no peerIllegalArgumentException
- ifnumBuffers
is less than two, or ifBufferCapabilities.isPageFlipping
is nottrue

Method Details
-
createBuffers
Creates one or more complex, flipping buffers with the given capabilities.- Parameters:
numBuffers
- number of buffers to create; must be greater than onecaps
- the capabilities of the buffers.BufferCapabilities.isPageFlipping
must betrue
.- Throws:
AWTException
- if the capabilities supplied could not be supported or metIllegalStateException
- if the component has no peerIllegalArgumentException
- if numBuffers is less than two, or ifBufferCapabilities.isPageFlipping
is nottrue
.- See Also:
-
getBackBuffer
Provides direct access to the back buffer as an image.- Returns:
- the back buffer as an image
- Throws:
IllegalStateException
- if the buffers have not yet been created
-
flip
Flipping moves the contents of the back buffer to the front buffer, either by copying or by moving the video pointer.- Parameters:
flipAction
- an integer value describing the flipping action for the contents of the back buffer. This should be one of the values of theBufferCapabilities.FlipContents
property.- Throws:
IllegalStateException
- if the buffers have not yet been created- See Also:
-
destroyBuffers
protected void destroyBuffers()Destroys the buffers created through this object -
getCapabilities
Description copied from class:BufferStrategy
Returns theBufferCapabilities
for thisBufferStrategy
.- Specified by:
getCapabilities
in classBufferStrategy
- Returns:
- the buffering capabilities of this strategy
-
getDrawGraphics
Description copied from class:BufferStrategy
Creates a graphics context for the drawing buffer. This method may not be synchronized for performance reasons; use of this method by multiple threads should be handled at the application level. Disposal of the graphics object obtained must be handled by the application.- Specified by:
getDrawGraphics
in classBufferStrategy
- Returns:
- the graphics on the drawing buffer. This method may not be synchronized for performance reasons; use of this method by multiple threads should be handled at the application level. Disposal of the graphics object must be handled by the application.
-
revalidate
protected void revalidate()Restore the drawing buffer if it has been lost -
contentsLost
public boolean contentsLost()Description copied from class:BufferStrategy
Returns whether the drawing buffer was lost since the last call togetDrawGraphics
. Since the buffers in a buffer strategy are usually typeVolatileImage
, they may become lost. For a discussion on lost buffers, seeVolatileImage
.- Specified by:
contentsLost
in classBufferStrategy
- Returns:
- whether the drawing buffer was lost since the last call to
getDrawGraphics
- See Also:
-
contentsRestored
public boolean contentsRestored()Description copied from class:BufferStrategy
Returns whether the drawing buffer was recently restored from a lost state and reinitialized to the default background color (white). Since the buffers in a buffer strategy are usually typeVolatileImage
, they may become lost. If a surface has been recently restored from a lost state since the last call togetDrawGraphics
, it may require repainting. For a discussion on lost buffers, seeVolatileImage
.- Specified by:
contentsRestored
in classBufferStrategy
- Returns:
- whether the drawing buffer was recently restored from a lost state and reinitialized to the default background color (white)
- See Also:
-
show
public void show()Makes the next available buffer visible by either blitting or flipping.- Specified by:
show
in classBufferStrategy
-
dispose
public void dispose()Releases system resources currently consumed by thisBufferStrategy
and removes it from the associated Component. After invoking this method,getBufferStrategy
will return null. Trying to use aBufferStrategy
after it has been disposed will result in undefined behavior.- Overrides:
dispose
