Class RenderingHints.Key

java.lang.Object

java.awt.RenderingHints.Key

Enclosing class:

RenderingHints

public abstract static class RenderingHints.Key
extends Object

Defines the base type of all keys used along with the RenderingHints class to control various algorithm choices in the rendering and imaging pipelines. Instances of this class are immutable and unique which means that tests for matches can be made using the == operator instead of the more expensive equals() method.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
protected Object	clone()	Creates and returns a copy of this object.
protected void	finalize()	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. Finalization is deprecated and subject to removal in a future release.
final Class<?>	getClass()	Returns the runtime class of this Object.

final void	notifyAll()	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
String	toString()	Returns a string representation of the object.
final void	wait()	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
final void	wait(long timeoutMillis)	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
final void	wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

Constructor Details

Key

protected Key(int privatekey)

Construct a key using the indicated private key. Each subclass of Key maintains its own unique domain of integer keys. No two objects with the same integer key and of the same specific subclass can be constructed. An exception will be thrown if an attempt is made to construct another object of a given class with the same integer key as a pre-existing instance of that subclass of Key.

Parameters:

privatekey - the specified key

Method Details

isCompatibleValue

public abstract boolean isCompatibleValue(Object val)

Returns true if the specified object is a valid value for this Key.

Parameters:

val - the Object to test for validity

Returns:

true if val is valid; false otherwise.

intKey

protected final int intKey()

Returns the private integer key that the subclass instantiated this Key with.

Returns:

the private integer key that the subclass instantiated this Key with.

hashCode

public final int hashCode()

The hash code for all Key objects will be the same as the system identity code of the object as defined by the System.identityHashCode() method.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this object

• Object.equals(java.lang.Object)
• System.identityHashCode(Object)

equals

public final boolean equals(Object o)

The equals method for all Key objects will return the same result as the equality operator '=='.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
