java.lang.Objectjava.awt.BasicStroke
The BasicStroke class defines a basic set of rendering
attributes for the outlines of graphics primitives, which are rendered
with a Graphics2D object that has its Stroke attribute set to
this BasicStroke.
The rendering attributes defined by BasicStroke describe
the shape of the mark made by a pen drawn along the outline of a
Shape and the decorations applied at the ends and joins of
path segments of the Shape.
These rendering attributes include:
SEG_CLOSE
for more information on the CLOSE segment.
The three different decorations are: CAP_BUTT,
CAP_ROUND, and CAP_SQUARE.
SEG_CLOSE.
The three different decorations are: JOIN_BEVEL,
JOIN_MITER, and JOIN_ROUND.
Shape
argument. When a Graphics2D object uses a
Stroke object to redefine a path during the execution
of one of its draw methods, the geometry is supplied
in its original form before the Graphics2D transform
attribute is applied. Therefore, attributes such as the pen width
are interpreted in the user space coordinate system of the
Graphics2D object and are subject to the scaling and
shearing effects of the user-space-to-device-space transform in that
particular Graphics2D.
For example, the width of a rendered shape's outline is determined
not only by the width attribute of this BasicStroke,
but also by the transform attribute of the
Graphics2D object. Consider this code:
// sets the Graphics2D object's Tranform attribute g2d.scale(10, 10); // sets the Graphics2D object's Stroke attribute g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(1.5f));Assuming there are no other scaling transforms added to the
Graphics2D object, the resulting line
will be approximately 15 pixels wide.
As the example code demonstrates, a floating-point line
offers better precision, especially when large transforms are
used with a Graphics2D object.
When a line is diagonal, the exact width depends on how the
rendering pipeline chooses which pixels to fill as it traces the
theoretical widened outline. The choice of which pixels to turn
on is affected by the antialiasing attribute because the
antialiasing rendering pipeline can choose to color
partially-covered pixels.
For more information on the user space coordinate system and the
rendering process, see the Graphics2D class comments.
