Class Reform

java.lang.Object

      net.nexttext.behaviour.dform.DForm
          net.nexttext.behaviour.dform.Reform

All Implemented Interfaces:

Action

public class Reform
extends DForm

A DForm which reverts TextObject to its original shape.

Different ways of reforming the glyphs are provided, which given different visual effects.

The current ActionResult returned specifies that a Reform action never terminates, it sends a true event once it's reformed. We probably want to change it so that it can terminate. If needs be, the Reform could be put into a Repeat behaviour.

Reform()
Constructs a default Reform of linear style with a default speed of 0.05.

Reform(float speed, int style)
Constructs a custom Reform with given style and appropriate speed.

Constructor Detail

Reform

public Reform()

Constructs a default Reform of linear style with a default speed of 0.05.

Reform

public Reform(float speed,
              int style)

Constructs a custom Reform with given style and appropriate speed.

In exponential style, smaller values give faster reforms, the default value is 2000.

In linear style, smaller values give slower reforms, the default value is 0.05

.

Parameters:

speed - the speed value according to the chosen style

style - the type of reformation (linear or exponential)

Method Detail

behave

public Action.ActionResult behave(TextObjectGlyph to)

Description copied from class: DForm

DForms generally just make sense on TextObjectGlyphs.

Specified by:

behave in class DForm

getExponentialSpeed

public float getExponentialSpeed()

setExponentialSpeed

public void setExponentialSpeed(float exponentialSpeed)

Sets the speed of the reform when using the exponential style.

Parameters:

exponentialSpeed - an appropriate speed for exponential style

getLinearSpeed

public float getLinearSpeed()

setLinearSpeed

public void setLinearSpeed(float linearSpeed)

Sets the speed of the reform when using the linear style.

Parameters:

linearSpeed - an appropriate speed for linear style

setStyleLinear

public void setStyleLinear()

Linear style of reformation doesn't deform glyph shape.

setStyleExponential

public void setStyleExponential()

Exponential style reformation preserves deformations longer.
