Defines the base type of all keys used to control various
aspects of 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.
Constructor Summary
protected
RenderingHints.Key(int privatekey)
Construct a key using the indicated private key.
Method Summary
boolean
equals(Object o)
The equals method for all Key objects will return the same
result as the equality operator '=='.
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.
protected int
intKey()
Returns the private integer key that the subclass
instantiated this Key with.
abstract boolean
isCompatibleValue(Object val)
Returns true if the specified object is a valid value
for this Key.
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.
Method Detail
isCompatibleValue
public abstract boolean isCompatibleValue(Object val)
Returns true if the specified object is a valid value
for this Key.
intKey
protected final int intKey()
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.
