Class ShadowLabel

java.lang.Object
  ciips.animation.Drawable
      ciips.animation.ShadowLabel

All Implemented Interfaces:

DrawingObj

public class ShadowLabel

extends Drawable

This is another example implementation of the DrawingObj interface. This particular class enables a test string to be displayed on the drawing panel with a shadowing effect. For example, the following lines initializes an instance of this class and display a text string "Hello" on the drawing panel with blue text color and gray shadow at position (100, 100):

	ShadowLabel helloLabel = new ShadowLabel("Hello");
	drawingPanel.addDrawingObj(helloLabel);
	helloLabel.move(100, 100);
	helloLabel.setColor(Color.blue);
	drawingPanel.redraw();
 

This object can be removed from the drawing panel by using the removeObj method from DrawingPanel.
