Class Element

All Implemented Interfaces:
GeneralProperties, NodeParser, com.inet.report.ReferenceHolder, Serializable, Cloneable
Direct Known Subclasses:
AbstractFontElement, AbstractLineElement, AbstractPictureElement, Chart2, CrossTab, Paragraph, SignatureForm, Text

public abstract class Element extends ReportComponent implements GeneralProperties, Cloneable
The class Element is the superclass of all visible objects in the report.
Each of them is inheriting from this class. It holds the properties that all objects have in common, like position, size, color. The elements used in the report are saved in particular sections; you can get them with method Section.getElements() in class Section. Note that the returned array is a snapshot of the current state of the section. The reason for this is to allow you to insert elements into a section according to the current state without creating infinite loops. No field of the array contains an instance of class Element, each of them is an instance of the subclasses of Element.

    • parseElement

      public NodeParser parseElement(com.inet.report.parser.XMLTag group, String tag, Attributes atts, Map<String,Object> parserMap) throws FatalParserException
      FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Internal method for reading report XML

      Parses an XML node with the given information, and returns either a sub-element which was created as a result, or null if no sub-element was created, i.e. the information was applied to the ReportComponent itself. Note that the parsing is highly tolerant, i.e. exceptions are intercepted and suppressed if at all possible.

      Specified by:
      parseElement in interface NodeParser
      Overrides:
      parseElement in class ReportComponent
      Parameters:
      group - XMLTag of the current node to be parsed, or null if there is no such current group. An XMLTag is a group of nodes bundled together, usually it is a Properties node such as CommonProperties, BorderProperties, etc.
      tag - The XMLTag to be parsed
      atts - The set of attributes in the current XMLTag
      parserMap - The map of current Parser.
      Returns:
      The NodeParser sub-element if one needed to be created, or null if none was created.
      Throws:
      FatalParserException - if an exception occurs which causes the report to not be able to be read: causes the abortion of the reading of the report.

      Overrides:
      parseText in class ReportComponent
