algoanim.properties.items
Class AnimationPropertyItem

java.lang.Object
  algoanim.properties.items.AnimationPropertyItem

All Implemented Interfaces:

Visitable, java.lang.Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

BooleanPropertyItem, ColorPropertyItem, DoublePropertyItem, EnumerationPropertyItem, FontPropertyItem, IntegerPropertyItem, StringPropertyItem

public abstract class AnimationPropertyItem
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable, Visitable

This class defines the base for the distinct PropertyItems, which are responsible to hold exactly one instance of one value. The method set() provides a definition for each PropertyItem. The derived PropertyItem just overrides the method which belongs to its type. Hence each try to set a PropertyItem to an invalid type results in an IllegalArgumentException as preimplemented in this class.
