public abstract class MapCanvasAWT extends MapCanvas
A canvas for maps to be rendered using Java2D from Abstract Window Toolkit. The map is rendered using Java2D in a background thread, then copied in a JavaFX image. Java2D is used for rendering the map because it may contain too many elements for a scene graph. After the map has been rendered, other JavaFX nodes can be put on top of the map, typically for controls by the user.

  • Field Details

    • imageMargin

      public final ObjectProperty<Insets> imageMargin
      Number of additional pixels to paint on each sides of the image, outside the viewing area. Computing a larger image reduces the black borders that user sees during translations or during zoom out before the new image is repainted.
    • image

      protected final ImageView image
      The node where the rendered map will be shown. Its content is prepared in a background thread by Map­Canvas­AWT​.Renderer. Subclasses should not set the image content directly.

  • Method Details

    • createRenderer

      protected abstract MapCanvasAWT.Renderer createRenderer()
      Invoked in JavaFX thread for creating a renderer to be executed in a background thread. Subclasses should copy in this method all Map­Canvas properties that the background thread will need for performing the rendering process.
      Specified by:
      create­Renderer in class Map­Canvas
      Returns:
      rendering process to be executed in background thread, or null if there is nothing to paint.
