Method Detail

draw

public abstract void draw(int sizeX,
                          int sizeY,
                          Graphics gb)

Draws the current state of the sytem on the graphics buffer.

Parameters:

sizeX - is the x size of region on which to draw.

sizeY - is the y size of region on which to draw.

gb - is the graphics buffer on which to draw. It may be from an image or a canvas.

iterate

public abstract void iterate(int iterations)

Iterates the system.

Parameters:

iterations - is the number of iterations. Usually 1.

subiterate

public abstract void subiterate(int subiterations)

Does a subiteration, if applicable.

Parameters:

subiterations - is the number of subiterations. Usually 1.

reset

public abstract void reset()

Restarts the system. You will lose all state information.

getInfo

public String getInfo()

Returns a long string describing some info about current state. Override if you want such a function.

animateNum

public int animateNum()

Override this function if you want the system to hava an animation. Returns number of intermediate steps in the animation.

drawAnimate

public void drawAnimate(int sizeX,
                        int sizeY,
                        Graphics gb,
                        int animate)

Override this function if you want the system to hava an animation. Draws the Nth intermediate animation. 1 <= aniamte <= animateNum(). for (int animate = 1; animate <= animateNum(); animate++)
