Re: [Cdk-devel] How to set and AtomContainerRenderer background color, and other probably-naive parameter related questions

[John M. <joh...@gm...>]

Hi Cyrus,

Yes it is a rather convoluted. The background property only sets the background of the (some) text elements (it draws text on top of bonds with a bounding box). As well as setting the parameter (see below) you also need to fill the background first. Here’s an example:

        IAtomContainer container =...;
        AtomContainerRenderer renderer = new AtomContainerRenderer(Arrays.asList(new BasicSceneGenerator(),
                                                                                 new BasicBondGenerator(),
                                                                                 new BasicAtomGenerator()),
                                                                   new AWTFontManager());

        int w = 512, h = 512;
        Color bg = Color.LIGHT_GRAY;

        renderer.getRenderer2DModel().set(BasicSceneGenerator.BackgroundColor.class,
                                          bg);

        BufferedImage img    = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_4BYTE_ABGR);
        Graphics2D    g2     = img.createGraphics();
        Rectangle2D   bounds = new Rectangle2D.Double(0, 0, w, h);
        g2.setBackground(bg);
        g2.clearRect(0, 0, w, h);
        renderer.paint(container, new AWTDrawVisitor(g2), bounds, true);
        g2.dispose();
        ImageIO.write(img, "png", File.createTempFile("cdk-img", ".png"));



Cheers,
J

I have to confess to being a bit perplexed by the java idioms for various configurable properties and what not. It seems there’s an unholy mix of interfaces, classes, subclasses, properties, parameters, etc… all trying to do similar things, but this one in particular seems rather confusing.

Or is there some sort of “active” background color that is distinct from the “default” background color? Changing current values or defaults by subclassing seems like killing an ant with a machine gun, but, what do I know?
