  • Method Details

    • getDistance

      double getDistance(javafx.scene.shape.Shape shape)
      Get the distance form the CollisionShape to another shape. Usually this is just the centre point of the shape to the other shape centre, however in some cases might be slightly different e.g. for a line you want the closest point on the line to a shape rather than just the centre of the line.
      Parameters:
      shape - - shape to get distance to.
      Returns:
      the distance in pixels from the CollisionShape to the shape.

    • getShape

      javafx.scene.shape.Shape getShape()
      Get the Shape associated with the Collision shape.
      Returns:
      the shape

    • setConnectionStatus

      void setConnectionStatus(int type, ConnectorNode shape)
      Set the connection status.
      Parameters:
      type - - type of connection status,
      shape - - the connected or possibly connected shape. Can be null if NO_CONNECTION FLAG.

    • getConnectionStatus

      int getConnectionStatus()
      Check if the shape is currently connected to another shape.
      Returns:
      true if the shape is connected to another shape.

    • getOrientation

      javafx.geometry.Orientation getOrientation()
      Get the orientation of the shape .
      Returns:
      orientation of the shape.

    • setConnectedShape

      void setConnectedShape(ConnectorNode connecionShape)
      Set the connected shape- the shape which this shape is connected to. null if no shape is connected;
      Parameters:
      connecionShape - - the connected shape. Can be null.

    • getConnectedShape

      ConnectorNode getConnectedShape()
      Get the connected shape- the shape this shape is connected to. null if shape is not connected to anything;
      Parameters:
      connecionShape - - the connected shape. Can be null.

    • getConnectionNode

      ConnectionNode getConnectionNode()
      Get the connection node the shape is associated with;
      Returns:
      the connection node the shape is associated with;

    • checkPossibleConnection

      boolean checkPossibleConnection(boolean notify)
      Check whether a connection has
      Parameters:
      notify -
      Returns:

    • isError

      boolean isError()
      Check whether there is an error in the connection
      Returns:
      true if error in connection.

    • setError

      void setError(boolean error)
      Set the connection to have an error flag.
      Parameters:
