Class DrawableBuffer

java.lang.Object
  org.opensourcephysics.display.DrawableBuffer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Drawable, Measurable

public class DrawableBuffer
extends java.lang.Object
implements Drawable, Measurable

A DrawableBuffer contains an image of drawable objects. This image is displayed on a drawing panel whenever when the draw method is invoked. A drawble buffer should be used to render complex drawable objects that change infrequently. Use the updateImage method to generate a new image when the properties of the drawable objects change.
