Directory "Sketcher 4 creating text elements"
You create the
Action
object for a text element and add values to specify the icons to be used for the
menu item and the toolbar button, plus the tooltip text. The
SketcherConstants
class needs some addition-
al members to provide for text elements:
package Constants;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class SketcherConstants {
// Path for images
public final static String imagePath = "D:/Sketcher/Images/";
// Toolbar icons for File menu items as before...
// Toolbar icons for Type menu items as before...
public final static Icon TEXT24 = new ImageIcon(imagePath + "Text24.gif");
// Toolbar icons for Color menu items as before...
// Icons for the items in the File menu as before...
// Icons for Element menu items as before...
public final static Icon TEXT16 = new ImageIcon(imagePath + Text16.gif");
// Toolbar icons for Color menu items as before...
// Element type definitions
