Set Figure ClientArea [message #1787246]

Hello,

I have a figure in another figure. The inner figure has a small size but the container figure is larger. How can I shrink the container figure to the size of its child. I found that the size can be retrieved by calling the getClientArea() but there is nothing as setClientArea(). I also tried change the setSize() and setBounds() but didn't work!

index.php/fa/32880/0/

Thanks.
Parsa

The client area is the area a figure reserves for its children. You will have to go for the figure's bounds instead, manipulating its location and size (which you might want to do indirectly by specifying a max size). Take a closer look at the IFigure interface, the javadoc provides good guidance.

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the reply. I tried everything on the child and the figure itself (see below)! But none of these changed it ! It is still larger than what it should take and I want to clip it ! Shouldn't I use clipping strategy?

child.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(10, 10));
child.setBounds(new Rectangle(10,10,10,10));
getFigure().setBounds(new Rectangle(0, 0, 10, 10));
getFigure().setPreferredSize(new Dimension(10, 10));
getFigure().setSize(new Dimension(10, 10));
