Hi,
in order to make my editor more user friendly, I decided, to replace some blunt b/w boxes with more eye-friendly skins. Based on the rounded corners and gradients found in the eclipse gui, I came up with a subtle skin:
Now I've implemented a skinned rectangle:
public class SkinnedBox extends RectangleFigure {
// corners and edge filler bitmaps of the skin
static private final Image TOP_LEFT = Activator.getImageDescriptor("icons/BoxSkinTopLeft.png").createImage();
static private final Image TOP_RIGHT = Activator.getImageDescriptor("icons/BoxSkinTopRight.png").createImage();
static private final Image TOP_FILL = Activator.getImageDescriptor("icons/BoxSkinTopFill.png").createImage();
static private final Image BOTTOM_LEFT = Activator.getImageDescriptor("icons/BoxSkinBottomLeft.png").createImage();
static private final Image BOTTOM_RIGHT = Activator.getImageDescriptor("icons/BoxSkinBottomRight.png").createImage();
static private final Image BOTTOM_FILL = Activator.getImageDescriptor("icons/BoxSkinBottomFill.png").createImage();
static private final Image LEFT_FILL = Activator.getImageDescriptor("icons/BoxSkinLeftFill.png").createImage();
static private final Image RIGHT_FILL = Activator.getImageDescriptor("icons/BoxSkinRightFill.png").createImage();
/**
* @param typeName the fully qualified type name
*/
public SkinnedBox() {
// create top figure
RectangleFigure topFigure = new RectangleFigure();
topFigure.setOutline(false);
topFigure.setFill(false);
BorderLayout topLayout = new BorderLayout();
topLayout.setHorizontalSpacing(0);
topLayout.setVerticalSpacing(0);
topFigure.setLayoutManager(topLayout);
topFigure.add(new ImageFigure(SkinnedBox.TOP_LEFT), BorderLayout.LEFT);
topFigure.add(new ImageFigure(SkinnedBox.TOP_FILL), BorderLayout.CENTER);
topFigure.add(new ImageFigure(SkinnedBox.TOP_RIGHT), BorderLayout.RIGHT);
//topFigure.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(-1, 23));
// create bottom figure
RectangleFigure bottomFigure = new RectangleFigure();
bottomFigure.setOutline(false);
bottomFigure.setFill(false);
BorderLayout bottomLayout = new BorderLayout();
bottomLayout.setHorizontalSpacing(0);
bottomLayout.setVerticalSpacing(0);
bottomFigure.setLayoutManager(bottomLayout);
bottomFigure.add(new ImageFigure(SkinnedBox.BOTTOM_LEFT), BorderLayout.LEFT);
bottomFigure.add(new ImageFigure(SkinnedBox.BOTTOM_FILL), BorderLayout.CENTER);
bottomFigure.add(new ImageFigure(SkinnedBox.BOTTOM_RIGHT), BorderLayout.RIGHT);
//topFigure.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(-1, 3));
// create primary layout
this.setOutline(false);
this.setFill(false);
BorderLayout layout = new BorderLayout();
layout.setHorizontalSpacing(0);
layout.setVerticalSpacing(0);
this.setLayoutManager(layout);
this.add(topFigure, BorderLayout.TOP);
this.add(bottomFigure, BorderLayout.BOTTOM);
this.add(new ImageFigure(SkinnedBox.LEFT_FILL), BorderLayout.LEFT);
this.add(new ImageFigure(SkinnedBox.RIGHT_FILL), BorderLayout.RIGHT);
RectangleFigure whiteFill = new RectangleFigure();
whiteFill.setOutline(false);
this.add(whiteFill, BorderLayout.CENTER);
this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(26,72));
this.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(26,72));
}
}
The problem is, that I would like to stretch or repeat the filler bitmaps along the edges. The above setup only works if the edge textures are incredibly large, so that the box is always smaller than the bitmap. It's a waste of resources and I'd like to do better, short of implementing a new ImageFigure class if possible 
I'd appreciate any help with this.
Regards,
Chris
