Method Detail

serialize

public AttributeList serialize()
                        throws SerializeException

Description copied from class: CompositeSerializer

Returns the CustomAttributes, CoordinateSystem, Location, Size, Transform and Primitives as AttributeList.

Specified by:

serialize in interface Serializer

Overrides:

serialize in class CompositeSerializer

Throws:

SerializeException

See Also:

Serializer.serialize()

addCompositeGroupAttributes

protected void addCompositeGroupAttributes(AttributeList list)
                                    throws SerializeException

Adds the attributes of the internal CompositeGroup instance to the given AttributeList.

Parameters:

list - target list to add the values too.

Throws:

SerializeException - thrown whenever one of the attribute related operations throws an exception.

addFoldStateAttributes

protected void addFoldStateAttributes(AttributeList list)
                               throws AttributeException,
                                      ConstraintViolationException

Adds all fold-relevant elements of the internal group to the given AttributeList.

Parameters:

list - the AttributeList to add the content border sizes to.

Throws:

AttributeException - thrown when one of the attribute related operation throws an exception.

ConstraintViolationException - might be thrown if constraints are violated.

getSizeAttribute

protected Attribute getSizeAttribute(java.lang.String attributeName,
                                     Size size)
                              throws ConstraintViolationException,
                                     AttributeException

Returns an Attribute for a given Size instance. The method concatenates the size values comma separated and puts them into the value part of the resulting Attribute.

Parameters:

attributeName - a name for the returned Attribute.

size - the Size to retrieve an Attribute holding all significant properties for.

Returns:

the attribute containing a size.

Throws:

AttributeException - thrown when one of the attribute related operation throws an exception.

ConstraintViolationException - might be thrown if constraints are violated.
