Parameters:

filename - the non-null, non-empty filename.

resourceclass - the rescource-class to use.

Throws:

ReadException

loadStylesFromResource

public static final void loadStylesFromResource(java.lang.String filename,
                                                java.lang.Class resourceclass,
                                                boolean overwriteExisting)

Returns an AttributeSet containing all Attributes of the given type.

Parameters:

itemType - the type to look up.

Returns:

the AttribubteSet of the the given type.

applyItemtoPrimitiveEx

public static final void applyItemtoPrimitiveEx(Primitive primitive,
                                                StyleItem item)

This method applies the given StyleItem to the parameter primitive. Neither it takes care about the type of primitive, nor the style type.

item - the StyleItem to apply.

applyItemtoPrimitive

public static final void applyItemtoPrimitive(Primitive primitive,
                                              StyleItem item)
                                       throws StyleItemApplyException
