jexplose

Apply an Expose effect to any JDesktopPane. JExplose was originally developed at Jayasoft and was later contributed to the jndc-incubator project.

Usage

The following methods become available on View scripts upon installing this plugin

• explose(JDesktopPane d) - triggers the explose animation on a JDesktopPane.
• explose(Explosable e) - triggers the explose animation on an Explosable.
• registerExploseHotKey(target, key) - register a key listener than will explose the specified target. The target argument may be an Explosable or a JDesktopPane. The key argument may be a KeyStroke, a String or an int.

Example

The following example registers a hot key (meta - X) and a MouseGesture to trigger the explosion of the desktop

    import org.jdesktop.swingx.jexplose.JExplose
    application(title: 'Griffon + JExplose',
      pack: true,
      locationByPlatform:true,
      iconImage: imageIcon('/griffon-icon-48x48.png').image,
      iconImages: [imageIcon('/griffon-icon-48x48.png').image,
                   imageIcon('/griffon-icon-32x32.png').image,
                   imageIcon('/griffon-icon-16x16.png').image]) {
        desktopPane(id: 'desktop', preferredSize: [430, 330]) {
            (1..10).each { i ->
                internalFrame(title: "Frame $i",
                              iconifiable: true, maximizable: true, resizable: true,
                              size: [150, 150], location: [20*i, 20*i], visible: true) {
                    borderLayout()
                    label "Frame $i", constraints: CENTER
                }
            }
        }
        registerExploseHotKey(desktop, shortcut('X'))
        JExplose.instance.background = getClass().getResource('/griffon.png')
        mouseGestures(start: true) {
            onProcessGesture { String gesture ->
                if(gesture == 'R') explose(desktop)
            }
        }
    }
