Class Dump

java.lang.Object
  edu.uci.ics.screencap.Dump

Direct Known Subclasses:

EPSDump, PNGDump

public abstract class Dump

extends java.lang.Object

This abstract class represents a single dump to a file. It is left deliberately as a class because I want to leave room for future functionality:

• popping up a panel to select a filename for dumps
• rotating dump names
• possibly, animation dumps?

At the very least, all that a dump needs, though, is a file to dump to and a component to get the dump from. The dump calls print() or paint() on the component, and therefore:

• The component must not mess around with the system state during a dump. For example, triggering an animation cycle. (This will just disappoint all parties.)
• The component must not count on any particular state on the Graphics context. (It will be disappointed).
