Interface ColorSource

All Known Implementing Classes:

GenericRtlibObject.DINColorSource, LED, Signal

public interface ColorSource

ColorSource: trivial interface to be used for deferred (on-demand) Color queries.

The principal use in HADES is to reduce the enormous overhead of setColor() operations on animated Symbol graphics objects. For example, in a typical RTLIB simulation, the values of registers and ouput pins are constructed, formatted, and set many times before the next repaint occurs. By registering a ColorSource with Label, the Label will not perform Color construction, unless it is actually repainted, resulting in much better performance and memory efficiency.
