RenderingHints

public RenderingHints(RenderingHints.Key key, Object value)

Constructs a new object with the specified key/value pair.

Parameters:

key - the key of the particular hint property

value - the value of the hint property specified with key

size

public int size()

Returns the number of key-value mappings in this RenderingHints.

Specified by:

[size](../../java/util/Map.html#size%28%29) in interface [Map](../../java/util/Map.html "interface in java.util")<[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang"),[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")>

Returns:

the number of key-value mappings in this RenderingHints.

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(Object key)

Returns true if this RenderingHints contains a mapping for the specified key.

Specified by:

[containsKey](../../java/util/Map.html#containsKey%28java.lang.Object%29) in interface [Map](../../java/util/Map.html "interface in java.util")<[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang"),[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")>

`IllegalArgumentException` - some aspect of a key or value in the specified Map prevents it from being stored in this RenderingHints.

keySet

public Set<Object> keySet()

Returns a Set view of the Keys contained in this RenderingHints. The Set is backed by the RenderingHints, so changes to theRenderingHints are reflected in the Set, and vice-versa. If the RenderingHints is modified while an iteration over the Set is in progress, the results of the iteration are undefined. The Set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the RenderingHints, via the Iterator.remove, Set.remove,removeAll retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.

Specified by:

[keySet](../../java/util/Map.html#keySet%28%29) in interface [Map](../../java/util/Map.html "interface in java.util")<[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang"),[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")>

Returns:

a Set view of the keys contained in this RenderingHints.

values

public Collection<Object> values()

Returns a Collection view of the values contained in this RenderinHints. The Collection is backed by the RenderingHints, so changes to the RenderingHints are reflected in the Collection, and vice-versa. If the RenderingHints is modified while an iteration over the Collection is in progress, the results of the iteration are undefined. The Collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the RenderingHints, via theIterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.

Specified by:

[values](../../java/util/Map.html#values%28%29) in interface [Map](../../java/util/Map.html "interface in java.util")<[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang"),[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")>

Returns:

a Collection view of the values contained in this RenderingHints.

entrySet

public Set<Map.Entry<Object,Object>> entrySet()

Returns a Set view of the mappings contained in this RenderingHints. Each element in the returned Set is a Map.Entry. The Set is backed by the RenderingHints, so changes to the RenderingHints are reflected in the Set, and vice-versa. If the RenderingHints is modified while while an iteration over the Set is in progress, the results of the iteration are undefined.

The entrySet returned from a RenderingHints object is not modifiable.

Specified by:

[entrySet](../../java/util/Map.html#entrySet%28%29) in interface [Map](../../java/util/Map.html "interface in java.util")<[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang"),[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")>

Returns:

a Set view of the mappings contained in this RenderingHints.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compares the specified Object with this RenderingHints for equality. Returns true if the specified object is also a Map and the two Map objects represent the same mappings. More formally, two Map objects t1 and t2 represent the same mappings if t1.keySet().equals(t2.keySet()) and for every key k in t1.keySet(),

(t1.get(k)==null ? t2.get(k)==null : t1.get(k).equals(t2.get(k)))

. This ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the Map interface.

Specified by:

[equals](../../java/util/Map.html#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) in interface [Map](../../java/util/Map.html "interface in java.util")<[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang"),[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")>

Overrides:

[equals](../../java/lang/Object.html#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) in class [Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")

Parameters:

o - Object to be compared for equality with this RenderingHints.

Returns:

true if the specified Object is equal to this RenderingHints.

See Also:

Object.hashCode(), Hashtable

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this RenderingHints. The hash code of a RenderingHints is defined to be the sum of the hashCodes of each Entry in the RenderingHints object's entrySet view. This ensures thatt1.equals(t2) implies thatt1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode() for any two Map objects t1 and t2, as required by the general contract of Object.hashCode.

Specified by:

[hashCode](../../java/util/Map.html#hashCode%28%29) in interface [Map](../../java/util/Map.html "interface in java.util")<[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang"),[Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")>

Overrides:

[hashCode](../../java/lang/Object.html#hashCode%28%29) in class [Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")

Returns:

the hash code value for this RenderingHints.

See Also:

Map.Entry.hashCode(), Object.hashCode(), Object.equals(Object), equals(Object)

clone

public Object clone()

Creates a clone of this RenderingHints object that has the same contents as this RenderingHints object.

Overrides:

[clone](../../java/lang/Object.html#clone%28%29) in class [Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")

Returns:

a clone of this instance.

See Also:

Cloneable

toString

public String toString()

Returns a rather long string representation of the hashmap which contains the mappings of keys to values for thisRenderingHints object.

Returns:

a string representation of this object.
