Class FileViewer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.awt.image.ImageObserver, java.awt.MenuContainer, java.io.Serializable, java.util.Observer, javax.accessibility.Accessible

    public class FileViewer
    extends javax.swing.JPanel
    implements java.util.Observer
    UI for viewing the contents of very large files efficiently. Pieces of a file are read in using the ChunkReader, which are then displayed line-by-line in FVTable. As users scroll up/down, new sections of the file are swapped in as appropriate. Notes: 1. The viewer consists of a simple JTable and a custom JSlider. The table displays lines of text described by Chunk objects. The number of chunks visible at any given time is restricted by the ChunkModel.MAX_VISIBLE_CHUNKS property. 2. Because only part of the file is loaded into the viewable table at any given time, the built-in scrollbar associated with the scrollpane cannot be used. We want the scroll bar maximum size to reflect the total size of the file, not just what's in view at the time. So we use our own slider implementation (FVSlider) and manage the size/position ourselves. If you're asking why a JSlider is used instead of a JScrollPane, it's because the former is more easily configuration for what we need. 3. Communication between modules (the table, the slider, the viewport utility, etc...) is done almost exclusively via events, using the custom FVEvent framework.

        public void update​(java.util.Observable o,
                           java.lang.Object arg)
        Part of the Java Observer pattern. This class is a subscriber to all FVEventListener events, so when those are fired, they will be received here. Note: this method invokes the handleFVEvent(FVEvent) method on the Swing thread to ensure that we will make all UI updates on the EDT.
        Specified by:
        update in interface java.util.Observer
        Parameters:
        o -
        arg -
