public class Scale
extends ConstrainedBean

Define the characteristics of a layout scale. A scale has four properties.

• Name - A fixed string, such N or HO.
• User name - An alternate name that can be changed. It defaults to the scale name.
• Ratio - The ratio for the scale, such as 160 for N scale.
• Factor - A derived value created by dividing 1 by the scale ratio.

In addition to the standard scales, there is custom entry. Custom settings are retained in a local copy of ScaleData.xml.

Methods are provided to set/get the user name and the scale ratio. The scale factor is generated from the scale ratio and is read only, as is the scale name.

While changing the ratio and user names of the standard scales is not prohibited, doing so is not recommended due to potential conflicts with other applications.

Changes to user names and ratios send a vetoableChange event. Interested applications can add a vetoableChange listener in order to be notified when an event occurs. If the listener determines that the change cannot occur, it can throw a PropertyVetoException.

See Scale Manager for manager details.

Constructor Detail

Scale

public Scale()

Scale

public Scale(@Nonnull
             java.lang.String name,
             double ratio,
             java.lang.String userName)

Method Detail

getScaleName

public java.lang.String getScaleName()

Get the Name of the Scale.

Returns:

the Scale name.

getUserName

public java.lang.String getUserName()

Get the UserName of the Scale.

Returns:

the UserName.

getScaleRatio

public double getScaleRatio()

Get the Scale Ratio.

Returns:

e.g. 87.1

getScaleFactor

public double getScaleFactor()

Get the Scale Factor

Returns:

e.g. 1 divided by 87.1

setUserName

public void setUserName(@Nonnull
                        java.lang.String newName)
                 throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                        java.beans.PropertyVetoException

Set the user name for the current scale. Registered listeners can veto the change.

Parameters:

newName - The name to be applied if unique.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The supplied name is a duplicate.

java.beans.PropertyVetoException - The user name change was vetoed.

setScaleRatio

public void setScaleRatio(double newRatio)
                   throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                          java.beans.PropertyVetoException

Set the new scale ratio and calculate the scale factor. Registered listeners can veto the change.

Parameters:

newRatio - A double value containing the ratio.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The new ratio is less than 1.

java.beans.PropertyVetoException - The ratio change was vetoed.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
