BufferCapabilities JDK 1.6)

Constructors

public BufferCapabilities (ImageCapabilities frontCaps, ImageCapabilities backCaps, FlipContents flipContents)

Creates a new object for specifying buffering capabilities

Creates a new object for specifying buffering capabilities
Parameters:
- frontCaps - the capabilities of the front buffer; cannot be null
- backCaps - the capabilities of the back and intermediate buffers; cannot be null
- flipContents - the contents of the back buffer after page-flipping, null if page flipping is not used (implies blitting)
Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - if frontCaps or backCaps are null

public Object clone ()

public ImageCapabilities getBackBufferCapabilities ()

public FlipContents getFlipContents ()

Returns: the resulting contents of the back buffer after page-flipping. This value is null when the isPageFlipping returns false, implying blitting. It can be one of FlipContents.UNDEFINED (the assumed default), FlipContents.BACKGROUND, FlipContents.PRIOR, or FlipContents.COPIED.
See Also: BufferCapabilities.isPageFlipping(), BufferCapabilities.FlipContents.UNDEFINED, BufferCapabilities.FlipContents.BACKGROUND, BufferCapabilities.FlipContents.PRIOR, BufferCapabilities.FlipContents.COPIED,

public ImageCapabilities getFrontBufferCapabilities ()

public boolean isFullScreenRequired ()

Returns: whether page flipping is only available in full-screen mode. If this is true, full-screen exclusive mode is required for page-flipping.
See Also: BufferCapabilities.isPageFlipping(), GraphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(java.awt.Window),

public boolean isMultiBufferAvailable ()

public boolean isPageFlipping ()

Returns: whether or not the buffer strategy uses page flipping; a set of buffers that uses page flipping can swap the contents internally between the front buffer and one or more back buffers by switching the video pointer (or by copying memory internally). A non-flipping set of buffers uses blitting to copy the contents from one buffer to another; when this is the case, getFlipContents returns null
