This document has given you the basics for experimenting on
your own. There are currently no GUI tool, such as a vector
paint application, to experiment with all the different aspects
of the
AShape s. It is therefore suggested that you set up a
basic Swing application that just shows an
AShapeComponent and set a RootAShape with AShape s
that you can easily change and experiment with.
If you have requirements that can not be met by the
properties for the built in
AShape types you must resort to
writing code in order to customize it further. Almost all
aspects of an
AShape can be exchanged and/or overridden
to extend just about everything. This is by design. To be able
to do this you will need to have a thorough understanding of
how the different parts fits together. The
API JavaDoc is a
must read for doing this. Also, the support forums at
http://www.miginfocom.com/forum/ can be used to ask
questions.
When you have gotten acquainted with the component you
are welcome to make feature requests. Suggestions for the
AShape component are appreciated and those should be
posted in the forums.
