use item across class
May 10^th, 2010, 4:46am

I've this two class:

Code:

class WordItem extends SimpleMapItem {
    String word;

    color c;
    float hue;
    float brightness;
    PFont font = createFont ("Arial", 10);

	WordItem(String word) {
	this.word = word;
    }
    void draw( ) {
	colorMode(HSB, hh*ww);
	fill(hh*ww/22, hh*ww, hh*ww, w*h*5);
	stroke(0, 0, hh*ww);
	strokeWeight (0.25f);
	rect(x, y, w, h);
	colorMode(RGB, 255);
	smooth();
	fill(255);
	if (w > textWidth(word.toUpperCase() + " " +int((w*h)/(ww*hh)*100)+"%") + 20) {
	  if (h > textAscent( ) + 6) {
	    textFont(font);
	    textAlign(LEFT, BOTTOM);
	    text(word.toUpperCase() + " " +int((w*h)/(ww*hh)*100)+"%", x+5, y+20);
	    
	  }
	}
    }
  }

  class WordMap extends SimpleMapModel implements MapModel {
    MapLayout algorithm = new SquarifiedLayout( );
    HashMap words;
    
    WordMap( ) {
	words = new HashMap( );
    }
    void addWord(String word) {
	WordItem item = (WordItem) words.get(word);
	if (item == null) {
	  item = new WordItem(word);
	  words.put(word, item);
	}
	item.incrementSize( );
	int Size = (int)item.getSize();
	println (Size);
    }
    void finishAdd( ) {
	items = new WordItem[words.size( )];
	words.values( ).toArray(items);

    }
   
  }

}

How can I use the "Size" of WordMap class:

Code:

	int Size = (int)item.getSize();
	println (Size);

in the WordItem class?

I am not sure I understand your question.
You ask how to implement getSize() method in the WordItem class?
How do you define size? By textWidth?
Where is the problem exactly?

BTW, you shouldn't put createFont() inside a class instantiation, if you plan to have many items: this is a quite expensive operation, taking a good chunk of memory, and you will have a new font instance per item. Better create the font in setup() and either use the global font, or pass it as parameter to the constructor if you plan to have items with different fonts.

Except I still fail to understand what is this size. A number of items? A text length? A bounding box? How do you compute it? I see neither a size field nor a getSize() method in your code.

ok.... I have a count in WordMap based on Hashmap. With this:

Code:

void addWord(String word) {
	WordItem item = (WordItem) words.get(word);
	if (item == null) {
	  item = new WordItem(word);
	  words.put(word, item);
	}
	item.incrementSize( );
    }

item is incremented every time a words is put in (by the main sketch)

then I extract the Size of the item with this:

Code:

int Size = (int)item.getSize();
	println (Size);

Now I want to use this "Size" value in another class (WordItem)

Forgive me... but I don't know how explain this in another way.....

Ah, so you need to count the number of occurrences of a given word.
Should look like:
Code:

class WordItem extends SimpleMapItem {
    String word;

    color c;
    float hue;
    float brightness;

    int size = 1; // At least one at creation time

    WordItem(String word) {
	this.word = word;
    }
    void draw( ) {
// Same code
    }
    void incrementSize() {
	 size++;
    }
    int getSize() {
	return size;
    }
}
