Constructor Detail

ColorType

public ColorType()

This constructor should only be called once per session, through a static initializer, typically in TypeRegistry.

To get the instance of this type object for use in translations, call TypeRegistry.get("java.awt.Color").

Method Detail

getInstance

public java.awt.Color getInstance(java.lang.String value)

Description copied from class: ScalarType

If this is a reference type, build an appropriate Object, given a String representation. If it is a primitive type, return a boxed value.

Specified by:

getInstance in class ScalarType<java.awt.Color>

Parameters:

value - is interpreted as hex-encoded RGB value, in the same style as HTML & CSS. A # character at the start is unneccesary, but acceptable.

See Also:

ScalarType.getInstance(java.lang.String)

toString

public java.lang.String toString(java.lang.reflect.Field field,
                                 java.lang.Object context)

The string representation for a Field of this type

Overrides:

toString in class ScalarType<java.awt.Color>

marshall

public java.lang.String marshall(java.awt.Color color)

Get a String representation of the instance, using this. The default just calls the toString() method on the instance.

Overrides:

marshall in class ScalarType<java.awt.Color>

Parameters:

color -

Returns:
