    • caps

      protected BufferCapabilities caps
      The buffering capabilities

    • backBuffers

      protected VolatileImage[] backBuffers
      The back buffers

    • validatedContents

      protected boolean validatedContents
      Whether or not the drawing buffer has been recently restored from a lost state.

    • width

      protected int width
      Width of the back buffers

    • height

      protected int height
      Height of the back buffers

  • Constructor Details

    • BltBufferStrategy

      protected BltBufferStrategy​(int numBuffers, BufferCapabilities caps)
      Creates a new blt buffer strategy around a component
      Parameters:
      numBuffers - number of buffers to create, including the front buffer
      caps - the capabilities of the buffers

  • Method Details

    • dispose

      public void dispose()
      Releases system resources currently consumed by this BufferStrategy and removes it from the associated Component. After invoking this method, getBufferStrategy will return null. Trying to use a BufferStrategy after it has been disposed will result in undefined behavior.
      Overrides:
      dispose in class BufferStrategy

    • createBackBuffers

      protected void createBackBuffers​(int numBuffers)
      Creates the back buffers
      Parameters:
      numBuffers - the number of buffers to create

    • getCapabilities

      public BufferCapabilities getCapabilities()
      Description copied from class: BufferStrategy
      Returns the BufferCapabilities for this BufferStrategy.
      Specified by:
      getCapabilities in class BufferStrategy
      Returns:
      the buffering capabilities of this strategy

    • getDrawGraphics

      public Graphics getDrawGraphics()
      Description copied from class: BufferStrategy
      Creates a graphics context for the drawing buffer. This method may not be synchronized for performance reasons; use of this method by multiple threads should be handled at the application level. Disposal of the graphics object obtained must be handled by the application.
      Specified by:
      getDrawGraphics in class BufferStrategy
      Returns:
      the draw graphics

    • show

      public void show()
      Makes the next available buffer visible.
      Specified by:
      show in class BufferStrategy

    • revalidate

      protected void revalidate()
      Restore the drawing buffer if it has been lost

    • contentsLost

      public boolean contentsLost()
      Description copied from class: BufferStrategy
      Returns whether the drawing buffer was lost since the last call to getDrawGraphics. Since the buffers in a buffer strategy are usually type VolatileImage, they may become lost. For a discussion on lost buffers, see VolatileImage.
      Specified by:
      contentsLost in class BufferStrategy
      Returns:
      whether the drawing buffer was lost since the last call to getDrawGraphics
      See Also:
      VolatileImage

    • contentsRestored

      public boolean contentsRestored()
      Description copied from class: BufferStrategy
      Returns whether the drawing buffer was recently restored from a lost state and reinitialized to the default background color (white). Since the buffers in a buffer strategy are usually type VolatileImage, they may become lost. If a surface has been recently restored from a lost state since the last call to getDrawGraphics, it may require repainting. For a discussion on lost buffers, see VolatileImage.
      Specified by:
      contentsRestored in class BufferStrategy
      Returns:
      whether the drawing buffer was recently restored from a lost state and reinitialized to the default background color (white)
