MiscPaperView Inherits From: MiscColorView : View : Responder : Object Declared In: misckit/MiscPaperView.h Class Description This class can draw its contents in many different papertypes¼white lined, gray grid, yellow card with border, etc. It was inspired by the NoteBook application which itself stole the idea from the paper store down the road. You can change the background color, line or grid color/size and the type of border to draw. See the single method descriptions for detailed information on the possible settings. Sidelines (borders) use the same settings but can be turn on and off for the single sides of the view. Instance Variables int gridType; int gridVertOffset; int gridHorOffset; NXColor gridColor; int gridOrigin; int sidelineType; int sidelineOffset; NXColor sidelineColor; gridType Holds the type of grid. gridVertOffset The vertical offset (this is what separates horizontal lines). gridHorOffset The horizontal offset (this is what separates horizontal lines). gridColor The grids color. gridOrigin Specifies in which corner the grid starts. sidelineType Holds the type of borders we will draw. sidelineOffset The offset each of the single borderlines has to the Views bounding box. sidelineColor The border color.

See also: - initFrame: Instance Methods drawSelf:: - drawSelf:(const NXRect *)rects :(int)rectCount Draws the grid and the borderlines according to the current settings. See also: - setGridType:withOrigin:, - setSidelineType: gridColor - (NXColor)gridColor Returns the grid color. See also: - setGridColor:, - gridType gridOrigin - (int)gridOrigin Returns the grids origin. See also: - setGridType:withOrigin:, - gridType gridType - (int)gridType Returns the type of grid we will draw. See also: - setGridType:withOrigin:, - gridColor horizontalGridSize - (int)horizontalGridSize Returns the horizontal grid size. This is the space between vertical lines. See also: - setGridSizeVertical:horizontal: initFrame: - initFrame:(const NXRect *)frameRect The grid is by default light gray (33%) with offsets set to 20 in both directions. We will only draw horizontal lines starting in the top of the view on the left side. The borders will be dark gray (66%) and one will be visible on the right side with and offset of 4 units (pixels) See also: - initialize read: - read:(NXTypedStream *)stream Reads the object from a stream. We take care of versioning. See also: - write:, - initialize, setGridColor: - setGridColor:(NXColor)color Sets the grids color to a color. See also: - gridColor, - setGridType: setGridSizeVertical:horizontal: - setGridSizeVertical:(int)vert horizontal:(int)hor Sets the grid size in the vertical and horizontal direction. The code ensures that both are always at least 1. Remember that vertical lines are seperated by horizontal space! So never mix the direction of the lines with the space between them. See also: - verticalGridSize, - horizontalGridSize setGridType:withOrigin: - setGridType:(int)aType withOrigin:(int)theOrigin Sets the grids type and origin. The possible grid types are: Constant Grid Misc_PaperGridNone No grid Misc_PaperGridHorizontal Horizonal lines only Misc_PaperGridVertical Vertical lines only To get a full grid combin both linetypes with an OR operation. The grid origin can be set using: Constant Origin Misc_PaperGridStartsUpperLeft Left side on the top Misc_PaperGridStartsUpperRight Right side on the top Misc_PaperGridStartsLowerLeft Left side on the bottom Misc_PaperGridStartsLowerRight Right side on the bottom See also: - gridType, - gridOrigin, - setGridSizeVertical:horizontal: setSidelineColor: - setSidelineColor:(NXColor)color Sets the sidelines color to color. See also: - sidelineColor setSidelineOffset: - setSidelineOffset:(int)offset Sets the off the borderlines have to their relating view border. The offset is the same for every line we have to draw. See also: - sidelineOffset setSidelineType: - setSidelineType:(int)aType Specifies which sidelines get drawn or no. Constant Lineposition Misc_PaperSidelineNone Nowhere Misc_PaperSidelineTop On the top Misc_PaperSidelineBottom On the bottom Misc_PaperSidelineLeft On the left side Misc_PaperSidelineRight On the right side You can create more then a single line by combining the single type with an OR operation. See also: - sidelineType, - setSidelineColor: sidelineColor - (NXColor)sidelineColor Returns the color of the sidelines. See also: - setSidelineColor: sidelineOffset - (int)sidelineOffset Returns the offset in which we will place the borderlines from the views frame. See also: - setSidelineOffset: sidelineType - (int)sidelineType Returns the type of borders we will draw. See also: - setSidelineType: verticalGridSize - (int)verticalGridSize Returns the vertical grid size. This is the space between horizontal lines.
