      • getPreferredSize

        public Dimension getPreferredSize(JComponent c)
        The preferredSize of the list depends upon the layout orientation.
        Layout Orientation Preferred Size
        JList.VERTICAL The preferredSize of the list is total height of the rows and the maximum width of the cells. If JList.fixedCellHeight is specified then the total height of the rows is just (cellVerticalMargins + fixedCellHeight) * model.getSize() where rowVerticalMargins is the space we allocate for drawing the yellow focus outline. Similarly if fixedCellWidth is specified then we just use that.
        JList.VERTICAL_WRAP If the visible row count is greater than zero, the preferredHeight is the maximum cell height * visibleRowCount. If the visible row count is <= 0, the preferred height is either the current height of the list, or the maximum cell height, whichever is bigger. The preferred width is than the maximum cell width * number of columns needed. Where the number of columns needs is list.height / max cell height. Max cell height is either the fixed cell height, or is determined by iterating through all the cells to find the maximum height from the ListCellRenderer.
        JList.HORIZONTAL_WRAP If the visible row count is greater than zero, the preferredHeight is the maximum cell height * adjustedRowCount. Where visibleRowCount is used to determine the number of columns. Because this lays out horizontally the number of rows is then determined from the column count. For example, lets say you have a model with 10 items and the visible row count is 8. The number of columns needed to display this is 2, but you no longer need 8 rows to display this, you only need 5, thus the adjustedRowCount is 5.

        If the visible row count is <= 0, the preferred height is dictated by the number of columns, which will be as many as can fit in the width of the JList (width / max cell width), with at least one column. The preferred height then becomes the model size / number of columns * maximum cell height. Max cell height is either the fixed cell height, or is determined by iterating through all the cells to find the maximum height from the ListCellRenderer.

        The above specifies the raw preferred width and height. The resulting preferred width is the above width + insets.left + insets.right and the resulting preferred height is the above height + insets.top + insets.bottom. Where the Insets are determined from list.getInsets().
        Overrides:
        getPreferredSize in class  ComponentUI
        Parameters:
        c - The JList component.
        Returns:
        The total size of the list.

      • installDefaults

        protected void installDefaults()

        See Also:
        uninstallDefaults(), installUI(javax.swing.JComponent), CellRendererPane

      • uninstallUI

        public void uninstallUI(JComponent c)

        Overrides:
        uninstallUI in class  ComponentUI
        Parameters:
        c - the component from which this UI delegate is being removed; this argument is often ignored, but might be used if the UI object is stateless and shared by multiple components

      • createUI

        public static ComponentUI createUI(JComponent list)
        Returns a new instance of BasicListUI. BasicListUI delegates are allocated one per JList.
        Returns:

      • locationToIndex

        public int locationToIndex(JList list,
                           Point location)
        Returns the cell index in the specified JList closest to the given location in the list's coordinate system. To determine if the cell actually contains the specified location, compare the point against the cell's bounds, as provided by getCellBounds. This method returns -1 if the list's model is empty.
        Specified by:
        locationToIndex in class  ListUI
        Parameters:
        list - the list
        location - the coordinates of the point
        Returns:
        the cell index closest to the given location, or -1
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if location is null

      • indexToLocation

        public Point indexToLocation(JList list,
                             int index)
        Returns the origin in the given JList, of the specified item, in the list's coordinate system. Returns null if the index isn't valid.
        Specified by:
        indexToLocation in class  ListUI
        Parameters:
        list - the list
        index - the cell index

        Returns the bounding rectangle, in the given list's coordinate system, for the range of cells specified by the two indices. The indices can be supplied in any order.

        If the smaller index is outside the list's range of cells, this method returns null. If the smaller index is valid, but the larger index is outside the list's range, the bounds of just the first index is returned. Otherwise, the bounds of the valid range is returned.

        Specified by:
        getCellBounds in class  ListUI
        Parameters:
        list - the list
        index1 - the first index in the range
