paint

public void paint(Graphics g,
                  JComponent c)
Paint the rows that intersect the Graphics objects clipRect. This method calls paintCell as necessary. Subclasses may want to override these methods.

Overrides:
paint in class ComponentUI
Parameters:
g - the Graphics context in which to paint
c - the component being painted; this argument is often ignored, but might be used if the UI object is stateless and shared by multiple components
See Also:
paintCell(java.awt.Graphics, int, java.awt.Rectangle, javax.swing.ListCellRenderer, javax.swing.ListModel, javax.swing.ListSelectionModel, int)

getBaseline

public int getBaseline(JComponent c,
                       int width,
                       int height)
Returns the baseline.

Overrides:
getBaseline in class ComponentUI
Parameters:
c - JComponent baseline is being requested for
width - the width to get the baseline for
height - the height to get the baseline for
Returns:
baseline or a value < 0 indicating there is no reasonable baseline
Throws:
NullPointerException - if c is null
IllegalArgumentException - if width or height is < 0
Since:
1.6
See Also:
JComponent.getBaseline(int, int)

getBaselineResizeBehavior

public Component.BaselineResizeBehavior getBaselineResizeBehavior(JComponent c)
Returns an enum indicating how the baseline of the component changes as the size changes.

Overrides:
getBaselineResizeBehavior in class ComponentUI
Parameters:
c - JComponent to return baseline resize behavior for
Returns:
an enum indicating how the baseline changes as the component size changes
Throws:
NullPointerException - if c is null
Since:
1.6
See Also:
JComponent.getBaseline(int, int)

getPreferredSize

public Dimension getPreferredSize(JComponent c)
The preferredSize of the list depends upon the layout orientation.
Layout OrientationPreferred 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()
