All Implemented Interfaces:

public class CoordinateRect extends Object implements Tieable, Limits, Computable, InputObject
A CoordinateRect represents a rectagular region in the xy-plane, specified by values xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax. The conditions ymin invalid input: '<' ymax and xmin invalid input: '<' xmax are enforced. (Values are swapped if necessary, and if min==max, they are reset to -1 and +1. If any of the values are set to an infinite or NaN value, then the coordinate rect won't display anything except the message "Error: undefined limits".)

When the Rect is mapped onto the screen, there can be a gap of a specified number of pixels between the min,max values and the edges of the rectangle on the screen. If the gap is non-zero, then the actual range of coordinates on the rect is larger than the range from the specifed min to max. (This is done mainly so I could have axes that don't quite reach the edges of the rect.)

A CoordinateRect maintains a list of Drawable items. When the Rect's draw() method is called, it calls the draw() method of each of the Drawable items it contains. When its compute() method is called, it calls the compute() method of any Drawable that is a Computable. When its checkInput() method is called, it calls the checkInput() method of any Drawable that is an InputObject.

A CoordinateRect represents a rectangular region in a DisplayCanvas. It has a reference to that Canvas, which is set automatically when it is added to the canvas. If the size, range, or gap on the CoordinateRect change, it will ask the Canvas to redraw the area it occupies.

The values of xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax are exported as Value objects, which can be used elsewhere in your program. The Value objects can be obtained by calling getValueObject(). If you do this, you should add the objects that depend on those values to a Controller and register the Controller to listen for changes from this CoordinateRect by calling the CoordinateRect.setOnChange(Controller) method.

Synchronization is handled by the CoordinateRects themselves.
