Class PlottingWordPlacer

java.lang.Object

wordcram.PlottingWordPlacer

All Implemented Interfaces:

WordPlacer

public class PlottingWordPlacer
extends java.lang.Object
implements WordPlacer

If you're using a custom WordPlacer, and having difficulty seeing how well it works, try wrapping it in a PlottingWordPlacer. As your WordCram is drawn, it'll render tiny dots at each word's target location, so you can sort-of see how far off they are when they're finally rendered.

Where should this Word be drawn on the field?

Specified by:

place in interface WordPlacer

Parameters:

word - The Word to place. A typical WordPlacer might use the Word's weight.

wordIndex - The index (rank) of the Word to place. Since this isn't a property of the Word, it's passed in as well.

wordsCount - The total number of words. Gives a context to wordIndex: "Word {wordIndex} of {wordsCount}".

wordImageWidth - The width of the word image.

wordImageHeight - The height of the word image.

fieldWidth - The width of the field.

fieldHeight - The height of the field.

Returns:

the desired location for a Word on the field, as a 2D PVector.
