Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences.

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable

public abstract class GraphicsConfigTemplate
extends Object
implements Serializable

The GraphicsConfigTemplate class is used to obtain a valid {@link GraphicsConfiguration}. A user instantiates one of these objects and then sets all non-default attributes as desired. The {@link GraphicsDevice#getBestConfiguration} method found in the {@link GraphicsDevice} class is then called with this GraphicsConfigTemplate. A valid GraphicsConfiguration is returned that meets or exceeds what was requested in the GraphicsConfigTemplate.

Field Summary
`static int`	`PREFERRED` Value used for "Enum" (Integer) type.
`static int`	`REQUIRED` Value used for "Enum" (Integer) type.
`static int`	`UNNECESSARY` Value used for "Enum" (Integer) type.

Constructor Summary
`GraphicsConfigTemplate()` This class is an abstract class so only subclasses can be instantiated.

Method Summary

Field Detail

PREFERRED

public static final int PREFERRED

Value used for "Enum" (Integer) type. States that this feature is desired for the GraphicsConfiguration object. A selection with this feature is preferred over a selection that does not include this feature, although both selections can be considered valid matches.

REQUIRED

public static final int REQUIRED

Value used for "Enum" (Integer) type. States that this feature is required for the GraphicsConfiguration object. If this feature is not available, do not select the GraphicsConfiguration object.

UNNECESSARY
