Do you just want it to make the label show up? In order to do that, just
do:

"label.setVisible(true);".

I'm having a bit of trouble myself understanding the repaint() in my
context and whether I need it or not.
*Some background info:* I had attended the ASF ICFOSS Pilot programme in
India [1] conducted by Luciano Resende [2] and as part of the program we're
encouraged to contribute to the Apache community.
I decided to do a project in Lucene[3]. The goal is to port some GUI
features into the Luke application in the sandbox of Lucene [3] using
Pivot, since Luke currently uses Thinlet (an LGPL licensed) API. [5]
I studied some Pivot, did a proposal and used one of your earlier
suggestions in the proposal.
The proposal is here :
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18Vu5YB6C7WLDxnG01BnZXFEKUC3EQYb0Y5_tCJFb_sc/
Coming back to the problem :
I'm seeing repaint() being used in the Vocabulary plugin (see Page 5 of
above doc)
The repaint() method as in src of Luke is :
private void repaint(Object component, Object classname, Object part) {
Rectangle b = getRectangle(component, "bounds");
if (classname == "combobox") { // combobox down arrow
repaint(component, b.x + b.width - block, b.y, block,
b.height); // icon?+
} else if ((classname == "tabbedpane") || // tab
(classname == "menubar") || (classname == ":popup")) { //
menuitem
Rectangle r = getRectangle(part, "bounds");
repaint(component, b.x + r.x, b.y + r.y, (classname ==
":popup") ? b.width : r.width, r.height);
}
/*Some more similar if statements*/
}
It creates a rectangle object (from java Container class, IIRC) and sets
bounds by calling this function.
private void repaint(Object component, int x, int y, int width, int
height) {
while ((component = getParent(component)) != null) {
Rectangle bounds = getRectangle(component, "bounds");
if (bounds != null) {
x += bounds.x;
y += bounds.y;
}
Rectangle view = getRectangle(component, ":view");
if (view != null) {
Rectangle port = getRectangle(component, ":port");
x += -view.x + port.x;
y += -view.y + port.y; //+ clip :port
}
}
repaint(x, y, width, height);
}
I'm not seeing the point of creating bounds here. So I'm not sure why we
need to repaint any item in Pivot or if we need to repaint at all. Maybe
you could shed some light on this?
Please go over my proposal and feel free to make any comments for how I
could do the features.
