FSEM and layout manager issue

[nsigma]

Hi,

I’ve got a project where I’m using a BufferStrategy on a Canvas of a fixed dimension. I want the option to show this Canvas either in a standard decorated Frame or centred within a full screen (black) window. I’m using (roughly) the following code.

Dimension dim = new Dimension(width, height);
Frame frame = new Frame();
frame.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
frame.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
canvas = new Canvas();
canvas.setMinimumSize(dim);
canvas.setPreferredSize(dim);
frame.add(canvas);
if (fullScreen) {
    frame.setUndecorated(true);
    GraphicsDevice gd = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice();
    gd.setFullScreenWindow(frame);
} else {
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
}

This works great on Linux. I tried it on Windows (7) the other day, and the canvas is rendered in the top left.

Is there something obviously wrong with this approach?
Should I be setting the size of the window explicitly before using FSEM? I was under the impression that setFullScreenWindow() sets the bounds of the window anyway?

I couldn’t find any specific examples of achieving this, so thought I’d ask here - surely someone’s done this before. Tweaks to above code, or ideas for a completely different strategy to make this work cross-platform greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Neil

Sorry to bump this :persecutioncomplex:

Have also changed title to make it more obvious what I’m trying to do. Surely someone’s done this before - what daft mistake am I making???

On this thread I posted some example code on how work with a canvas in fullscreen.

http://www.java-gaming.org/index.php/topic,22661.0.html

you might want to consider making the canvas fullscreen, setting up a bufferstrategy, rendering to a volitile image, then rendering that image in the center of the screen.
or do the extra math and add offset values to each of your calls to draw.
In regards to your layout also make sure to call validate() on the frame.

I just started replying to you, and then noticed you’d added extra information.

Firstly, thanks for responding.

I have seen that thread you linked to. In fact, I posted on it! (Incidentally, the fake full screen code you posted doesn’t work reliably cross-platform for the reasons I posted there.)

I had another look at the rest of the code you posted and realised that you’re using a canvas set to screen size, and realise that I could try the solution you suggest and just render an image into the centre. At the moment I’ve got my code set so that it ignores repaints on the Canvas but not on the Frame to not have the extra (probably minimal) overhead of clearing the area outside the image.

Your comment about validate() may have hit the nail on the head though. I was under the impression that setBounds() automatically revalidated everything. Googling this suggests that there may be a bug that this works differently on Linux and Windows. Will try manually setting the frame size and validating prior to FSEM and see if that works first.

Thanks for your input. I only have an IDE set up on Linux atm so makes tweaking things to test on Windows a bit awkward.

Best wishes, Neil

yeah the code posted there isnt fullscreen exclusive mode, but it wouldnt take much to add it that way.

modified version for fullscreen exclusive mode. and centered the rendering
