createPaintedObject

public static PaintedObject createPaintedObject(java.lang.String type,
                                                java.lang.String attributes,
                                                java.lang.String content)

Create a new painted object. The element is parsed from two strings, the first being a representation of the element type, and the second being an XML-style attribute string. Any attributes that are not recognized will be ignored. Legal types and their attributes are:

• line coords=vertex-list fill=color width=integer
• rectangle coords=x y width height fill=color outline=color width=integer
• ellipse coords=x y width height fill=color outline=color width=integer
• polygon coords=vertex-list fill=color outline=color width=integer
• text coords=x y fill=color font=font-name size=int style=bold|italic|plain

public static PaintedObject createPaintedObject(java.lang.String type,
                                                java.util.Map attributes,
                                                java.lang.String content)

Create a new painted object. The first argument is a string representation of the element type, and the second is a hash-table containing attributes of the object. Any attributes that are not recognized will be ignored. See the add(String, String) for a description of legal types and their attributes.
