Method Detail

colorNames

public static java.util.Iterator colorNames()

Get an iterator over the known color names

getColor

public static java.awt.Color getColor(java.lang.String name)

Given a string representing a color, return a color that represents it. The string argument can be a hexadecimal or octal number, or a color name. If a color name, then it is first looked up in the default color table. If not found there, then it is looked up in the System properties. If after all that a color is not found, then return black.

parseStyleString

public static java.util.Map parseStyleString(java.lang.String style)

Given a style string, parse it into a map of elements. Here is what an example string might look like: "font: ariel; stroke: red; stroke-width: 2". See the SVG specification for more.

parseCoordString

public static double[] parseCoordString(java.lang.String s)

Parse a string of numbers into an array of double. The doubles can be delimited by commas and spaces.
