Part Five: Doing More With JPE & DIP

The MouseToolManager object in JPEFrame has some more convenient methods.

The getCurrentTool( ) returns currently selected mouse tool.
When the marquee rect is current, the DraggingToolMarqueeRect object is returned.

When the Frame Line tool is selected, the DraggingToolLine object is returned.

The getPoints( ) method returns a trajectory of the mouse when the tool is used by mouse clicks or drag.

The points are received in {{x1,x2,...,xn},{y1,y2,...,yn}} format.

The same result is obtained by GetPointsAsList[ ] function.

Six tools; Frame Rect, Frame Oval, Frame Poly, Fill Rect, Fill Oval, and Fill Poly, can return its shape as a Java object.

In case of Frame Oval tool, the bounding rectangle is returned.
