Class LocaleFlag

java.lang.Object
  biz.chitec.quarterback.swing.LocaleFlag

public class LocaleFlag

extends java.lang.Object

Management class for locale flags. Knows how to load a flag for a certain locale and returns it through its static method. Flag design is controlled via the flag mode and depends on whether the locale contains a country or only a language. Flag modes are defined in LocaleFlagTypes:

• NONE: No flag is ever returned.
• COUNTRYONLY: Flag depends only on country. A language-only locale gets no flag.
• GRAYEDLANGUAGE: A language-only locale gets a grayed version of the flag for the default country for this language.
• NORMALLANGUAGE: A language-only locale gets the flag for the default country for this language.
• BRIGHTENEDLANGUAGE: A language-only locale gets a brightened version of the flag for the default country for this language.

The default-country for a language is defined in the resources for this class.

Flag objects are cached so that loading and scaling only happens once per locale and flag height.
