method:paint(java.awt.Graphics) [NONE]

paint
```
public void paint(Graphics g)
```
Description copied from class: JComponent

Invoked by Swing to draw components. Applications should not invoke paint directly, but should instead use the repaint method to schedule the component for redrawing.
This method actually delegates the work of painting to three protected methods: paintComponent, paintBorder, and paintChildren. They're called in the order listed to ensure that children appear on top of component itself. Generally speaking, the component and its children should not paint in the insets area allocated to the border. Subclasses can just override this method, as always. A subclass that just wants to specialize the UI (look and feel) delegate's paint method should just override paintComponent.

Overrides:

paint in class JComponent

Parameters:

g - the Graphics context in which to paint

method:getPreferredSize() [NONE]

getPreferredSize
```
public Dimension getPreferredSize()
```
Returns the preferred size of the BasicArrowButton.

Overrides:

getPreferredSize in class JComponent

Returns:

the preferred size

See Also:

JComponent.setPreferredSize(java.awt.Dimension), ComponentUI

method:getMinimumSize() [NONE]

getMinimumSize
```
public Dimension getMinimumSize()
```
Returns the minimum size of the BasicArrowButton.

Overrides:

getMinimumSize in class JComponent

Returns:

the minimum size

See Also:

JComponent.setMinimumSize(java.awt.Dimension), ComponentUI

method:getMaximumSize() [NONE]

getMaximumSize
```
public Dimension getMaximumSize()
```
Returns the maximum size of the BasicArrowButton.

Overrides:

getMaximumSize in class JComponent

Returns:

the maximum size

See Also:

JComponent.setMaximumSize(java.awt.Dimension), ComponentUI

method:isFocusTraversable() [NONE]

isFocusTraversable
```
public boolean isFocusTraversable()
```
Returns whether the arrow button should get the focus. BasicArrowButtons are used as a child component of composite components such as JScrollBar and JComboBox. Since the composite component typically gets the focus, this method is overriden to return false.

Overrides:

isFocusTraversable in class Component

Returns:

false

Component.setFocusable(boolean)

method:paintTriangle(java.awt.Graphics, int, int, int, int, boolean) [NONE]

paintTriangle
```
public void paintTriangle(Graphics g,
                          int x,
                          int y,
                          int size,
                          int direction,
                          boolean isEnabled)
```
Paints a triangle.

Parameters:

g - the Graphics to draw to

x - the x coordinate

y - the y coordinate

size - the size of the triangle to draw

direction - the direction in which to draw the arrow; one of SwingConstants.NORTH, SwingConstants.SOUTH, SwingConstants.EAST or SwingConstants.WEST
