Is it possible to limit the width and height of a vision component? I tried using the JComponent method setMaximumSize(), but that doesn't seem to accomplish anything.

I hope the video is visible to everyone. So defining the component's outline based on properties is possible with the AbstractVisionShape class. Thanks to @pturmel for pointing me towards vision shapes! The three key functions under that class are: setBoundingRect(Rectangle2D rd) /* rd is the bo…

Perhaps if you explained how you expect this component (and others you are making) to be used in your application(s), we could offer more focused advice.

I want to check out how to subclass Vision shape objects to see if that gets me any further. If you can give me an example on how to do that, that would be helpful.

No different from subclassing AbstractVisionComponent as your code snippet shows. (I've not ever subclassed the shapes--I don't recall any of their class names.)

The component would never resize in real time, only during development. So I would throw a flowline on the vision window, give it an angle and stretch it to the desired length. The width of the flowline is always to remain the same, no matter the component size. I simply want to prevent the compon…

Don't do that with your Vision component. Do that with a nested component, as I mentioned above. Vision, at runtime, is going to resize your component, outside your control. Control the size of whatever you draw inside your component.

I guess that's what I'm doing already. The width of the flowline is already locked to 3 pixels.

So I've been looking at using AbstractVisionShape instead of AbstractVisionComponent. I've been struggling with initializing it however. It keeps giving me errors on the getShapeBounds part of it. An example on how to use this would be great.

Hopefully someone who has done that will pipe up.

I guess no one has used AbstractVisionShape?

You'll have to blaze the trail for the rest of us. :man_shrugging: Of course, it has only been four days, two of which were weekend days, and we are right at the major holiday boundary. Might want to let this simmer a bit more.
