Field Detail

### xOffset

    protected int xOffset

  The x offset position of this block parent. Used for relative (serves as left-offset trait) and absolute positioning (serves as left-position trait).

### yOffset

    protected int yOffset

  The y offset position of this block parent. Used for relative (serves as top-offset trait) and absolute positioning (serves as top-position trait).

### children

    protected java.util.List<Area> children

  The children of this block parent area.

Constructor Detail

### BlockParent

    public BlockParent()

Method Detail

### addChildArea

    public void addChildArea(Area childArea)

  Add a child to this area. The default is to do nothing. Subclasses must override to do something if they can have child areas.

  Overrides:
    `addChildArea` in class `Area`
  Parameters:
    `childArea` - the child area to add

### addBlock

    public void addBlock(Block block)

  Add the block area to this block parent.

  Parameters:
    `block` - the child block area to add

### getChildAreas

    public java.util.List getChildAreas()

  Get the list of child areas for this block area.

  Returns:
    the list of child areas

### isEmpty

    public boolean isEmpty()

  Check whether there are child areas.

  Returns:
    the result.

### setXOffset

    public void setXOffset(int off)

  Set the X offset of this block parent area.

  Parameters:
    `off` - the x offset of the block parent area

### setYOffset

    public void setYOffset(int off)

  Set the Y offset of this block parent area.

  Parameters:
    `off` - the y offset of the block parent area

### getXOffset

    public int getXOffset()

  Get the X offset of this block parent area.

  Returns:
    the x offset of the block parent area

### getYOffset

    public int getYOffset()

  Get the Y offset of this block parent area.

  Returns:
    the y offset of the block parent area
