org.refcodes.data.AsciiColorPalette

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<AsciiColorPalette>

public enum AsciiColorPalette
extends Enum<AsciiColorPalette>

An enumeration for text palette definitions to make it easy working with such default palettes. Such palettes can be used when drawing ASCII art, each character element in a palette represents a gray scale, from bright (first element) to dark (last element).

Method Detail

values

public static AsciiColorPalette[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (AsciiColorPalette c : AsciiColorPalette.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static AsciiColorPalette valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getPalette

public char[] getPalette()

Returns the palette for the according enumeration element.

Returns:

The according palette.

fromPaletteName

public static AsciiColorPalette fromPaletteName(String aPaletteName)

Retrieves the enumeration element representing the given palette name (ignoring the case) or null if none was found.

Parameters:

aPaletteName - The palette name for which to get the enumeration element.

Returns:

The enumeration element determined or null if none matching was found.
