Interface PrototypeCellProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

ListDataItemCellRenderer, TooltipDataItemCellRenderer

public interface PrototypeCellProvider

The PrototypeCellProvider interface defines a way for the JList to obtain a prototype cell for the given list model. This interface can be implemented by the list cell renderer (since it typically understands the list data model.)

For an example of this, refer to ListDataItemCellRenderer or TooltipDataItemCellRenderer.

Parameters:

list - the JList instance

listModel - the list model of the JList

Returns:

an appropriate prototype cell for the list model
