public interface Drawable
Implementers of Drawable can have a graphics context (GC) created for them, and then they can be drawn on by sending messages to their associated GC. SWT images, and device objects such as the Display device and the Printer device, are drawables.

IMPORTANT: This interface is not part of the SWT public API. It is marked public only so that it can be shared within the packages provided by SWT. It should never be referenced from application code.

    • isAutoScalable

      default boolean isAutoScalable()
      Returns true iff coordinates can be auto-scaled on this drawable and false if not. E.g. a GC method should not auto-scale the bounds of a figure drawn on a Printer device, but it may have to auto-scale when drawing on a high-DPI Display monitor.
      Returns:
      true if auto-scaling is enabled for this drawable
      Restriction:
      This method is not intended to be referenced by clients.
