Class Bridge

java.lang.Object
  org.jzy3d.bridge.swt.Bridge

public class Bridge
extends java.lang.Object

Adapts an AWT component into an SWT container. The following piece of code shows a convenient way of porting an AWT component to SWT:

public class SWTplot extends AWTplot{

public SWTplot(Composite parent){

super();
Bridge.adapt(parent, this);
}
}

Important notice: AWT components may trigger events (mouse, keyboard, component events, etc). When attaching a listener on a bridged AWT component that is supposed to modify an SWT widget (such as a text field), it is required to perform this modification into the SWT UI event queue. If not, the target SWT component will throw a SWTException with message "Invalid thread access". Indeed, all SWT widgets check that they are modified inside the UI thread.

Thus, it is suggested to compute events this way:
Text info = new Text(parent, SWT.None);
SWTplot plot = new SWTplot(parent);
plot.addPlotListener(new PlotListener(){

public void handleEvent(Event e){

Display.getDefault().asyncExec(new Runnable(){

info.setText(e.toString());

});

}

});
