Interface PrintIterator

All Known Implementing Classes:
WrappedPrintIterator

public interface PrintIterator

The PrintIterator is an object similar to the java Enumeration. It's hasNext() method reports whether there are more Painters available. If this method returns true, it is allowed to call the getNext(...) method, which returns a Painter that is able to paint the next part of the Print.

In general, it's not possible to reuse a PrintIterator. If the PrintIterator is consumed, i.e. the hasNext() method returns false, it's worth nothing any more and it's reference should be released. A new and "full" PrintIterator can be produced by the Print over and over again.
