Introduction

A widget that displays a set of images. Users can navigate through the images. When one selects an image or go to the previous/next image, a smooth transition is applied.

Usage

The first thing to do is to instantiate the widget, then you add images (by calling the methods setImages or addImage)

final Carousel carousel = new Carousel(shell, SWT.NONE);
carousel.addImage(loadImage("images/first.png"));
carousel.addImage(loadImage("images/second.jpg"));
carousel.addImage(loadImage("images/third.png"));

You can customise some elements : color of arrows (setArrowColor()) or the circles :

• The selected index is represented by a filled circle which color that can be changed by calling the method setCircleBackground()
• The non-selected index is represented by a circle that which color can be changed by calling the method setCircleForeground()
• You can change the hover color (color used when the mouse pointer is over a circle) with the method setCircleHoverColor()

A SelectionEvent is fired when the user selects an image.
