Floor Plan and Buttons

The project is part of an Home Control application written in Java. We need a java application which later will run on an embedded system in the wall of a room to control the room or floor of a building. Since the device is defined all the positioning has to be fixed, no layout managers etc. The input parameters are in a comma delimitered file. This file basically controls the setup of the application. The contents of the file are - path to a gif or tiff file with the floorplan in question - x,y size of the application window - multiple lines with the following information in each: - object name - display text, - object type - lower value, upper value limit, Increment - object size x,y (pixels) - object position x,y (pixels from upper left corner) - text above / below / left / right of information the graphics file has to be read, scaled to the size of the application window and displayed as background. The the buttons/text areas of the different objects have to be displayed on top of the floorplan in the given size at the given position. There are the following types: INF - Infomation only, display the value BUT - Display current value and also 2 buttons, one for the low and one for the high value SLI - Display current value and slider to set the new value PMB - current value and two buttons, one current - increment, one current + increment The current value or the object is delivered by regular UDP blocks. The application needs to open an UDP port xxxx and listen to all blocks. The have the format OHA,NEWVAL,objectName,value (allways integer) When a change via one of the buttons is requested the applications needs to send an udp block to port yyy in the format OHA,CHANGE,objectName,value This will be part of a much larger application. Feel free to ask questions. Thank you for reading.
