Type Parameters:

VELEMENT - the actual type of the VElement to be drawn

public abstract class AbstractSWTRenderer<VELEMENT extends VElement>
extends AbstractRenderer<VELEMENT>

Common base class for all SWT specific renderer classes. A renderer using other renderers to render its contents must call this methods in this order:

  getGridDescription(SWTGridDescription)
  for each SWTGridCell
        render(SWTGridCell, Composite)
 finalizeRendering(Composite)
 

If you don't call finalizeRendering(Composite) after the rendering, the automatic disposing of the renderer will not work, as well as the initial validation check.
