### Constructor Detail

#### ObjectBuffer

    public ObjectBuffer(ObjectBufferConsumer target,
                int capacity)

Constructs and returns a new buffer with the given target.

Parameters:
  `target` - the target to flush to.
  `capacity` - the number of points the buffer shall be capable of holding before overflowing and flushing to the target.

### Method Detail

#### add

    public void add(java.lang.Object element)

Adds the specified element to the receiver.

Parameters:
  `element` - the element to add.

#### addAllOf

    public void addAllOf(ObjectArrayList list)

Adds all elements of the specified list to the receiver.

Specified by:
  `addAllOf` in interface `ObjectBufferConsumer`
Parameters:
  `list` - the list of which all elements shall be added.

#### clear

    public void clear()

Sets the receiver's size to zero. In other words, forgets about any internally buffered elements.

#### flush

    public void flush()

Adds all internally buffered elements to the receiver's target, then resets the current buffer size to zero.
