A piece of scenic canvas, painted or plain, that is flown or fixed to hang in a vertical position. A Backcloth hangs at the rear of a scene. A Floorcloth is a painted canvas sheet placed on the stage floor to mark out the acting area, or to achieve a particular effect. A Frontcloth hangs well downstage, often to hide a scene change taking place behind. Cut cloths have cut-away open areas and are normally used as a series, painted in perspective. A Star Cloth (usually black) has a large number of small low-voltage lamps sewn or pinned through it which gives a magical starry sky effect. (See also Fibre Optics). In the US, a cloth is known as a Drop (from backdrop).

- Method in interface java.awt.dnd.DropTargetListener 
public void drop (DropTargetDropEvent  dtde)
The drag operation has terminated with a drop on this DropTarget. This method is responsible for undertaking the transfer of the data associated with the gesture. The DropTargetDropEvent provides a means to obtain a Transferable object that represents the data object(s) to be transfered. From this method, the DropTargetListener shall accept or reject the drop via the acceptDrop(int dropAction) or rejectDrop() methods of the DropTargetDropEvent parameter. Subsequent to acceptDrop(), but not before, DropTargetDropEvent's getTransferable() method may be invoked, and data transfer may be performed via the returned Transferable's getTransferData() method. At the completion of a drop, an implementation of this method is required to signal the success/failure of the drop by passing an appropriate boolean to the DropTargetDropEvent's dropComplete(boolean success) method. Note: The actual processing of the data transfer is not required to finish before this method returns. It may be deferred until later. Parameters: dtde - the DropTargetDropEvent

- Method in class java.awt.dnd.DropTarget 
public void drop (DropTargetDropEvent  dtde)
The DropTarget intercepts drop() notifications before the registered DropTargetListener gets them. Specified by:  drop in interface DropTargetListener Parameters: dtde - the DropTargetDropEvent
