  • Field Details

    • PLOTTERS_PROP

      public static final String PLOTTERS_PROP
      System property that may contain a colon-separated list of Plotter implementation class names (with no-arg constructors) to plug in at runtime. This is a bit scrappy - they will show up in all plot types, which probably is not appropriate.

      public GroupControlManager(ControlStack stack, uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.PlotType<P,A> plotType, PlotTypeGui<P,A> plotTypeGui, ListModel<TopcatModel> tablesModel, ZoneFactory zfact, MultiConfigger baseConfigger, TopcatListener tcListener)
      Constructor.
      Parameters:
      stack - control stack which this object will manage
      plotType - defines basic plot characteristics
      plotTypeGui - defines GUI-specific plot characteristics
      tablesModel - list of available tables
      zfact - zone id factory
      baseConfigger - configuration source for some global config options
      tcListener - listener for TopcatEvents; this manager will arrange for it to listen to whatever is the currently selected TopcatModel
  • Method Details

    • getStackActions

      public LayerControlAction[] getStackActions()
      Description copied from interface: ControlManager
      Returns a list of actions which can be performed to add controls to the stack.
      Specified by:
      getStackActions in interface ControlManager
      Returns:
      list of stack actions
    • createDefaultControl

      public Control createDefaultControl(TopcatModel tcModel)
      Description copied from interface: ControlManager
      Returns a suitable control to add to the stack for a given table. It's useful to have something like this so that when the plot window is first shown, it displays some data rather than none. Even if the actual plot is not very meaningful, it gives the user a chance to get started with the GUI with a minimum of thought.
      Specified by:
      createDefaultControl in interface ControlManager
      Parameters:
      tcModel - initial table
      Returns:
      some control that will generate an example plot using table data
    • addLayer

      public void addLayer(LayerCommand<?> lcmd) throws LayerException
      Description copied from interface: ControlManager
      Adds a layer to the plot as specified by the given layer command. Ideally, appropriate changes should be made to the GUI as well, so the effect is just as if the user had added the layer by hand.
      Specified by:
      addLayer in interface ControlManager
      Parameters:
      lcmd - specifies the layer to add
      Throws:
      LayerException - if the layer can't be added
