    • Field Detail

      • PLOTTERS_PROP

        public static final java.lang.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.

      • GroupControlManager

        public GroupControlManager​(ControlStack stack,
                                   uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.PlotType plotType,
                                   PlotTypeGui plotTypeGui,
                                   TypedListModel<TopcatModel> tablesModel,

                                   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 Detail

      • getStackActions

        public javax.swing.Action[] 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
