Interface MapPanel

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicMapPanel, DockMapPanel, OverlayMapPanel, TimelinePanel, TimeSliderPanel

public interface MapPanel

The MapPanel is a interface describing a component that contains a MapBean, MapHandler, menu widgets and all the other components connected to make an OpenMap map widget. A MapPanel is a self-contained OpenMap Swing component. It is expected that the MapPanel will extend from java.awt.Container. If it doesn't, it might not be automatically added to the OpenMapFrame or OpenMapApplet if it is found in the MapHandler.
