Method Detail

getEditableClasses

java.lang.String[] getEditableClasses()

Get the classnames that the loader is able to create EditableOMGraphics for.

getEditableGraphic

EditableOMGraphic getEditableGraphic(java.lang.String classname)

Give the classname of a graphic to create, returning a default EditableOMGraphic for that graphic. If you don't want a graphic type to be part of the GUI, then just return an EditableOMGraphic for that classname here, and don't return it for other queries (getEditableClasses, etc.).

getEditableGraphic

EditableOMGraphic getEditableGraphic(java.lang.String classname,
                                     GraphicAttributes ga)

Give the classname of a graphic to create, returning an EditableOMGraphic for that graphic. The GraphicAttributes object lets you set various other parameters for the graphic. If you don't want a graphic type to be part of the GUI, then just return an EditableOMGraphic for that classname here, and don't return it for other queries (getEditableClasses, etc.).

getEditableGraphic

EditableOMGraphic getEditableGraphic(OMGraphic graphic)

Give an OMGraphic to the EditToolLoader, which will create an EditableOMGraphic for it.

getIcon
