All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.Collection, java.util.EventListener, java.awt.event.ItemListener, java.util.List, PsUpdateIf, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

PgPointSet_Menu, PnEnergyMinimizer_Menu

public class PgGeometry_Menu

extends PsMethodMenu

implements PsUpdateIf

Add specific menu items to 'method' menu in control panel to invoke methods from menu. For example, each geometry may have a menu class derived PgGeometry_Menu which adds additional menu items and sub menus. When the geometry is the current geometry in the viewer, then its set of method menus is added to the menu bar of the control window.

Each geometry may add a set of menu items to submenus of the 'method' menu.

Usage:
In the init() method add new menu entries as follows:

		addMenu("Menu-Name");
		addMenuItem("Menu-Name", "Menu-Item-Name");	
 

The submenu is created if it does not exist. Catch menu events in the applyMethod(String name) using:

		if (name.equals("Menu-Item-Name"))
			// invoke method related with "Menu-Item-Name".

Method Detail

init

public void init(PsObject anObject)

Description copied from class: PsMethodMenu

Register the target geometry, and subclasses should register all menu items and submenus.

Overrides:

init in class PsMethodMenu

Following copied from class: jv.objectGui.PsMethodMenu

Parameters:

argument - used by subclasses to specify object on which action shall be executed.

applyMethod

public boolean applyMethod(java.lang.String aMethod)

Description copied from class: PsMethodMenu

Invoke action determined by current string. This method returns false, and should be overwritten by subclasses.

Overrides:

applyMethod in class PsMethodMenu
