As discussed the other day I'm implementing another new open plugin
which is designed to allow pluggable wizards for loading other things in
addition to files.
I have a prototype of this working which first shows a list of types of
things that can be loaded with an optional Icon. For this I'd like to
have 32x32 size icons for this with the name of the type below it. If
someone can help with some icons that would be great. At the moment I'm
just using the 16x16 icons.
The default implementation will have my Open File and Open Project icon.
In addition to this it will get all non file based
DataSourceQueryChoosers registered and wrap them in my new framework.
For this it uses getComponent on the chooser to get the UI to accept the
options and then uses the getDataSourceQueries when finished is pressed
to load them. I've tested this with the PostGIS plug-in and it works
without any changes. It should also work with the ArcSDE one too.
The other option is developers can create their own WizardGroup using
the following interface and register this with the OpenPlugIn. The
advantage of this approach is you can have a more complex UI with
validation of fields etc. The getPanels() method returns one or more
WizardPanels for the UI. The getFirstId() returns the ID of the first
panel to use and the run method is called after the finish button is
pressed. It's in this method that the loading of data is done. It uses
the Threaded plugin so it will not be running in the UI thread.
public interface WizardGroup {
public String getName();
public Icon getIcon();
public List<WizardPanel> getPanels();
public String getFirstId();
public void run(TaskMonitor monitor);
}
I'm going to clean everything up this weekend and check in next week.
