I can't say for sure just yet, but I think rewriting TinLayer to extend Layer is the wrong way to go. Getting you access to Layerable's trough the PlugInContext shouldn't be too hard, if the functionality isn't there already.
Let's see if the others have comments. If not, I'll take a look at the PlugInContext and LayerManager class today on my lunch break and will get back to you with some ideas. Christopher wrote: "but then I still have to deal with all the display code that expects Layers." Can you give me some ideas of what you are talking about? It doesn't do much good to have a Layerable class if it is a pain-in-the-rear to add Layerable implementations. So your frustrations may be a clue that we need to look more closely at the way the Layerable interface interacts with the rest of the core. Maybe Martin Davis remembers the inent of the Layerable interface and could share any thoughts he has.
