Method Detail

getCLocation

CLocation getCLocation(Dockable dockable)

Gets the location of dockable which is in this mode.

Parameters:

dockable - the element whose location is asked

Returns:

the location or null if it cannot be determined

getCLocation

CLocation getCLocation(Dockable dockable,
                       Location location)

Gets the location of dockable which might or might not be a child of this mode.

Parameters:

dockable - the element

location - the location dockable is supposed to be in if in this mode.

Returns:

the location or null if it cannot be determined

isBasicMode

boolean isBasicMode()

Tells whether this mode is a basic mode or not. There are basic and advanced modes. A basic and an advanced mode may share the same representation (the same DockStations), but if in doubt the basic mode has more weight.

Returns:

true if this is a basic mode

respectWorkingAreas

boolean respectWorkingAreas(DockStation station)

Tells whether Dockables which have this mode applied should respect the settings for CWorkingAreas.

Parameters:

station - the station which is the parent of the Dockables

Returns:

true if the settings should be respected, false otherwise
