Constructor Detail

CControlPerspective

Gets the CControl in whose realm this CControlPerspective operates.

Returns:

the owner of this perspective

createEmptyPerspective

public CPerspective createEmptyPerspective()

Creates a new CPerspective that is set up with all the stations of the CControl. There are no Dockables stored in the new perspective.

Returns:

the new perspective

getPerspective

public CPerspective getPerspective(boolean includeWorkingAreas)

Gets a perspective that matches the current layout of the application.

Parameters:

includeWorkingAreas - whether Dockables that are managed by a working-area should be included in the layout or not

the current perspective

getNames

Gets the names of all the perspectives that are available.

Returns:

all the names

getPerspective

public CPerspective getPerspective(String name)

Gets the perspective which represents a layout that was stored using CControl.save(String).

Parameters:

name - the name of the stored layout

Returns:

setPerspective

public void setPerspective(CPerspective perspective,
                           boolean includeWorkingAreas)

Changes the layout of the associated CControl such that it matches perspective.

Parameters:

perspective - the perspective to apply, not null

includeWorkingAreas - whether Dockables that are managed by a working-area should be included in the layout or not

setPerspective

public void setPerspective(String name,
                           CPerspective perspective)

removePerspective

public void removePerspective(String name)

Deletes the perspective with name name.

Writes the contents of perspective into root using the factories provided by this CControlPerspective.

Parameters:

root - the element to write into, not null

perspective - the perspective to write, not null

includeWorkingAreas - whether the output contains information about children of working areas (includeWorkingAreas = true) or not (includeWorkingAreas = false)

Writes the contents of perspective into out using the factories provided by this CControlPerspective.

Parameters:

out - the stream to write into, not null

                      boolean includeWorkingAreas)

Converts perspective into a CSetting.

readXML

public CPerspective readXML(XElement root)
                     throws XException

Creates a new CPerspective using the information stored in root. While this method uses the factories provided by this CControlPerspective, the new CPerspective is not registered anywhere. It is the clients responsibility to call setPerspective(String, CPerspective) or setPerspective(CPerspective, boolean) to actually use the result of this method.

Parameters:

root - the element which contains information about a perspective

Returns:

the new perspective

Throws:

XException - if the structure of root is not as expected

readXML

                     throws XException

Creates a new CPerspective using the information stored in root. While this method uses the factories provided by this CControlPerspective, the new CPerspective is not registered anywhere. It is the clients responsibility to call setPerspective(String, CPerspective) or setPerspective(CPerspective, boolean) to actually use the result of this method.

Parameters:

root - the element which contains information about a perspective

includeWorkingAreas - whether the perspective contains information about children of working areas (includeWorkingAreas = true) or not (includeWorkingAreas = false). This parameter should have the same value as was used when calling write(DataOutputStream, CPerspective, boolean).
