[udig-devel] RFC adding an extension point

[Moser-Spitzenstaetter Ludwig]

Motivation

Using the current code ApplicationGIS.openMap allows yout to open a map, but pops up the MapEditor in the Perspective you are in. It is not possible now to tell where to open the View (actually ist an Editor). Though a Custom Perspective is available using the Editor (which is fine and uses the Editor when the ApplicationGIS.openMap was already called, with the loaded Project).



I took some screenshots to show what i tried to explain.

1) The uDig Perspective


2) Another perspective with a button to load a uDig Project (GIS test button, middle left)


3) After clicking the button, the map opens


4) Switching now tot he uDig Perspective:


So opening the map works fine, but it would be helpful to define where the view for the map is displayed (and it can be added to other perspectives too, when if it is accessable as a view)

Inspiration

My inspiration came from an existing plugin i wrote (using google maps - but this is not comparable to a real GIS application like uDig. But here is a screenshot how it could look like:





Proposal

? I had contact with Jody about this and he wrote

"Adding an extension point for ApplicationGIS.openMap would give you code to open a view or editor and add it to an custom Perspective"

Ludwig,

I'm not sure whether I got you intention and what goal you like to achieve.
In general the configuration of a Perspective is independent of uDig.
Because of the fact uDig Map is an Editor you only have to define an
Editor-Area for your perspective with a layout you like (width, height,
position, etc). Whenever the user has opened this perspective the editor
will open in that editor area. If the user clicked on your action that
executes ApplicationGIS.openMap() the editor will open up in the editor
area as well defined by the perspective.

http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html#editor_perspective

If the user decides to show map editors side by side the user can easily
drag and drop the editor tab to the place relative to the editor space.

So, is your RFC still required or can you solve your requirements by
defining a perspective in a way like mentioned above?
HTH,
Frank

It would be a fun idea and allow us to open either the old editor / toolbar or the new editor/palette.

Suppose we would need an extension point, and a preference page.

I think we are still discussing on email here to make sure we know what we are about.

Actually I may have a good idea:

I was thinking if we could handle this like cut/copy/paste - ie register an OpenMapHandler using the eclipse facilities for actions / commands / handlers.

Hello,



I?m waiting for any updates on this topic for about two weeks,

any chance to get this rfc done?



Afaik its all about defining an extension point and/or enabling something/code that was already possible/available some time back.

Am i wrong?



If i had only a little idea how to do it, i?d do it, but as i have no idea, i cant do it? ;-)



Thanks in Advance

[Panagiotis Skintzos]

Hi, I don't think any extension point is really required as the Eclipse UI
framework can be used to accomplish what you need.

As the map editor is a standard Eclipse editor part, it will be placed
wherever the "Editor area" is defined in the perspective.
And ANY perspective which has the "Editor area" visible, it will display
the map (and any other editor).
You can use the IPageLayout.setEditorAreaVisible method to hide the editor
area in some perspective if you wish.
If you use the map in a view, the view can be defined to be in a certain
area of the perspective.

So, in your custom perspective class, override "createInitialLayout"
method, to define placement or placeholders for your views relative to the
editor area.
Use the createFolder, addView and addPlaceholder methods of the IPageLayout
interface.

In that way you can customize any perspective to have the desired layout.
Nothing else is required from uDig side I think.

Using the current code ApplicationGIS.openMap allows yout to open a map,
but pops up the MapEditor in the Perspective you are in. It is not possible
now to tell where to open the View (actually ist an Editor). Though a
Custom Perspective is available using the Editor (which is fine and uses
the Editor when the ApplicationGIS.openMap was already called, with the
loaded Project).****

[Moser-Spitzenstaetter Ludwig]

Well what you describe is what i tried.

Fact is, when i load a project, it switches the map to my udig perspective, where it is used as editor.

In ALL my other views there is no editor, only views -> therefore the map shall be displayed in this view, not in my other perspective as editor.

This is tested and i already had a talk with jody, who told me it is needed to define such an extension point.



To create short summary of my application:

a perspective where users can edit a map.

Lots of other perspectives

And ONE perspective where the map is shown (points, lines etc are added to this map by code)

Adding stuff to the map works fine, but, as mentioned above, the map pops up at the wrong position (though it is clearly defined in my perspectives).



Ludwig



PS: as you note: "As the map editor is a standard Eclipse editor part" - sorry to say so, but udig is going to be part of my application, not vice versa.

Betreff: Re: [udig-devel] RFC adding an extension point



Hi, I don't think any extension point is really required as the Eclipse UI framework can be used to accomplish what you need.



As the map editor is a standard Eclipse editor part, it will be placed wherever the "Editor area" is defined in the perspective.

And ANY perspective which has the "Editor area" visible, it will display the map (and any other editor).

You can use the IPageLayout.setEditorAreaVisible method to hide the editor area in some perspective if you wish.

If you use the map in a view, the view can be defined to be in a certain area of the perspective.



So, in your custom perspective class, override "createInitialLayout" method, to define placement or placeholders for your views relative to the editor area.

Use the createFolder, addView and addPlaceholder methods of the IPageLayout interface.



In that way you can customize any perspective to have the desired layout. Nothing else is required from uDig side I think.

Ok, still it's a bit confusing.

PS: as you note: ?As the map editor is a standard *Eclipse editor part*?
? sorry to say so, but udig is going to be part of my application, not vice
versa.

By "Eclipse editor part" I mean the Eclipse EditorPart UI elements, as
opposed to ViewPart elements

Ok two perspectives with a map. Is it the same map object or two different
map objects? If different, do they belong to same project object?
Is it so that the first perspective should contain a map inside an editor
part, and the second should contain a map in a view part?
Or both should be in an editor part?

What is the correct position?
