All Implemented Interfaces:

public class TLsp3DPointListEditor
extends ALspEditor

Enables visual editing of ILcd3DEditablePointList objects in an ILspView.

Note that the discussion of the editing behaviour below focuses on how a 3D point list is edited in a 3D view. In a 2D view, editing a 3D point list works the same as when using a TLsp2DPointListEditor.

Handles

The 3D point list editor defines the following edit handles for a 3D point list object:

• 3D point position handles: allows the user to edit the positions of points in the point list. The user can change the XY position of the points by dragging the handle that is projected on the earth. This handle generates MOVE operations, with an XY constraint, and a POINT_INDEX property.
• 3D point height handles: Allows the user to edit the height (Z-value) of the individual points in the point list, by dragging the handle. This handle generates MOVE operations, with a Z constraint, and a and a POINT_INDEX property.
• Object translation handle: allows the user to translate the 3D point list object. In a 2D view, this handle is activated by pressing and dragging the shape itself. In a 3D view, this handle is drawn on the terrain as the base shape of the 3D point list. (the base shape is the shape that is projected on the earth). This handle generates MOVE operations, with an XY constraint, without any additional properties.

The following figure illustrates all the handles: the red dots represent the 3D point handles. The bottom handles are point position handles, and the top handles are point height handles. and the green line represents the object translation handle (in the 3D view case):

Editing

Based on the TLspEditOperation, generated by an edit handle (see description of handles above), this editor performs different edit operations on the associated 3D point list object. The images below illustrate the effect of the different handles. In each image the gray color represents the previous state of the object and the red color represents the edited object:

• 3D point handle
  
  NOTE: only part of the new state (red) is drawn to avoid cluttering the image.
• Object translation handle
  

Creation

The creation process of a 3D point list object consists of a series of two distinct steps:

1. the first step initializes the XY location of the next axis point
2. the second step initializes the height of that point

This process continues until the user performs a finishing event (such as a double-click when using the mouse) which results in creation being finalized. The figures below illustrate the creation process. Relevant changes that are new in each step are marked in red:

Setting the XY location of the first point		Setting the height of the first point		Setting the XY location of the second point		Setting the height of the second point

Constructor Detail

TLsp3DPointListEditor

public TLsp3DPointListEditor()

Creates a new TLsp3DPointListEditor. This constructor does not initialize any state.

Method Detail

canEdit

public boolean canEdit(TLspEditContext aContext)

Returns true if super returns true and the given object is an instance of ILcd3DEditablePointList.

Specified by:

canEdit in interface ILspEditor

Overrides:

canEdit in class ALspEditor

Parameters:

aContext - provides context information to the editor

Returns:

true if the above conditions are met, false otherwise.

editImpl

protected TLspEditOperationResult editImpl(TLspEditOperation aOperation,
                                           ELspInteractionStatus aInteractionStatus,
                                           TLspEditContext aContext)

Called by the edit method to edit the given object based on the given edit operation.

Note that this method does not need to lock the model of the object, this already happens in the edit method.

By default, this editor can handle the following operations:

• TLspEditOperationType.MOVE
• TLspEditOperationType.INSERT_POINT
• TLspEditOperationType.REMOVE_POINT

If any of the operations contains the POINT_INDEX property, with an integer value, then this editor will only perform the operation on that particular point, otherwise it will perform it on the entire point list.

Specified by:

editImpl in class ALspEditor

Parameters:

aOperation - the event that contains the information on how to edit the object

aInteractionStatus -

aContext - the edit context

Returns:

SUCCESS if the above conditions are met, FAILED otherwise. The invalidation hint will be set if a point was added or removed.

getEditHandles

public List<ALspEditHandle> getEditHandles(TLspEditContext aContext)

Returns a set of handles for editing the given object.

These handles will be able to generate edit operations, that are passed to the edit method. As a way to communicate with this method, handles will copy their properties to the edit operation properties. By default this method delegates to the following methods:

• createPointHeightTranslationHandle
• createPointPositionHandle
• createObjectTranslationHandle

It returns a list containing the handles returned by those methods. These methods are added for convenience, so they can easily be overridden.

Note that for the point handles, it delegates multiple times to those methods with different indices. By default this method returns a list that is twice the size, plus one, of the size of the pointlist.

Parameters:

aContext - provides context information such as the layer for which the object is being edited

Returns:

the edit handles to edit the given object, or an empty list if it should not be possible to edit the given object.

createRemovePointHandle

protected ALspEditHandle createRemovePointHandle(ILcd2DEditablePointList aPointList,
                                                 int aIndex,
                                                 TLspEditContext aContext)

Creates a point removal handle for the point with index aIndex of the given point list. A POINT_INDEX user property with the given index as value is set on the handle.

Parameters:

aPointList - the point list for which the handle is returned

aIndex - the index of the point in the point list, for which the handle is created

aContext - the current context

Returns:

a handle that allows the user to remove the point with given index, or null if no handle is needed

createPointHeightTranslationHandle

protected ALspEditHandle createPointHeightTranslationHandle(ILcd3DEditablePointList aPointList,
                                                            int aPointIndex,
                                                            TLspEditContext aContext)

Creates a point height handle. Override this method to change the behavior of point height handles, or make it return null to disable creation of point height handles.

By default this method returns a TLspObjectHeightTranslationHandle. A POINT_INDEX user property with the given index as value is set on the handle.

Parameters:

aPointList - the pointlist for which to create a point height handle

aPointIndex - the index of the point for which to create a point height handle

aContext - edit context information

Returns:

An edit handle to change the height of a point, or null if this handle should not be created.

createPointPositionHandle

protected ALspEditHandle createPointPositionHandle(ILcd3DEditablePointList aPointList,
                                                   int aPointIndex,
                                                   TLspEditContext aContext)

Creates a point position handle. By default this will be an instance of TLspPointTranslationHandle, with a user property containing the index of the point. Override this method to change the behavior of point position handles, or make it return null to disable creation of point position handles.

Parameters:

aPointList - the pointlist for which to create a point position handle

aPointIndex - the index of the point for which to create a point position handle

aContext - edit context information

Creates an edit handle that allows the user to translate the given point list horizontally (i.e. parallel to the terrain).

Note that by default this method returns a different handle depending on whether the view is a 2D- or a 3D view: in the 2D case, a TLspObjectTranslationHandle is returned, otherwise a TLspProjectedObjectTranslationHandle is returned.

Parameters:

aPointList - the point list for which the handle is created

aContext - the current context

Returns:

an edit handle or null when no handle is needed

getCreateHandle

public ALspEditHandle getCreateHandle(TLspEditContext aContext)

Returns a handle that is used to create the given object. The returned handle is used by the controller to initialize the other of the object.

Typically the returned handle is an instance of ALspCreateHandle which is a specialized handle implementation used for creating an object.

By default, this method returns an ALspCreateHandle capable of creating an ILcd3DEditablePointList, as described in the class javadoc.

Parameters:

aContext - provides context information such as the layer for which the object is being created

Returns:

an edit handle, or null if creation should not be allowed.
