public class TLcyFormatBarAddOn
extends ALcyPreferencesAddOn

This add-on provides one menu/tool bar item that enables/disables the presence of a container for ALcyFormatBars, located at the bottom of the ILcyGenericMapComponent (location is configurable). Layer selection on the map component is monitored, and the format bar that matches with the format of the selected layer is displayed in the container.

ALcyFormatBars have a (Swing) component that can be anything, and are created by an ALcyFormatBarFactory that is retrieved from the ILcyLucyEnv. A typical use is to have a drawing tool bar below the map, that has buttons to start drawing new domain objects into (the model of) the layer. Please refer to TLcyDrawingAddOn for an example of an add-on that registers a drawing bar.

The add-on also provides support for a menu/tool bar item that can be used to create new layers. The behaviour of this item is identical to that of ALcyCreateLayersAction. This class is typically used in the AddOn that registers a ALcyFormatBar. Note that if the action is to be shown in a menu (as is the case in the default Lucy installation), it should be registered as a reaction to a map that is being added to the Lucy map manager. If it is registered in the ALcyFormatBar itself, it will not appear in the menu until the format bar has been made visible.

This add-on currently supports GXY and Lsp map components.
