public class TLcyLspMapAddOn
extends ALcyPreferencesAddOn

This add-on is the Lightspeed counterpart of the TLcyMapAddOn, and is structured very similarly.

It provides:

• Lightspeed map back-end TLcyLspMapBackEnd: a class providing functionality to create and dispose Lightspeed map components ILcyLspMapComponent.
• Lightspeed map component factory TLcyLspMapComponentFactory: creates the Lightspeed map components. This allows all parts of the map component to be modified. This factory can be modified by overriding createGUIFactory(String), or by adapting the configuration file. Consult the Lucy Developer guide for more information.
• Lightspeed map manager TLcyLspMapManager: the map manager responsible for all Lightspeed map components. This map manager will be registered to the Lucy back-end as service( see ILcyLucyEnv.getService(Class) ).

It is possible to have multiple types of map component. For each type of map component a separate factory is created (see createGUIFactory(String)). The configuration file of the add-on allows to have separate properties passed to each factory. This mechanism is further illustrated in the missionmap sample.

Consult the Lucy developer guide for more information on how to customize Lightspeed maps.

Typical use-cases

Creating a new map

Creating a map and adding it the UI can be done through the back-end

  ILcyLucyEnv lucy = ...;

  TLcyLspMapAddOn mapAddOn = aLucyEnv.retrieveAddOnByClass(TLcyLspMapAddOn.class);
  TLcyLspMapBackEnd mapBackEnd = mapAddOn.getMapBackEnd();

  //This method will create the map, but also ensure that it is added to the UI, registered to the map manager, ...
  ILcyLspMapComponent mapComponent = mapBackEnd.createMapComponent();
 

Removing a map

Removing a map is done by disposing the application pane containing the map:

   ILcyLucyEnv lucy = ...;
   ILcyGenericMapComponent map = ...;

   //Request the manager of the UI panels in Lucy
   TLcyApplicationPaneManager applicationPaneManager = lucy.getUserInterfaceManager().getApplicationPaneManager();

   //Ask the manager to dispose the application pane of the map
   //This will trigger all necessary clean-up code
   applicationPaneManager.applyOnApplicationPane(map.getComponent(), ILcyApplicationPane::disposeApp);
 

An alternative is using the back-end

   ILcyLucyEnv lucy = ...;
   ILcyLspMapComponent map = ...;

   TLcyLspMapAddOn mapAddOn = aLucyEnv.retrieveAddOnByClass(TLcyLspMapAddOn.class);
   TLcyLspMapBackEnd mapBackEnd = mapAddOn.getMapBackEnd();

   mapBackEnd.disposeMapComponent(map);

Method Detail

plugInto

public void plugInto(ILcyLucyEnv aLucyEnv)

Description copied from class: ALcyPreferencesAddOn

Creates and plugs in the add-on's preferences tool.

Overrides:

plugInto in class ALcyPreferencesAddOn

Parameters:

aLucyEnv - the Lucy environment to plug into

See Also:

ALcyAddOn.unplugFrom(com.luciad.lucy.ILcyLucyEnv)

unplugFrom

public void unplugFrom(ILcyLucyEnv aLucyEnv)

Description copied from class: ALcyPreferencesAddOn

Unplugs the add-on's preferences tool.

Overrides:

unplugFrom in class ALcyPreferencesAddOn

Parameters:

aLucyEnv - the Lucy environment

See Also:

ALcyAddOn.plugInto(com.luciad.lucy.ILcyLucyEnv)

getMapBackEnd

public final TLcyLspMapBackEnd getMapBackEnd()

Returns the back-end for Lightspeed maps.

Returns:

a TLcyLspMapBackEnd object

createGUIFactory

protected ALcyGUIFactory<ILcyLspMapComponent> createGUIFactory(String aMapComponentType)

Returns a new ALcyGUIFactory for a specific map component type. Override this method if you want to modify the map components.

It is also possible to modify the returned GUI factory by altering the config file of the add-on. Consult the configuration file for more information on how to achieve this.

Typically you should not call this method yourself. If you want to create a new map component through the code, use the TLcyLspMapBackEnd#createMapComponent(String) method.

The Lucy developer guide contains more information about customizing Lightspeed maps.

Parameters:

aMapComponentType - The type of the map component

Returns:

a new ALcyGUIFactory for a specific map component type. Must not be null
