Class ALcyDefaultModelDescriptorFactory

java.lang.Object

com.luciad.lucy.model.ALcyDefaultModelDescriptorFactory

public abstract class ALcyDefaultModelDescriptorFactory
extends Object

Factory to create ILcdModelDescriptors. This factory is typically registered as a service to ILcyLucyEnv.

Contrary to a lot of other factories that can be registered to (a manager of) ILcyLucyEnv, this factory does not have a canCreate facility (or something similar by throwing IllegalArgumentException from the create method). So if several ALcyModelDescriptorFactorys are registered to ILcyLucyEnv, there is no programmatic way to choose one. Instead, only the end user can choose which one to use, which explains the need for a displayName property. For an example of how that can work, please refer to TLcyCreateGXYLayerAction.
