public class PjProject
extends PsObject
implements PsTimeListenerIf, PvPickListenerIf

Central control class whose subclasses are application specific user projects. Projects might compute surfaces, load geometries from file, or solve differential equations. They are specialized classes making use of all the functionality available in JavaView. Projects can be used as building blocks in other projects.

The advantage of wrapping an application inside a project rather than an applet is the fact, that projects are considered as building blocks respectively modules in JavaView, which can be used by other projects to perform specific tasks. Although applets usually wrap an application but they contain too many presentation specific functionality to serve as reusable modules.

Subclasses are usually instantiated at following occasions:

1. Inside an applet and passed to the PvViewer as current project. This mainly determines the initial functionality of the applet.
2. Inside other projects to enhance their functionality. In such a case the project has usually no connection to the viewer and display.
3. Interactively through the control menu. This is similar to step 1.

If projects are registered in PvViewer, then PvViewer registers itself as parent of the project. This happens e.g. in cases 1. and 3. above, In case 2. the container project may, for example, register itself as parent. When the project is selected in PvViewer by selectProject(PjProject), then that method in turn registers a default display and invokes the start() method of this project.

A project has a main geometry, although it may have more geometries and even a network of geometries. It may have associated displays (might not be true in future), it may have an associated animation to receive update(time) events, and it may receive pick events from an associated PvDisplay.

A project may have an animation object which handles the projects animations. If a project has an animation object, then the animation panel is shown when the project's start() method is invoked during loading of the project. Only one animation object may be set in a project, but a user might register the project in other animation objects. Use setAnimation(PsAnimation) to register an animation.

To be able to access the global viewer the project must either be registered in PvViewer using addProject() or the viewer should be set directly using setViewer().

Even if the geometry was previously added to this project, this method re-registers in the display since it might have been deleted in the display.

The update of the display is performed only if the argument geometry is not already registered in the display.

false if geometry was null or already registered in project.

Since:

JavaView 3.57.003

removeGeometries

public void removeGeometries()

Remove all registered geometries from project and registered displays.

getNumGeometries

See Also:

addGeometry(PgGeometryIf)

getGeometry

public PgGeometryIf getGeometry(int anInd)

Get a registered geometry with given index. Geometries are ordered like a vector, i.e. geometries added later have larger index. Index may change if geometries are removed.

See Also:

addGeometry(PgGeometryIf)

getGeometry

public PgGeometryIf getGeometry()

Get currently selected geometry of project. Subclasses should return the major geometry offered to other module projects.

See Also:

selectGeometry(PgGeometryIf)

getAnimation

public PsAnimation getAnimation()

Get the animation object of the project which handles the projects animations. This listener may only have a single animation object which is assigned by the animation object when this listener is registered using setAnimation(PsAnimation).

Specified by:

getAnimation in interface PsTimeListenerIf

See Also:

hasAnimation(), setAnimation(PsAnimation)

hasAnimation

public boolean hasAnimation()

Check whether this project is registered as listener of an animation object.

Specified by:

hasAnimation in interface PsTimeListenerIf

See Also:

getAnimation(), setAnimation(PsAnimation)

setAnimation

public void setAnimation(PsAnimation anAnimation)

Assign the animation object where this listener is registered. This method is invoked by the animation object during registration of this listener, and usually is not required to be called by a user. If this listener has an assigned animation object, then its animation panel may be shown to change the current time of this listener.

If this project has an animation object assigned in its constructor or init() method, then the animation panel is shown when the project's start() method is invoked during loading of the project.

Only one animation object may be assigned to this listener. Subsequent assignments will replace the previous assignment.

Specified by:

setAnimation in interface PsTimeListenerIf

See Also:

getAnimation(), hasAnimation()

setTime

public boolean setTime(PsTimeEvent time)

Empty method, must be overwritten by subclasses to update dynamic object.

Specified by:

setTime in interface PsTimeListenerIf

fitDisplays

public void fitDisplays()

Scale the current camera in all displays such that geometry fills the display.

setDisplay

public void setDisplay(PvDisplayIf disp)

Register display in this project, add all geometries of project to the display, and register this project as pick listener in the display. The selected geometry of project will become the selected geometry in the display.

Note, the automatic registrations can be avoided using alternatively the method addDisplay(PvDisplayIf) be called.

See Also:

addDisplay(PvDisplayIf)

getDisplay

public PvDisplayIf getDisplay()

Get currently selected display. Geometries, which are added to a project, are automatically added to the currently selected display.

See Also:

selectDisplay(PvDisplayIf)

selectDisplay

public boolean selectDisplay(PvDisplayIf disp)

Select a display to become the default display to which geometries are added. The selected display should be the main display of a project, and usually does not change during a program run. The selected display of a project does not change when the window focus is changed interactively - these are two different concepts.

For example, method is called from PvViewer when display exists and project is selected, or when default display is requested from PvViewer from somewhere else.

See Also:

setDisplay(PvDisplayIf)

addDisplay

public boolean addDisplay(PvDisplayIf display)

Register a new display, e.g. to be deleted when project is removed.

Note: this project is not registered as pick listener in display neither are any geometries automatically registered in display. This registration must all be done by hand, or alternatively the method setDisplay(PvDisplayIf) be called.

Returns:

false if instance already registered.

See Also:

setDisplay(PvDisplayIf), getDisplays(), removeDisplay(PvDisplayIf)

getDisplays

public java.util.Enumeration getDisplays()

Returns:

true if display is registered.

See Also:

addDisplay(PvDisplayIf), getDisplays()

removeDisplay

Remove a display from the list of registered displays. Geometries of this project, which are registered in the display, will remain registered in the display.

Parameters:

display - display to be removed

Returns:

false if display is not registered, or is null.
