Re: [udig-devel] Modal tool deactivation

[Damjan Šavko]

Hello Jesse, I used your way of drawing to the ViewportPane (context.getViewportPane().repaint()) and now things are working corectly also in RC3 version. But now I need to ask you another thing. I want to draw a series of shapes without knowing the number apriori (like in a loop). How do I remove them then? Is there a way to tell the Viewport to remove all the DrawShapeCommands or do I have to keep all the pointers to those draw commands(in a Vector maybe) and remove them in a loop?

Thanks

HI 

Interesting.  That should still work.  I usually do the disabling slightly differently:

    rect =3D new Rectangle( e.x - 10, e.y -10, 10, 10);

            dsc =3D context.getDrawFactory().createDrawShapeCommand(rect,

java.awt.Color.GREEN, 1, 1);

            dsc.setShape(rect);

            dsc.setValid (true);  

            context.sendASyncCommand(dsc);

and

            dsc.setValid(false);

    context.getViewportPane().repaint();

I really can't see any reason this doesn't work since it is used by the zoom and all the edit tools.

OK Jesse. Would you happen to know if the problem with using the

DrawShapeCommand-s in RC2 is also a bug or did something change from M7 to

RC2?

From last mail:

Also I've noticed that my drawing tools are acting very strange. To draw on

the map I use the folowing commands:

rect =3D new Rectangle(e.x - 10, e.y -10, 10, 10);

            dsc =3D context.getDrawFactory().createDrawShapeCommand(rect,

java.awt.Color.GREEN, 1, 1);

            dsc.setShape(rect);

            dsc.setValid (true);

            context.sendASyncCommand(dsc);

and

            dsc.setValid(false);

            context.sendASyncCommand(dsc);

to erase.

Do you know what were the changes from uDigM7 to uDigRC2 that caused my

plugins to stop working?

OK, I've done some more testing and I think there is a bug in uDig-RC2.

After you select a modal tool, you cannot deselect it. It keeps on being

selected. The only way to deselect it is to choose another modal tool.

Hope it helps.

Bingo Jesse! That really did the trick. I would have never thought to

use the run() method inside a modal tool. I still don't know why that=

but I don't really care that much :)

Another thing: I can get the category ID by

ApplicationGIS.getToolManager().getActiveCategory().getId() but I

cannot do the same with tool ID. There is no

ApplicationGIS.getToolManager().getActiveTool().getId().

Anyway that's not such a big problem, it would've been just a bit mor=

e

elegant.

Thanks a lot!

Hi

The following snippet can be added to you setActiveMethod():

Display.getCurrent().asyncExec(new Runnable(){

        public void run(){

                ApplicationGIS.getToolManager().getTool(toolID).run=

();

        }

}

I haven't actually tested this situation so let me know how it goes=
