Interactors for nested managers and graphers
All interactors that are part of the Rogue Wave JViews library and that work with individual graphic objects can work with objects embedded in a nested manager or grapher.
It is therefore possible to:
It is also possible to have object creation interactors and specific object interactors.
Creation interactors
The same interactors that allow you to create a graphic object interactively also allow you to create objects directly in a submanager.
Such interactors all follow the same scheme: when the interaction starts in a nested manager (the first mouse click), the created object is placed in this manager. This is the case for all subclasses of
IlvMakeRectangleInteractor and
IlvMakePolyPointsInteractor, which are the base classes for creating an object with a rectangular shape and a set of points respectively. It is also the case for the
IlvEditLabelInteractor which allows you to create labels.
Object interactors
Object interactors (instances of
IlvObjectInteractor) are objects that provide interaction for a specific graphic object. For details, see
Object interactors of The Essential
JViews Framework.
An object interactor that is set on a graphic object contained in a hierarchy of nested managers will still receive events coming from the view attached to a parent manager. There is no difference in writing an object interactor that can be used on such a graphic object.
