Detailed Description

Dialog for creating and changing representations for a selection of molecular objects.

It can create a new Representation for a selection of Composite 's from the MolecularControl. If a Representation is selected in the GeometricControl, it can be modified with this dialog. With the help of various combo boxes it is possible to customize the look of the graphical visualization (the model, the drawing precision, the drawing mode, the coloring method and the custom color). For information about the drawing precision see Representation.
If this dialog is used, it should be created with MainControl as parent.
If you want to add a new coloring method or type of Representation, have a look at VIEW/KERNEL/common.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::DisplayProperties	(	QWidget *	parent = `NULL`,
		const char *	name = `"DisplayProperties"`
	)

Default Constructor.

Calls ModularWidget::registerWidget.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::apply ( ) [virtual, slot]

Indicates the apply button was pressed.

Applies the selected model with its selected properties to the selected Composite objects or modifies an existing Representation. A SceneMessage will be sent to inform the Scene. A RepresentationMessage notifies the GeometricControl.

void BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::applyPreferences ( ) [virtual]

Apply the preferences of the specific tab.

In this method the widget can extract any changed values from its preferences tab (if required). This method is called automatically by the applyPreferencesTab from the MainControl object if the apply button in the Preferences dialog is pressed.

Parameters:

preferences

the Preferences dialog of the MainControl

See also:

initializePreferencesTab

finalizePreferencesTab

applyPreferencesTab

Reimplemented from BALL::VIEW::ModularWidget.

virtual void BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::checkMenu ( MainControl & main_control ) [virtual]

Menu checking method.

This method is called by MainControl::checkMenus before a popup menu is shown. The menu entry Display Properties will be checked if this dialog is visible.

Parameters:

main_control

the MainControl object whose menus should be checked

Reimplemented from BALL::VIEW::ModularWidget.

void BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::editColor ( ) [slot]

Opens the dialog for editing the custom color.

Opens a QColorDialog from the QT-library.

void BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::editSelectionColor ( ) [slot]

Opens the color dialog for the color of selected items.

See also:: BALL_SELECTED_COLOR

virtual void BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::initializeWidget ( MainControl & main_control ) [virtual]

ModularWidget methods.

Initialize the popup menu Display with the entry Display Properties, which opens the dialog. This method is called automatically immediately before the main application is started by MainControl::show()

Parameters:

main_control

the MainControl object to be initialized

Reimplemented from BALL::VIEW::ModularWidget.

virtual void BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::onNotify ( Message * message ) [virtual]

Message handling method.

Handles messages sent by other registered ConnectionObject objects. If a CompositeMessage with type NEW_MOLECULE is catched, the chosen graphical visualization will be applied to the Composite object and the follwing Message objects will be sent through the ConnectionObject tree:

CompositeMessage with type CENTER_CAMERA
RepresentationMessage with type NEW

Parameters:

message the pointer to the message that should be processed

Reimplemented from BALL::VIEW::ConnectionObject.

void BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::selectColoringMethod ( int index ) [slot]

Changes the coloring method.

This slot is connected to the coloring method combo box and will be automatically called if the content of this combo box is changed.

Parameters:

index

the position of the entry in the combobox

void BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::selectMode ( int index ) [slot]

Changes the drawing mode.

This slot is connected to the mode combo box and will be automatically called if the content of this combo box is changed.

Parameters:

index

the position of the entry in the combobox

void BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::selectModel ( int index ) [slot]

Changes the model.

This slot is connected to the model combo box and will be automatically called if the content of this combo box is changed.

Parameters:

index

the position of the entry in the combobox

void BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::show ( ) [slot]

Starts the dialog.

Calls QDialog::raise().
