Method Detail

getComponent

java.awt.Component getComponent()

Returns the parameter panel component. This can be the object implementing this interface, in which case simply return this.

Returns:

the parameter panel component

getParameters

void getParameters(java.util.Properties params)

Returns the plugin parameters. These can be stored parameters if the panel is not showing, but should be the currently visible parameter settings if the component is showing.

Parameters:

params - is the properties object to be filled with the plugin parameters

getStoredParameters

void getStoredParameters(java.util.Properties params)

Returns the stored parameters. All parameter items are included (also disabled).

Parameters:

params - is the properties object to be filled with the plugin parameters

saveParameters

void saveParameters()

Saves parameters from parameter panel. Should store the current settings in order to restore them later in reloadParameters(). (Called when "OK" is pressed: GUI -> INNER STORE)

reloadParameters

void reloadParameters()

Reloads previously stored parameters to parameter panel. (Called when "Cancel" is pressed: INNER STORE -> GUI)

restoreDefaultParameters

void restoreDefaultParameters()

Restores default parameters to parameter panel. (Called when "Restore Defaults" is pressed: DEFAULTS -> GUI)

verifyParameters

boolean verifyParameters()

Verifies parameters on the parameter panel.

Returns:

true if parameter setting is accepted, false otherwise

isOkActionEnabled
