Hi Bogdan,
It would be wise to state clearly in the contract for the
NotationName.setNotationOffset(int offset) method that the value should be
frozen, once set. Maybe you can even implement this by refusing any change
once the value was already set to a non-zero value.
This will reduce the problem of changing offsets to notation language
changes.
With the Dialog font 16 points, the toggling in Java notation for a
"protected void newOperation()" still works in the space after the void, so
the area is a bit wide. This may obscure the normal editing mode for
double-clicking - which is bad.
In fact, wherever you double-click on "final int newAttr", the visibility is
toggled, and you do not enter editing mode.
Maybe you can detect double-clicking and not toggle visibility, but go to
edit mode?
I still think that this feature needs some visual indication to be usefull -
there are too many hidden features already in ArgoUML.
Why not create a toolbelt-button (selection action button) instead?
I mean a button that appears at the left hand side of the text when the text
is selected, and the mouse is hovering over the fig.
I do not understand your question: "Where should I put the code to set this
offset in order to execute it every time the notation changes, ..."
Since you do this in FigOperation, it seems to be working:
int offset =
ProjectManager.getManager().getCurrentProject().getProjectSettings().getNotationName().getNotationOffset();
The value is taken from the NotationName every time...
BTW: You should shorten ProjectManager.getManager().getCurrentProject() to
"getProject()", to prevent dependency on the kernel.
Regards,
Michiel

Subject: [argouml-dev] RFH - Notation
Hello all,
I've searched high and low on how to do this but I can't seem to find the
solution.
For feature 3 - Class modification on the panel
(http://argouml.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5140), I need a width in
pixels in which if the user clicks, the visibility of the
attribute/operation will be changed. In order to do this the cleanest way,
every notation type should set this offset in function of the way it
displays visibility (UML uses signs +/-/#/~, while Java user words
public/private/protected/package... and so on).
So what I need is, when the user changes the notation, the new active
notation should set this offset via the NotationName.setNotationOffset(int
offset) method. Here the offset is expressed in number of letters (the job
converting this in pixels is OK). Where should I put the code to set this
offset in order to execute it every time the notation changes, and from
the selected notation ('from' here means that the notation changes this
offset, and it's not an if-else if-else in an action or smtg). I hope I
explained well enough to be understood.
Regards,
Bogdan, at wits end
