Constructor Detail

MetaOmGraph

public MetaOmGraph()

Method Detail

getActiveProject

public static MetaOmProject getActiveProject()

Fetches the active MetaOmProject.

Returns:

The open MetaOmProject, or null if there is no open project.

init

public static void init()

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

getMainWindow

public static javax.swing.JFrame getMainWindow()

Fetches the main JFrame used by this program

Returns:

the program's main JFrame

getDesktop

public static javax.swing.JDesktopPane getDesktop()

Fetches the desktop used in the main JFrame.

Returns:

The main desktop

promptToSave

public static boolean promptToSave()

Prompts the user to save the active project. Doesn't check to see if there IS an active project or not, though. If the user hasn't yet saved the project and elects to do so here, a Save As dialog will appear.

Returns:

false if the user closes or cancels the dialog, true otherwise.

addRecentProject

public static void addRecentProject(java.io.File projectFile)

openProject

public static boolean openProject(MetaOmProject myProject)

closeProject

public static boolean closeProject()

Closes the active project. If there are unsaved changes to the active project, the user is prompted to save them. If the user cancels the save prompt, this returns false and does nothing. Otherwise, it closes the project, removes any open JInternalFrames, and disables the appropriate menu items.

Returns:

false if the user canceled the save prompt, true otherwise

getIconImage

public static java.awt.Image getIconImage()

Fetches the MetaOmGraph icon as an Image.

Returns:

an Image of the MetaOmGraph icon

getHelpListener

public static MetaOmHelpListener getHelpListener()

Fetches the ActionListener used to display a Help frame.

Returns:

the ActionListener used to dispaly a Help frame

getModalMaker

public static SimpleModalMaker getModalMaker()

Fetches the WindowListener used to make a frame/dialog modal, but still be able to access the Help frame. Normally, when a dialog is modal, it completely blocks the current process, thus disabling access to all frames/dialogs besides the modal dialog and its children. By applying this listener to a frame or dialog, when that frame/dialog is visible, it will disable only the main MetaOmGraph window, thus allowing the user to still access other frames.

Returns:

a WindowListener that, when applied to a frame or dialog, will disable the main MetaOmGraph window when the frame/dialog is visible

getActiveTable

public static MetaOmTablePanel getActiveTable()

Fetches the MetaOmTablePanel for the active project.

Returns:

the MetaOmTablePanel for the active project

tableToFront

public static void tableToFront()

actionPerformed

public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e)

ActionListener for the MetaOmGraph window's menu items.

Specified by:

actionPerformed in interface java.awt.event.ActionListener

getFilteredColumns

public static int[] getFilteredColumns(java.lang.String[] columnHeaders)

refreshCharts

public static void refreshCharts()
