SYNOPSIS

#include <Unidraw/Tools/grcomptool.h>

DESCRIPTION

A GraphicCompTool lets the user instantiate graphical components by direct manipulation. The GraphicCompTool keeps a prototypical component that defines the type of component it can instantiate.

PUBLIC OPERATIONS

GraphicCompTool(ControlInfo*, GraphicComp* prototype)

GraphicCompTool()

virtual Manipulator* CreateManipulator(

Viewer*, Event&, Transformer*

)

virtual void InterpretManipulator(Manipulator*)

CreateManipulator clears the editor's selection and delegates manipulator creation and interpretation to the graphical view of the prototype.

GraphicComp* GetPrototype()

Return the prototypical GraphicComp.
