Effectopedia CS-Help

Major update of the Pathway Editor drawing modes

The single element pathway modes have been redesigned to show temporary image of the element which is going to be added/modified if the user clicks on the current position. Using this approach it is always evident what will happen, however there are two drawbacks of the implementation - 1) currently the inserting of the new object is not smooth and cause jittering effect 2) when the final intended change is made there is no elegant exit of the mode (currently escape key or right click cancel). Element wizard mode (previously known as CLET) now inserts links between the elements automatically so the user can only chose the location of the elements that have coordinates. In all new implementations the most recently added element is automatically loaded in the element editor.

Recently added context sensitive pop up menu has been updated. If the cursor is over an object relevant type conversions of the object is now available as option. Deletion and hiding of the current object under the cursor or entire selection is also available in the menu. Right click on temporary object now allows the current element placement mode to be terminated.

Welcome screen was updated and now instead of list of links includes four large buttons allowing quick access to four major actions available in Effectopedia. Some changes to GUInitialization were also introduced to accommodate the new types of links.

PathwayVisualisationBuilder.replaceInView() was updated and now also assigns the coordinates of the newElement if instanceof DocumentedKnowledge_Located

Initial update of the context sensitive help to cover the interface changes on the Welcome page.

Pathway editor interface buttons were updated and now include "+" symbol in front of each pathway element (signifying that the button is for adding elements). CLET icon was substituted with a Wizard icon and different Pathway Wizards are now available in one drop down button.

Three AOPS were imported form AOP-Wiki 18,51,64 and merged in a single file. The merge operation was done manually in the source code.

PathwaySourceCodeGenerator now provides additional constructor with parameter for auto saving (the default constructor sets this parameter to true). The generated source now also contains (as comments) the Identifiers of the generated object.

BugFix: Coordinates are now assigned by setAll only if the number of coordinates in the current object is the same as the one provided by the parameter.

BugFix: Coordinates of Test_InSilico default object were not assigned with the updated DEFAULT_CONTEXT

BugFix: PathwaySourceCodeGenerator was modified to work with also with MemoryDS (do no longer assumes that the dataSource is RevisionBasedDS)

BugFix: Replace in view now removes the old element from the list of visualized elements

Most of the user interface components were updated to provide context for the help system. The RootHelpContex component generates the helpID including all component names form the root to the sub component which is currently generating mouse motion events. This allows combining the context of the currently focused item with global context defined from the other components with the same root. This architecture requires each component to add MouseMotionListener with root component as a handler.

Context sensitive help was defined for the address bar components.
