Re: [ jEdit-devel ] HartMath "calculator plugin" started

[Slava P. <sl...@je...>]

Hi,

It looks good. I have the following minor UI suggestions:

- The single 'HartMath' dockable should be split into multiple dockable
  windows; 'HartMath Calculator', 'HartMath Functions' (maybe this one
  should be customizable and have more buttons?), 'HartMath Output' and
  'Periodic Table'. The two button palletes can obtain a hartmath output
  window instance using the addDockableWindow()/getDockableWindow()
  method calls.

- The window shown when an element is clicked in the periodic table (cool
  feature, BTW) should have little 'copy' buttons (give these buttons an
  icon) for copying them for use in HartMath evaluation.

- Maybe instead of a separate 'HartMath Output' window, you should implement
  a Console shell. I can add an API for shells to output Icons (which will
  allow MTAC prettyprinted output to be printed there).

- If you implement the above, clicking a button in one of the palletes
  should open a console dockable if necessary, set the shell to the HartMath
  shell, and add the text to the text field (obtainable with
  console.getTextField() in Console 3.0)

I see you've defected from Jext development to jEdit :-)
