INTViewer for Plugin Developers - Customizing the Window Locator

Customizing the Window Locator

The window locator is the bar displayed at the bottom of 2D windows, showing the INLINE/XLINE/X/Y/Time coordinates of the cursor.

If you need to modify the behavior of a window locator for an existing window, you can implement your own locator class.

XSECTIONWINDOWLOCATOR.JAVA

package com.interactive.intviewer.view2d;

import com.interactive.intviewer.view2d.util.WindowLocator2DUtil;

import com.interactive.intviewerapi.IVisual;

import com.interactive.intviewerapi.windows.AbstractWindowLocator;

import java.util.Map;

public class XSectionWindowLocator extends AbstractWindowLocator {

    public XSectionWindowLocator() {

    @Override

    public String getHorizontalText(IVisual layer, Map<String, Double> pmap, int viewportX, int viewportY) {

        return "MyHorizontalText";

    @Override

    public String getVerticalText(IVisual layer, Map<String, Double> pmap, int viewportX, int viewportY) {

        return  "MyVerticalText";

    @Override

    public String getContextualText(IVisual visual, Map<String, Double> pmap, int viewportX, int viewportY) {

        return "MyContextualText";

The getContextualText method of the window locator class controls the string at the bottom of the contextual menu displayed when right-clicking in a window. This contextual string is shown in yellow in the snapshot below:
