Chapter 7: Creating an Operation 183
iTool Developer’s Guide Registering an Operation
ICON
A string value giving the name of an icon to be associated with this object. Typically,
this property is the name of a bitmap file to be used when displaying the object in a
tree view. See “Icon Bitmaps” on page 44 for details on where bitmap icon files are
located.
IDENTIFIER
A string that will be used as the identifier of the object. Identifier strings specify
where within an iTool’s object hierarchy an object is located; this, in turn, may affect
whether and where the object is revealed in the iTool’s graphical user interface. For
example, to display a menu item for an operation named
'MyOperation' in the
iTool Operations menu, you would specify the identifier string
'Operations/MyOperation'. See “iTool Object Identifiers” (Chapter 2, iTool
Developer’s Guide) for details about how identifiers are named.
If this property is not specified, then the value of the OperationName argument is
used as the identifier.
REVERSIBLE_OPERATION
A boolean value that indicates whether the operation is reversible. When an operation
is reversible, it can be undone by applying an operation rather than restoring a stored
value. Rotation by a specified angle is an example of an operation that is reversible,
since applying another rotation by the same angle in the opposite direction returns the
visualization to its original state. Individual operations should use the value of this
property to determine how the operation should be undone.
SHOW_EXECUTION_UI
A boolean value that indicates whether the operation should display a user interface
element such as a dialog when the operation is executed.
TYPES
A string or an array of strings indicating the types of data to which the operation can
be applied. iTools data types are described in Chapter 3, “Data Management”. Set this
property to a null string (
'') to specify that the operation can be applied to all types
of data.
