32 Chapter 2: iTool System Architecture
iTool Object Hierarchy iTool Developers Guide
/TOOLS
This container holds references to all active iTools.
/CLIPBOARD
This container holds items that are on the local system clipboard.
/REGISTRY
This container holds object descriptors for the iTool object classes that are registered
with the system object. Individual iTools, Visualization types, and User Interface
types can all be registered with the system object; other iTool object types are
registered only with the individual iTool to which they belong. Objects that are
registered with the system object are available for use in the IDL MAIN execution
context — that is, these objects are available at the IDL command line.
/REGISTRY/TOOLS
This container holds the object descriptors for the individual iTools available in the
system. All iTools must be registered with the system object.
/REGISTRY/VISUALIZATIONS
This container holds the object descriptors for the visualization types registered with
the system object. Visualization types that are registered with the system object are
available to all iTools, and thus allow users to create visualizations via the
OVERPLOT keyword to an iTool launch routine even in cases where the appropriate
visualization type is not registered with the current iTool. Registered visualizations
types are displayed in a list in the iTool Insert Visualization dialog. See Chapter 6,
“Creating a Visualization for more on visualization types.
/REGISTRY/WIDGET INTERFACE
This container holds a list of available user interface routines that are available to the
system. In the initial release of the iTool system, only one user interface exists. By
providing the capability to choose from a list of interfaces, however, different
interfaces can easily be “plugged in” to the iTool framework in the future.
/DATA MANAGER
This container holds the data objects that have been imported into or created by the
iTool system. Since the data manager container is system-scoped, all data in the
system is available to all iTools.
