Method Detail

setParent

void setParent(TableauFrame frame)

PreferencesTab usually will need access to the configuration of the Tableau that is opened in the BasicGraphFrame. This method will be called before calling initializeTab.

Parameters:

config -

initializeTab

void initializeTab()
            throws java.lang.Exception

Initialization of the tab should be done at some point after the constructor is called. The setConfiguration method is called before calling initializeTab() and this allows for easily adding new functions to this interface later on.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

getTabName

java.lang.String getTabName()

This method should return the name of the tab which is used to label the tab in the PreferencesFrame.

onClose

void onClose()

This method is called as the preferences frame is closed legitimately meaning that all changes to the preferences should be saved.

onCancel

void onCancel()

This method is called if the user presses the cancel button on the preferences frame. In this case all changes to the preferences should be ignored.
