public class TemplateControl
extends GridDisplayControl

A class that serves as a template for creating new (Grid oriented) display controls Cut and paste this. The methods that you need to overwrite are init and doMakeContents You will also need to add an entry into the /ucar/unidata/idv/controls.properties file so the IDV knows about this display control.

dataChoice - selected data choice

Returns:

true if successful

Throws:

RemoteException - Java RMI error

VisADException - VisAD Error

setData

protected boolean setData(DataChoice choice)

                          RemoteException

The setData method is called when the user has selected a different DataChoice for this control. Calling super.setData does the doMakeDataInstance call.

Overrides:

setData in class DisplayControlImpl

Parameters:

choice - choice for data

Returns:

true if successful

Throws:

RemoteException - Java RMI error

VisADException - VisAD Error

doMakeContents

protected Container doMakeContents()
                            throws VisADException,
