jDraw tool - TANGO Controls

# 8 years ago
Binit	Hello, I never used TANGO jDraw tool before and I want to develop an GUI using that. I am using ATK Swing parameter to make my application but when i am trying to generate "JAVA Code Generator" from view menu I am getting an error like "error during java code generation. No such file or directory available". Someone can help me please. Thank you.

Jean-Luc	Hello, The "Java code generation" tools from JDraw can be used if you want to produce a standalone java code which not use Tango ATK to draw a synoptic but not all object types are supported. The usual way to display a Tango synoptic is to use the SynopticAppli. `java -DTANGO_HOST=your_tango_host fr.esrf.tangoatk.widget.jdraw.SimpleSynopticAppli synoptic_filename` Or if you want to integrate a synoptic within a java application, you can use the TangoSynopticHandler ATK component. import fr.esrf.tangoatk.widget.jdraw.TangoSynopticHandler; import fr.esrf.tangoatk.widget.util.*; ErrorHistory errWin = new ErrorHistory(); //.. JPanel myPanel = new JPanel(); myPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); TangoSynopticHandler tangoSynoptic = new TangoSynopticHandler(); tangoSynoptic.setErrorHistoryWindow(myErrWin); try { tangoSynoptic.setSynopticFileName(jdwFileName); } catch (Exception e) { JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Failed to load the synoptic\n"+e.getMessage()); } myPanel.add(tangoSynoptic,BorderLayout.CENTER); //.. // Example function to display the error history public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { Object src = e.getSource(); if (src == viewErrorMenuItem) { ATKGraphicsUtils.centerFrameOnScreen(errWin); errWin.setVisible(true); } } Hope this helps… Edited 8 years ago

Hello,

The "Java code generation" tools from JDraw can be used if you want to produce a standalone java code which not use Tango ATK to draw a synoptic but not all object types are supported.

The usual way to display a Tango synoptic is to use the SynopticAppli.


java -DTANGO_HOST=your_tango_host fr.esrf.tangoatk.widget.jdraw.SimpleSynopticAppli synoptic_filename

Or if you want to integrate a synoptic within a java application, you can use the TangoSynopticHandler ATK component.



import fr.esrf.tangoatk.widget.jdraw.TangoSynopticHandler;
import fr.esrf.tangoatk.widget.util.*;

  ErrorHistory errWin = new ErrorHistory();

  //..

  JPanel myPanel = new JPanel();
  myPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

  TangoSynopticHandler tangoSynoptic = new TangoSynopticHandler();
  tangoSynoptic.setErrorHistoryWindow(myErrWin);
  try {
    tangoSynoptic.setSynopticFileName(jdwFileName);
  } catch (Exception e) {
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Failed to load the synoptic\n"+e.getMessage());
  }
  myPanel.add(tangoSynoptic,BorderLayout.CENTER);

  //..

  // Example function to display the error history
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    Object src = e.getSource();
    if (src == viewErrorMenuItem) {
      ATKGraphicsUtils.centerFrameOnScreen(errWin);
      errWin.setVisible(true);
    }
  }

Hope this helps…
