Adding Tools to HIPE

The system generates a default input dialog for all registered tasks within the software. As the system does not know the intent of your task, it can only provide a dry-listing of all requested parameters; such a dialog may not be suitable for your purposes.

The default dialog for the crop task:

Changed:

As for instance you may want to have more control over how the input parameters are presented to the user:

you may only want to provide a sub-set of parameters (and leave the full-set to expert users on the command-line)

Line: 130 to 130

A new default dialog layout has been implemented following the request of the DPUG: It puts two parameters per line: lines are filled left to right, and then top to bottom. If you only have 1 input (or output) it will fill the whole line. Modifiers implementors should take care that the preferred size of their modifier is smaller (about 20 chars max).

Changed:

<
< Provided modifiers have been updated but some modifiers are too wide for this layout (ex. AngleModifier, can have 3 texts and 1 combo in a line).

The default dialog for the crop task, with all sections opened:

To adapt to these scenarios and more, the system provides three ways for customizing you Task dialogs:

Parameter Modifiers

Line: 144 to 147

The system provides a default dialog displaying an input area for setting the values of the parameter based on a composition of Modifiers

The input area for the crop task:

The composition of Modifiers

is created based on the types of the values of the Task Parameters of the Task Signature.

The Modifier for the row1 Parameter of the crop task:

Currently the system contains basic implementation for the simple types Boolean, Integer, Float, Long, Double, String and few more, so there's still a lot of space for improvements and contribution. You can find the general available modifiers in package herschel.ia.gui.apps.modifier; please consult the Javadoc of your HIPE installation.

Line: 221 to 224

In case the default input area based on Modifiers doesn't fit your needs you can just replace it by your own implementation.

If this is the case you need to:

Implement a Task Signature Component
Register it to the system.

NOTE:
You no longer need a signature component to choose your own modifiers for your task (and link them with events ...): Task has a new function

public Map<String, Modifier> getCustomModifiers()

where you can do just that, see above "Register a Modifier".
Conventions for labels for input parameters: (see DM). The static function

 public static JLabel getDecoratedLabel(TaskParameter tp, boolean isPrimeInput, String altName)

provides a decorated label (including tooltip) that follows the standard style. For the function to work properly your task parameters should be fully configured (for example, the parameter description will be the tooltip of the label)

If some other function needs to be made public so that tasks can follow the default style, they will be added above.
