Re: [OpenMap Users] AnimationTester Plugin in ver. 4.6

Hi Steve,

You might want to take a look at the code for the
com.bbn.openmap.gui.BasicMapPanel, which uses the java.awt.BorderLayout
object to place components within a JPanel.

Just to help out with the terminology, you aren't really connecting to
a java map server, per se. The OpenMap MapBean is a
javax.swing.JContainer, which is a java.awt.Component, the point being
that OpenMap components are just Java components that should obey the
standard layout controls that all Java GUI components follow. So, you
can add your buttons to the BasicMapPanel using some
com.bbn.openmap.gui.Tool that holds your buttons and places them in the
ToolPanel of the BasicMapPanel, or you can just add a
MapBean/BasicMapPanel to your layout.

Hope this helps,

Don
