Adding Tools to a Dataview Toolbar

You can add functionality to a Dataview toolbar by adding tools to it. Each tool that you add must implement the oracle.dss.dataView.DataviewTool interface.

For example, in a graph toolbar, you might create a line color tool, which changes the color of a graph component that implements the oracle.dss.graph.Line interface. The line color tool must implement the DataviewTool interface.

To add the new tool to the toolbar, you call the add method of the toolbar, as shown in the following line of code. This code assumes a graph toolbar that is named toolbar, as shown in Incorporating a Toolbar in a Java-Client Dataview.


Component lineColorTool = new LineColorTool(); toolbar.add(lineColorTool);
