Doru, any chance of adding this to the API for browsers?
Not really :).
This breaks the encapsulation between panes, as in our model, panes
should only talk with each other via transmissions. Maybe there will
be another mechanism for this, but I first need to learn more about
when exactly this is needed and why it is not possible to do it via
an existing mechanism.
OK, then consider my case, AspectMaps (screenshot below for clarity).
- All the buttons make some change to the model that is being
displayed in the mondrian panel
- idem for some menu items on 'aspects in project' (e.g. changing the
color of a displayed aspect)
So for that I do my update trick. Can I do this cleanly with
transmissions? If so, how?
