Hi all,
first of all: Thanks Doru for implementing the new features! They are very useful to me.
Below is a screenshot of the AspectMaps UI that is using these features. I have a bunch of questions related to this and I would be very grateful if you could help me out. The code of the UI is also below. Very big method, I know, but I did it this way to avoid ambiguities in this mail.
Questions: - How do I update the top mondrian panel using the new update mechanism? I want it to redraw itself completely when some of the buttons are pressed and on some of the menu actions of the aspects menu. - The last 2 columns specify the metrics used in the polymetric view. With a transmission I always get the last selections made, but I need to know all selections made in that column so I can print it in the selectionstatus text box. How is this possible? Also, if no selection at all is made I would like to show that in the box (now the box is removed). - The last 3 columns actually do not use any input, but I specify them with "transmit to: ; andShow:" Is there a cleaner way to do this?
The code is below:
