SubLayers

greenavenger · 06-12-2009, 08:50 PM

Maybe there is already something like this but I would like layers to have the ability to have sublayers. I have a display that shows layers in a JTree view and you can turn on/off a group of layers by selecting/deselecting a parent node. It's nice to be able to group certain layers but still have the ability to turn on/off individual layers.

hi!

I have also written something like this for me, but currently the code is realy ugly!!
I have also an other application for this: I have objects which are currently rendered into two layers, one IconLayer, and one SurfaceShapeLayer, It would be cool to group them somehow togeter... maybe there could be a layer type "MasterLayer" where you can throw other layers into it, and ask it for his childrens (public Layer getSublayers() ).
if this layer is disabled, also each of his sublayers is disabled...

the render, picking, ... stuff could also be delegagted to the sublayers if it is enabled.....
shouldnt be soo difficoult to build something like this?

thx

thx
