This extension registers the Shapefile type to the

ShapefileResource (and the .shp file extension).

Another example from Drawing's plugin.xml:

This code adds the Weather Symbol tool to the toolbar as the

Thunderstorm tool. Note the “:17” at the end. This

corresponds to the 17.svg in basemaps.

<action class="com.raytheon.viz.drawing.WeatherSymbolTool" icon="icons/thunderstorm.gif" id="com.raytheon.viz.drawing.WeatherSymbolTool:17" label="Thunderstorm" state="false" style="radio" toolbarPath="drawing/g1" tooltip="Thunderstorm"/>

Plug-In XML

• Exercise: Add an entry to plugin xml to add another symbol.– Modify plugin.xml by adding another <action> block (copy the

thunderstorm block).

– Point to testSymbol.svg and testSymbol.gif instead of 17.svg and

17.gif.

– Give it a meaningful label and tooltip.

Creating a Custom Imaging Resource

• Based on some of the capabilities we've experimented with

in CAVE, we'll add a new item to the “Add Layer” menu

containing our GeoTIFF resource, with custom brightness

and contrast settings.

• Verify that your resource shows up in the “Add Layer” menu in the

Other Data section sub-menu.
