[protege-discussion] [POSSIBLE VIRUS:###] Re: Help for Protege API - display Superclass information

[Timothy Redmond]

So I first want to mention the default way that this is done.  Generally 
all views in Protege respond to the current selection.  This allows all 
the views to synchronize what they are displaying at the same time.  In 
this model, you would simply create a tab as described in [1] and 
include the class description view in your tab.

However you may have a situation where you need a graphical component as 
you describe but that this component must display something other than 
the current selection.  You can do this also.  What you want is an 
OWLFrameList that holds a frame.  In particular the Frame that you want 
to display is OWLClassDescriptionFrame.  You can create the frame with 
the code:

		OWLClassDescriptionFrame frame = new OWLClassDescriptionFrame(getOWLEditorKit());
		list = new OWLFrameList<OWLClass>(getOWLEditorKit(), frame);


The list variable is then a swing component that you can add to other 
swing components.  You can then change the object that the frame 
displays by calling

    list.setRootObject(owlClass);


There is some additional cursory information about Frames and Frame 
lists at [2].  If you look at the TestView class in the attached zip 
file you will see an example of view that displays a random class from 
the ontology whenever the selected class is changed.
