Class HDFView

Object
hdf.view.HDFView
All Implemented Interfaces:
DataViewManager
public class HDFView extends Object implements DataViewManager
HDFView is the main class of this HDF visual tool. It is used to layout the graphical components of the hdfview. The major GUI components of the HDFView include Menubar, Toolbar, TreeView, ContentView, and MessageArea. The HDFView is designed in such a way that it does not have direct access to the HDF library. All the HDF library access is done through HDF objects. Therefore, the HDFView package depends on the object package but not the library package. The source code of the view package (hdf.view) should be compiled with the library package (hdf.hdflib and hdf.hdf5lib).
