That way, we can trivially support PropertyList/XML files, but also views that are specified directly, as part of a sub-tree (e.g. for the CanvasView element). | That way, we can trivially support PropertyList/XML files, but also views that are specified directly, as part of a sub-tree (e.g. for the CanvasView element), as long as those are using the same format internally (which makes sense). | ||
The low-level implementation would expect a corresponding SGPropertyNode structure, a higher level fgcommand could then provide an "option" or a "mode" to either specify an XML file on disk, or a property tree branch that already contains the required nodes. That way, the back-end would look the same, and we would only need to call readProperties() first whenever people want to use a file-based view declaration. | |||
Besides, this means that '''any''' UI/frontend can invoke the corresponding back-end code easily: | Besides, this means that '''any''' UI/frontend can invoke the corresponding back-end code easily: | ||
