  • Method Details

    • getCategory

      String getCategory()
      Returns the category for grouping (e.g., "Chemistry", "Physics"). Must be internationalized via I18N.
      Returns:
      the category name

    • getName

      String getName()
      Returns the display name of the viewer/demo. Must be internationalized via I18N.
      Returns:
      the display name

    • getDescription

      String getDescription()
      Returns a short description (1-2 lines). Must be internationalized via I18N.
      Returns:
      the short description

    • getLongDescription

      String getLongDescription()
      Returns a long description (multi-line, detailed explanation). Must be internationalized via I18N.
      Returns:
      the long description

    • show

      void show(javafx.stage.Stage stage)
      Launches the component in the given stage.
      Parameters:
      stage - the JavaFX stage to display the component

    • getViewerParameters

      List<Parameter<?>> getViewerParameters()
      Returns a list of parameters exposed by this viewer. Parameters allow external control and configuration.
      Returns:
      list of configurable parameters

    • setParameter

      default boolean setParameter(String parameterName, Object value)
      Sets a parameter value by name. This allows external control of viewer parameters (e.g., from a Demo).
      Parameters:
      parameterName - the parameter name/key
      value - the new value
      Returns:
      true if the parameter was found and set, false otherwise

    • getParameter

      default Parameter<?> getParameter(String parameterName)
      Gets a parameter by name.
      Parameters:
      parameterName - the parameter name/key
      Returns:
      the parameter, or null if not found
