Item Link

) node to customize a context menu or toolbar of the physics interface. This node can be used to define a link to a locally defined menu under (selecting ); to a built-in Java maker (selecting ); or to an external resource (selecting ). For the built-in link, you can control the action by implementing the context action interface.

Right-click a Menu, Context Menu, or Toolbar node to add an node.

The window includes the following section:

From the list, select (the default), , or .

Use this option to define a link to a locally defined menu under , which you select from the list. Click the button (

) to display a quick menu where you can select a source to add in to the list and use it as the current reference. A dialog box will appear and ask for confirmation if there is already a reference exist in the list. Click the button

to move to the referenced node in the list. Parameters appear that have been defined in the locally defined menu node, and you can edit their expressions in the column under unless they have been defined as read only.

Use this option to define a link to a built-in Java maker. From the list, select or any other available package. Then select a link from the list (which by default is set to ). When you have selected an active link, you can also enter an icon file and a title in the field and field, respectively. You can use this option to link from a Physics Builder maker to a Java maker. With a Java maker, you can have more control than with the Physics Builder maker.

Use this option to define a link from an external resource, which you import from a file that you specify from the list. The list contains all nodes under . It is used by all link nodes in the Physics Builder, so the user interface is the same for all of them. Then select a menu or menu item from the list. Parameters appear that have been defined in the externally defined menu node, and you can edit their expressions in the column under unless they have been defined as read only.
