How to demo

Start the application show the layout, change the layout, stop the application, and then start it again. The new configuration must be preserved.

Design

• For general information of the design see the specification pages => Specification
• Status bar is not defined yet and is not clear what it will contain and how it will work. We will leave it for later revisions.
• Here is simple explanation of the main window of sophie2. We will briefly show how the window is constructed and what are its parts.
• Implementation details are provided by the following diagrams.
• The main window of sophie2 is represented by the AppView class. UML Diagram:

• It consists of left, right and bottom flaps, a books' desktop, a title bar and a menu bar.
  • Here is a hierarchy of the flaps in sophie2:

• Every flap is attachable and detachable. One can obtain this functionality by using the attach(...) and detach(...) methods.
• Every flap in sophie2 should extend the base flap class.
• One should override the attach and detach methods to have e flap of his own.
• One should also provide a method to add tabs to the flap. Typically the addChildren() method.

• Here is a diagram of the Book's desktop classes. These are the classes that combined construct the desktop.

• The JDesktopPane and JScrollPane are Swing classes we extend to add functionalities to serve out needs.
• The DockableDesktopScroll is a JScrollPane and a Dockable. This gives us the opportunity to add the BookDesktop to the main window.
• The DesktopPane is added to the DockableDesktopScroll and books are added in it.
  • One can add visual representations of books ( JInternalFrame ).
  • Books can be tiled and cascaded using the tileFrames() and cascadeFrames() methods.
  • Size of the BookDesktop is settable.
• DesktopManager class is a helper class for the DesktopPane to handle its desktop-like actions.

• The MenuBar class is responsible for the Menu Bar part of the Main Window. Here is its diagram:

• Its visual representation is created and items are added.
• Every item is represented by the MenuMember class. MenuMembers have tool-tips, icons, titles etc. Menus and MenuItems are also MenuMembers depending whether the members of the main menu are sub-menus or items.
• CheckBoxMenuItem is a menu item with a check box that provides selected() functionality.
