Inherited properties
| Name | Type | Inherited from | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| description Accessor ReadOnly | string | InteractiveTool | Get the localized description string from this Tool's class |
| description Accessor StaticReadOnly | string | InteractiveTool | Get the localized description for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".description" from its registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). If that key is not in the localization namespace, InteractiveTool.flyover is returned. |
| englishKeyin Accessor StaticReadOnly | string | InteractiveTool | Get the English keyin string for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".keyin" from its registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). |
| flyover Accessor ReadOnly | string | InteractiveTool | Get the localized flyover string from this Tool's class |
| flyover Accessor StaticReadOnly | string | InteractiveTool | Get the localized flyover for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".flyover" from its registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). If that key is not in the localization namespace, InteractiveTool.keyin is returned. |
| hidden Static | boolean | InteractiveTool | If true, this Tool will not appear in the list from ToolRegistry.getToolList. |
| iconSpec Accessor ReadOnly | string | InteractiveTool | Get the iconSpec from this Tool's class. |
| iconSpec Static | string | InteractiveTool | The icon for this Tool. |
| isControlDown Accessor ReadOnly | boolean | InteractiveTool | Convenience method to check whether control key is currently down without needing a button event. |
| isDynamicsStarted Accessor ReadOnly | boolean | InteractiveTool | Call to find out if dynamics are currently active. |
| keyin Accessor ReadOnly | string | InteractiveTool | Get the localized keyin string from this Tool's class |
| keyin Accessor StaticReadOnly | string | InteractiveTool | Get the localized keyin string for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".keyin" from its registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). |
| maxArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly | undefined | number | InteractiveTool | The maximum number of arguments allowed by InteractiveTool.parseAndRun, or undefined if there is no maximum. If subclasses override InteractiveTool.parseAndRun, they should also override this method to indicate the maximum number of arguments their implementation expects. |
| minArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly | number | InteractiveTool | The minimum number of arguments allowed by InteractiveTool.parseAndRun. If subclasses override InteractiveTool.parseAndRun, they should also override this method to indicate the minimum number of arguments their implementation expects. UI controls can use this information to ensure the tool has enough information to execute. |
| namespace Static | string | InteractiveTool | The namespace that provides localized strings for this Tool. |
| receivedDownEvent | boolean | InteractiveTool | Used to avoid sending tools up events for which they did not receive the down event. |
| toolId Accessor ReadOnly | string | InteractiveTool | Get the toolId string for this Tool class. This string is used to identify the Tool in the ToolRegistry and is used to localize the keyin, description, etc. from the current locale. |
| toolId Static | string | InteractiveTool | The unique string that identifies this tool. |
