Creating a Custom iTool Interface
Each of the standard iTools (such as the iPlot or iImage tools) have the same basic interface style. Beyond adding operations or manipulators, you can further modify the existing iTool interface by adding:
Beyond this, you also have the option of modifying the standard iTool interface. Standard iTools are constructed of a number of compound widgets designed to work explicitly within the iTool architecture. You can modify the standard iTool interface by creating a custom iTool-widget interface, a hybrid tool that combines traditional widget functionality and iTool compound widgets. This requires knowledge of widget programming, how to create an iTool, how to create a UI service, and how to use the iTool compound widgets. For more information on the previous topics, see the following sections in the iTool Programming:
