Remove Embedded Scale Display?

[chun...@gmail.com]

The EmbeddedScaleDisplayPanel that gets injected into the map display by default doesn't render in screenshots.

So, I've added a ScaleDisplayLayer. Unfortunately, the EmbeddedScaleDisplayPanel is still there. In the picture below, the EmbeddedScaleDisplayPanel is showing 1000km. My ScaleDisplayLayer is showing 1500km.

No matter what I do, I cannot figure out how to remove the existing EmbeddedScaleDisplayPanel though.

I can *find* it using the maphandler:

EmbeddedScaleDisplayPanel esdp = mapHandler.get(EmbeddedScaleDisplayPanel.class);

Unfortunately, none of these things remove it:

mapHandler.remove(esdp); // Symmetric version of how I find it
openMapPanel.removeMapComponent(esdp); // Symmetric version of how it gets added
openMapPanel.findAndUndo(esdp); // A recursive find-and-destroy in the mappanel

So, what's the right way to purge it?

Cheers,

Gary

Hi Gary,

I’d extend the OverlayMapPanel and override the getComponentsFloatingOnMap(MapBean) method. You can make it return a JPanel configured with the components you want, and with the layout you want.

I remember taking a shot at trying to make an interface to control those widgets, but it was always kludgy.

Thanks for the nudge!

I took a step back and realised I'm not really using *any* of the features in OverlayMapPanel; none of my users are using the navigation widgets at the top-left, either.

So, I just switched to using a BasicMapPanel. Problem solved
