In the JAXFront Preferences, you can also edit the GUI actions, used for the rules. The GUI actions cause visual changes to the interface. For details see the section Actions Configuration.
Overview of the GUI-Actions
The implementation of a new GUI-Action occurs in two stages:
- Implementation of a new method within a Visualizer-class (for example, AbstractView). For more details, see the Programming Manual.
- Addition and description of the new method as a GUI-action in the JAXFront Preferences. See the following figure.
