The Selection View is a standard Simantics view, which shows tabbed views about the current workbench selection.

Basic implementation

Selection view displays content for the workbench selection, which is produced by the active workbench part. The main implementation of the Selection View is also contributed by the active workbench part.

The implementation class is org.simantics.browsing.ui.swt.IPropertyPage (needs refactoring).

The standard implementation is org.simantics.views.swt.StandardPropertyPage (needs refactoring).

Selection processing

StandardPropertyPage uses org.simantics.browsing.ui.SelectionProcessor for computing an ordered set of tabs from the given workbench selection. The tabs are implementations of org.simantics.browsing.ui.swt.ComparableTabContributor.

A modelled implementation of the SelectionProcessor interface is org.simantics.views.swt.StandardSelectionProcessor.

StandardSelectionProcessor seeks all instances of http://www.simantics.org/Views-1.0/TabContribution and adapts them to org.simantics.views.swt.TabContribution.

StandardSelectionProcessor seeks all instances of http://www.simantics.org/Views-1.0/SelectionTransformation (which are also L0X.Function) and applies them to obtain a set of inputs, which is then feed to all TabContributions.
