Method Detail

print

void print(UI.Module m,
           UI.PrintLevel level,
           java.lang.String s)
Displays some information to the user from the specified module with the specified print level. A user interface is free to show or ignore any message. Level filtering is done in the core and shouldn't be re-implemented by the user interface. All messages will be short enough to fit on one line.

Parameters:
m - module the message came from
level - seriousness of the message
s - string to display

taskStart

void taskStart(java.lang.String s,
               int min,
               int max)
Prepare a progress bar representing a lengthy task. The actual progress is first shown by the call to update and closed when update is closed with the max value. It is currently not possible to nest calls to setTask, so only one task needs to be tracked at a time.

Parameters:
s - desriptive string
min - minimum value of the task
max - maximum value of the task

taskUpdate

void taskUpdate(int current)
Updates the current progress bar to a value between the current min and max. When min or max are passed the progressed bar is shown or hidden respectively.

Parameters:
current - current value of the task in progress.

taskStop

void taskStop()
Closes the current progress bar to indicate the task is over
