All Implemented Interfaces:

PickMapper

public class UnityManager

extends IdManager

Manages the membership of graphic views in "unity groups" to achieve consistent interaction feedback across views. The members of a unity group represent different views of the same client data, as define by the data model client ID. For example, a given vertex selected in a 2D graph view should also appear selected in its 3D graph view.

The graphic views registered with this manager are assigned to mutually exclusive interactor groups according to their client ID. A pick mapper maps input picks to output unity groups accordingly. Thus, picking a target interactor (graphic view) effectively picks all the graphic views associated with the target's client ID. As such, this manager should be used at the head of the picking chain.
