Class AbstractWelcomePart

java.lang.Object
com.amalgamasimulation.desktop.appelements.parts.AbstractWelcomePart
public abstract class AbstractWelcomePart extends Object
Base part for the welcome page of an application. The part draws its content in an SWT2DAnimationView that fills the part. A subclass defines the content in createContent with WelcomeContent: an image and sections with text, links and lists of recent files. The part builds the content again on the NEW_SCENARIO, NEW_STUDY_LOADED and NEW_STUDY_SAVED messages from PlatformTopics.
