oneShot boolean toolId Static string The unique string that identifies this tool. Inherited properties Name Type Inherited from Description description Accessor ReadOnly string ViewTool Get the localized description string from this Tool's class description Accessor StaticReadOnly string ViewTool Get the localized description for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".description" fromits registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). If that key is not in the localization namespace,ViewTool.flyover is returned. englishKeyin Accessor StaticReadOnly string ViewTool Get the English keyin string for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".keyin" fromits registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). flyover Accessor ReadOnly string ViewTool Get the localized flyover string from this Tool's class flyover Accessor StaticReadOnly string ViewTool Get the localized flyover for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".flyover" fromits registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). If that key is not in the localization namespace,ViewTool.keyin is returned. hidden Static boolean ViewTool If true, this Tool will not appear in the list from ToolRegistry.getToolList. i18n Static I18N ViewTool The internationalization services instance used to translate strings from the namespace. iconSpec Accessor ReadOnly string ViewTool Get the iconSpec from this Tool's class. iconSpec Static string ViewTool The icon for this Tool. inDynamicUpdate boolean ViewTool isControlDown Accessor ReadOnly boolean ViewTool Convenience method to check whether control key is currently down without needing a button event. isDynamicsStarted Accessor ReadOnly boolean ViewTool Call to find out if dynamics are currently active. keyin Accessor ReadOnly string ViewTool Get the localized keyin string from this Tool's class keyin Accessor StaticReadOnly string ViewTool Get the localized keyin string for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".keyin" fromits registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). maxArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly undefined | number ViewTool The maximum number of arguments allowed by ViewTool.parseAndRun, or undefined if there is no maximum.If subclasses override ViewTool.parseAndRun, they should also override this method to indicate the maximumnumber of arguments their implementation expects. minArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly number ViewTool The minimum number of arguments allowed by ViewTool.parseAndRun. If subclasses override ViewTool.parseAndRun, they should alsooverride this method to indicate the minimum number of arguments their implementation expects. UI controls can usethis information to ensure the tool has enough information to execute. namespace Static I18NNamespace ViewTool The I18NNamespace that provides localized strings for this Tool. receivedDownEvent boolean ViewTool Used to avoid sending tools up events for which they did not receive the down event. toolId Accessor ReadOnly string ViewTool Get the toolId string for this Tool class. This string is used to identify the Tool in the ToolRegistry and is used to localizethe keyin, description, etc. from the current locale. viewport undefined | ScreenViewport ViewTool Defined in core/frontend/src/tools/ViewTool.ts Line 3166 Last Updated: 11 June, 2024
