WxML detail attribute

detail

The detail attribute is used within the <plugin> tag to specify an initial detail pane to be displayed within the WxScope Plugin's legend. By default, the plugin's legend displays a list of all elements within its map or graph. Clicking on an item in the list displays a detail pane with additional information for that item. The detail attribute can be used to bypass the list and display a particular detail pane when the plugin is first loaded. The value of the detail attribute is an integer index corresponding to the desired map or graph element. The index is zero-based, starting with the first element defined in WxML.

Supporting Tags

The detail attribute is supported by the <plugin> tag.

Examples

<plugin legend="right" detail="0"/> <plugin detail="3"/>

Notes

The <plugin> tag and its attributes are provided in WxML as an alternative to using HTML <EMBED> tag attributes with the WxScope Plugin. The same results can be achieved by using the DETAIL attribute within the HTML <EMBED> tag for an embedded instance of the plugin. The WxML detail attribute is particularly useful when displaying the plugin in full-page mode, since HTML attributes cannot be provided in this case.

Note that map or graph elements are indexed in the order they are defined in WxML, and numbering starts with "0" for the first element. This is the opposite order in which elements appear in the WxScope Plugin legend.

The <plugin> tag and its attributes are only relevant to the WxScope Plugin. Future software packages will likely ignore them.
