Miscellaneous GE Add Ons

Related Items API

Related Items are part of the products delivered by GE like PNI, EO, etc.

For PNI, there is a call to mit!additional_related_items() on the RWO that is an iterator of related objects.

+ PNI/netAssign Example

# for sheaths, add the following to sheath.mit!additional_related_items() to 
# show Ring information
    _for aRing _over _self.rwuk_lightpath_rings.fast_elements()
    _loop
        _loopbody(aRing)
    _endloop

Map Tool Tips

4.3 introduced the hovering information functionality called Map Tool Tips… The map_tooltip_plugin functionality calls description() on the RWO that is being hovered.

Thematics

The Thematics add-on¹ allows you to change the styling of features based on various attributions instead of storing the fixed styles in the style database.

Exporting/Importing Thematics

Dmitri Syxyn posted ace_them_control_dump.magik to the Yahoo Group. This allows you to export and import Thematics settings from one database to another.
