Hello, I'm a student in the Google Code-in competition. I've taken the
task to move Marble's Measure Tool into a plugin.
So far, I've made some progress - using the example plugin, I've been able
to move the measure tool rendering into a plugin. I know the drawing code
works because I called addMeasurePoint() in the constructor to have some
points to draw.
The problem I have now is that I can't figure out how to add the Add
Measure Point item to the right click menu from within the plugin.
I don't see any API that allows me to do this from the plugin. Am I
missing someting?
I suppose I could create a very simple API to do that. Otherwise, if I
leave the menu code in the application, that seems to defeat the purpose
of the plugin.
As an ugly fix, I could steal the middle mouse button events, and use
those to create a context menu.
I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Mike H.
