Class ManageMonitors

java.lang.Object
  avrora.gui.ManageMonitors

public class ManageMonitors

extends java.lang.Object

This class manages the dialog boxes for adding a monitor to the simulator. It uses GUIDefaults to get a list of the monitors and several functions inside AvroraGUI for actually adding visual panels when necessary.

There is depracated code here for a "Manage Monitor" button. Currently, we instead manage monitors using the top menu bar instead of a special button.
