Method Detail

create

public static PreviewPanel create(Locator locator)
                           throws java.lang.Exception

Creates a PreviewPanel used to show a preview for a locator, usually the subject locator. Resolving a suitable preview for the locator is hard coded into the method as a simple if-then statement. This may change in future releases of the application. More dynamic preview resolver would be better. All PreviewPanel classes contain a static method canView that tells if the class can view the locator. Usually canView methods delegates the test to the PreviewUtils.isOfType method.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
