Player Panel

The Player Panel is the primary visualization component for machining simulation playback.

Key Models

• LocalProjectService - Project data service
• UserService - User service

Associated Tool Bars

• Player Tool Bar
• RenderingCanvas Tool Bar
• Player extended RenderingCanvas Tool Bar

Layout Structure

The Player Panel consists of:

• Central Area: RenderingCanvas for 3D visualization
• Vertical Splitter: Draggable bar to resize widths
• Side Panel:
  • Upper: Selected-Step Info Panel
  • Horizontal Splitter: Draggable bar to resize heights
  • Lower: Session Message Panel

Default Panel Configuration

The Player Panel is set as the default panel on the Page Panel when the main window opens. The associated toolbars (Player Tool Bar, RenderingCanvas Tool Bar, Player Extended RenderingCanvas Tool Bar) are also configured accordingly.

Player Extended RenderingCanvas Tool Bar Behavior

The Player Extended RenderingCanvas Tool Bar provides additional controls:

• CL Strip Buttons and Fit View Button - Controls for CL strip display and view fitting
• Project Rendering Items DropDown - Selection of rendering items

The toolbar receives notifications when the project is changed from Main Panel.

Related Preference

• Step Present Preference Page - Controls step presentation settings

RenderingCanvas Behavior

The RenderingCanvas displays the machining project visualization:

1. On initialization, a MachiningProjectDisplayee is created and assigned to RenderingCanvas.DispEngine.Displayee
2. The displayee receives project data from LocalProjectService
3. The RenderingCanvas is disposed when the Player Panel is disposed
