Detailed Description

Interface that TextViewers for the TextContentViewer must implement. These modules analyze an individual file that the user has selected and display results in some form of JPanel.

TextViewer panels should handle their own vertical scrolling, the horizontal scrolling when under their panel's preferred size will be handled by the TextContentViewerPanel which contains them.

TextViewer org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.TextViewer.createInstance ( )

Create and return a new instance of your viewer. The reason that this is needed is because the specific viewer modules will be found via NetBeans Lookup and the type will only be TextViewer. This method is used to get an instance of your specific type.

Returns: A new instance of the viewer

Implemented in org.sleuthkit.autopsy.keywordsearch.ExtractedTextViewer, org.sleuthkit.autopsy.texttranslation.ui.TranslatedTextViewer, and org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.StringsTextViewer.

Component org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.TextViewer.getComponent ( )

Return the Swing Component to display. Implementations of this method that extend JPanel and do a 'return this;'. Otherwise return an internal instance of the JPanel.

Returns: the component which is displayed for this viewer

Implemented in org.sleuthkit.autopsy.keywordsearch.ExtractedTextViewer, org.sleuthkit.autopsy.texttranslation.ui.TranslatedTextViewer, and org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.StringsTextViewer.

String org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.TextViewer.getTitle ( )

Returns the title of this viewer to display in the tab.

Returns: the title of TextViewer

String org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.TextViewer.getToolTip ( )

Returns a short description of this viewer to use as a tool tip for its tab.

Returns: the tooltip for this TextViewer

int org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.TextViewer.isPreferred ( Node node )

Checks whether the given viewer is preferred for the Node. This is a bit subjective, but the idea is that Autopsy wants to display the most relevant tab. The more generic the viewer, the lower the return value should be. This will only be called on viewers that support the given node (i.e., isSupported() has already returned true).

The following are some examples of the current levels in use. If the selected node is an artifact, the level may be determined by both the artifact and its associated file.

Level 7 - Based on the artifact, if any, in the selected node and specific to an artifact type or types. The current text viewer that can return level 7 is the Indexed Text tab when the selected node is a Keyword Search hit.

Level 6 - Based on the artifact, if any, in the selected node but not restricted to particular types.

Level 5 - Based on the file in the selected node and very specific to the file type.

Level 4 - Based on the file in the selected node but fairly general. Currently this is the level returned by the Indexed Text tab if Keyword Search has been run (unless the node is a Keyword Search hit or a Credit Card account). This is the default tab for most files.

Level 3 - Based on the artifact, if any, in the selected node where the artifact is thought to be of less interest than the associated file.

Level 1 - Very general and should always be available. The Strings tabs is this this level

Level 0 - For cases where the text viewer should never be displayed by default.

Parameters

node	Node to check for preference

Returns: an int (0-10) higher return means the viewer has higher priority

Implemented in org.sleuthkit.autopsy.keywordsearch.ExtractedTextViewer, org.sleuthkit.autopsy.texttranslation.ui.TranslatedTextViewer, and org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.StringsTextViewer.

boolean org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.TextViewer.isSupported ( Node node )

Checks whether the given node is supported by the viewer. This will be used to enable or disable the tab for the viewer.

Parameters

node	Node to check for support

Returns: True if the node can be displayed / processed, else false

Implemented in org.sleuthkit.autopsy.keywordsearch.ExtractedTextViewer, org.sleuthkit.autopsy.texttranslation.ui.TranslatedTextViewer, and org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.StringsTextViewer.

void org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.TextViewer.resetComponent ( )

Resets the contents of the viewer / component.

Implemented in org.sleuthkit.autopsy.keywordsearch.ExtractedTextViewer, org.sleuthkit.autopsy.texttranslation.ui.TranslatedTextViewer, and org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.StringsTextViewer.

void org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.TextViewer.setNode ( Node selectedNode )

Autopsy will call this when this panel is focused with the file that should be analyzed. When called with null, must clear all references to previous nodes.

Parameters

selectedNode the node which is used to determine what is displayed in this viewer

Implemented in org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.StringsTextViewer.
