Treat Everything in the Display Window in a Consistent Manner
SLD gave itself endless headaches by handling such things as
- the Event Information Box
- the List of Current Cut Values
- the Collaboration Logo
in a different way from the more standard kind of display objects such as
- a Drift Chamber Track
- a Calorimeter Energy Representation
Such special cases have turned out to require annoying amounts of special
attention.
Treat All Input Devices in an Consistent Manner
- Mice, Dial boxes, PF keys, headcheck, etc, are all great
- But be sure to code keyboard equivalents for all of these
- Nothing beats the editing ease of a script of keyboard commands
