java.lang.Object
- jv.object.PsConfig

```
public final class PsConfig
extends java.lang.Object
```
Static configuration class of JavaView with global static variables. The class must be initialized with current applet and frame. Initialization is automatically done in PvViewer when PvViewer instance is created in the top applet. If applet does not create an instance of PvViewer then applet must initialize this class directly using its init method.
Information about version, authors etc. is parsed during generation of jar file to be included as manifest information (currently, the information is just added as a file _jarVersion.txt to the archive).

public PsConfig()
```
- Method Detail
  - isApplication
```
public static boolean isApplication()
```
    Returns true if run as application, else false. E.g. applet.stub is not initialized when applet does not run in browser. This information is used e.g. in PsDebug when displaying status messages.
    JavaView runs as application if and only if the argument frame != null in PsConfig.init(Applet,Frame). Therefore it is essential to call PsConfig.init. Usually, this initialization is automatically done in the constructor of PvViewer, but it can be done by hand, if no PvViewer is created.
    
    See Also:
    
    init(Applet, PsViewerIf, Frame), PvViewer.PvViewer(Applet, Frame)
  - setApplication
```

```
public static java.applet.Applet getApplet()
```
    Get applet if run as applet.
  - getFrame
```
public static java.awt.Frame getFrame()
```
    Get frame to be used as parent frame for dialogs. If a frame has been specified as argument of PsConfig.init(Applet,Frame) this frame is return. Otherwise an invisible new frame is generated upon the first invocation.
  - getViewer
```
public static PsViewerIf getViewer()
```
    Get viewer. Viewer manages the 3d-displays, control window, and list of projects. It is the central class in JavaView, and usually created at the beginning of an applet or application. This instance variable gives access to PvViewer, e.g. to show/hide dialogs and panels.
    
    See Also:
    
    PsViewerIf, PvViewerIf, PvViewer.PvViewer(Applet, Frame)

  - reset
```
public static void reset()
```
    Clear all registered instances of applet, frame and viewer. Method should be invoked when applets are being destroyed in order to speed up the garbage collection.
    Calling init() after a reset() will lead to a full new initialization of this class. If no reset() is invoked, subsequent init() calls will be ignored after the first init() call.

  - init
```
public static void init(java.applet.Applet applet,
                        java.awt.Frame frame)
```
    Initialize this configuration class. Method must be called once and only once when JavaView is launched.
    If argument frame == null and applet != null then program runs as applet, and applet is used to access codebase etc. Otherwise, the program runs as application.
    Initialization must be done as soon as possible in an applet or application since system properties are parsed and evaluated. Usually, method is called automatically in the constructor of PvViewer.

```
public static java.lang.String getMessage(int key)
```
    Get localized translation of message. Never set an interface label or menu entry directly with a string but always call this method to obtain the localized version of the current locale.
    Usage of this method reduces the Java archives since the message string is no longer multiply stored.

```
public static void parseArgs(java.lang.String[] args,
                             java.util.Properties props)
```
    Store given command-line arguments as system properties by adding to each parameter to the system properties list. In general, an parameter must have the form
```
property=value
```
    Note, parameters containing blanks should be enclosed in quotes.
    There are two exceptions:
    1. JavaView model files.
    JavaView model files may either be specified using the above property=value scheme or simply as a single or list of files. For example, filenames specified in a model parameter are
```
model=myFile.jvx
```
    or
```
model=myFile1.jvx;myFile2.obj
```
    and, alternatively, filenames may appear as blank separated list of filenames such as
```
myFile.jvx
```
    or
```
myFile1.jvx myFile2.obj
```
    In the later case the property "model" is automatically generated and multiple geometry files are concatenated with ";"-separators in a single "model" property.
    2. JavaView display files:
    A single display file may be passed to JavaView similar like model files either as a property
```
displayFile=myFile.jvd
```
    or simply as a filename (which is detected by its filename extension JVD)
```
myFile.jvd
```

  - getCodeBase
```
public static java.lang.String getCodeBase()
```
    Get codebase of current applet or application.
    This method just returns the codebase as string. The codebase was most likely automatically determined in init(Applet,Frame), or it was assigned using setCodeBase(String).
    If JavaView runs as application then the codeBase ends with current file separator.
    
    See Also:
    
    init(Applet,Frame), getFileSeparator()
    
    Version:
    
    15.02.04, 1.30 revised (kp) Use OS dependent file separator.
    29.10.99, 1.20 revised (kp) Leading "/" no longer removed since required in unix.
    17.10.99, 1.10 revised (kp) Use always "/".
  - setCodeBase
```
public static void setCodeBase(java.lang.String aCodeBase)
```
    Set codebase of current applet or application. Usually the codebase is automatically determined by JavaView.
    If JavaView runs as application then the codeBase ends with current file separator.
    If JavaView is running locally within a web page then some browser use the the "file:" protocol to access local files. In this case, some browsers, notably IE, modify the codebase and replace blanks with %20. This leads to a FileNotFoundException when later reading a local file. I solved this problem by replacing any %20 in a codebase argument of this method if the codebase starts with "file:".
    
    Parameters:
    
    aCodeBase - new codebase
    
    See Also:
    
    getFileSeparator()
    
    Version:
    
    14.12.00, 1.10 revised (kp) If "file:" protocol then replace %20 with blanks.
  - getInstBase
```
public static java.lang.String getInstBase()
```
    Get instbase of current applet or application.
    This method just returns the instbase as string. The instbase was most likely automatically determined in init(Applet,Frame), or it was assigned using setCodeBase(String).
    If JavaView runs as application then the codeBase ends with current file separator.
    
    See Also:
    
    getCodeBase()
    
    Version:
    
    23.02.14, 1.00 created (kp)
  - setInstBase
```
public static void setInstBase(java.lang.String aInstBase)
```
    Set instbase of current application, for example, as command line parameter.
    If JavaView runs as application then the instbase ends with current file separator.

    getCodeBase()
    
    Version:

  - getFileSeparator
```
public static char getFileSeparator()
```
    Always return "/", and do not use system file separator. Previously. the file separator of system properties was used, but since Java gives the separator of the client instead of the server this behaviour led to problems. Since on windows systems "/" seems to work we use it as default.
    
    Version:
    
    17.10.99, 1.10 revised (kp) Use always "/".
  - getFont
```
public static java.awt.Font getFont(int type)
```
    Get font for specific textual application type, like FONT_TEXT, FONT_HEADER2 etc. Selected font size and name depends on current operating system.
  - setFont
```
public static boolean setFont(int os,
                              int type,
                              java.lang.String name,
                              int style,
                              int size)
```
    Set font for specific textual application type, like FONT_TEXT, FONT_HEADER2 etc. Only those gui widgets are affected which are constructed AFTER this call, so this method should probably be called right after JavaView starts. Note, that in general only a rather small set of fonts and font characteristics are supported. Especially, fonts supported on one OS may not be supported on other systems.
    Use JavaView applet jvx.thirdParty.fonts.SystemFonts to show a list all available fonts.
    
    Parameters:
    
    os - identifier of operating system among OS_WIN etc. If os==-1 use current osId.
    
    type - identifier among FONT_TEXT, FONT_HEADER2 etc.
    
    name - name of font such as SansSerif, Monospaced etc. If name==null leave current name.
    
    style - use among Font.PLAIN, Font.BOLD etc. If style==-1 leave current style.
    
    size - any size which is supported by Java and operating system. If size==-1 leave current size.
    
    Version:
    
    13.08.04, 1.10 revised (kp) Now replaces existing font with new version.
  - isDev
```
public static final boolean isDev()
```
    Temporary method, avoid usage.
