Last change on this file since 4571 was 3636, checked in by mmc, 12 years ago

Fixed the drawing widget to handle notifications from outside widgets, so
that canvas items react to value changes. Also added tooltips for drawing
items.

Nudged the next/back buttons for the pager in a bit, so they're a little
easier to press in the iPad app.

Fixed the Ruby template for the builder to include the overwrite/append flag.

3#  COMPONENT: owner - manages Rappture controls
4#
5#  This object represents an entity managing Rappture controls.
6#  It is typically a Tool, a DeviceEditor, or some other large entity
7#  that manages a Rappture XML tree.  All controlling widgets are
8#  registered with an owner, and the owner propagates notifications
9#  out to clients who have an interest in a particular control.
