mxDefaultToolbar

Toolbar for the editor. This modifies the state of the graph or inserts new cells upon mouse clicks.

Example

Create a toolbar with a button to copy the selection into the clipboard, and a combo box with one action to paste the selection from the clipboard into the graph.

var toolbar = new mxDefaultToolbar(container, editor);
toolbar.addItem('Copy', null, 'copy');

var combo = toolbar.addActionCombo('More actions...');
toolbar.addActionOption(combo, 'Paste', 'paste');

Codec

This class uses the mxDefaultToolbarCodec to read configuration data into an existing instance. See mxDefaultToolbarCodec for a description of the configuration format.
