Member Function Documentation

void KSPopupMenu::addLinksToMenu	(	SkyObject *	obj,
		bool	showDSS = true
	)

Add an item to the popup menu for each of the URL links associated with this object.

URL links appear in two categories: images and information pages. For some objects, a link to Digitized Sky Survey images will automatically be added in addition to the object's normal image links. Also, for some objects, an "Add link..." item will be included, which allows the user to add their own custom URLs for this object.

Parameters

obj	pointer to the skyobject which the menu describes
showDSS	if true, include DSS Image links
