extends java.lang.Object
implements ControlManager
```

```
public static final java.lang.String PLOTTERS_PROP
```
    System property that may contain a colon-separated list of Plotter implementation class names (with no-arg constructors) to plug in at runtime. This is a bit scrappy - they will show up in all plot types, which probably is not appropriate.

public GroupControlManager(ControlStack stack,
                           uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.PlotType plotType,
                           PlotTypeGui plotTypeGui,
                           TypedListModel<TopcatModel> tablesModel,
                           ZoneFactory zfact,
                           MultiConfigger baseConfigger,
                           TopcatListener tcListener)
```
    Constructor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stack - control stack which this object will manage
    
    plotType - defines basic plot characteristics
    
    plotTypeGui - defines GUI-specific plot characteristics
    
    tablesModel - list of available tables
    
    zfact - zone id factory
    
    baseConfigger - configuration source for some global config options
    
    tcListener - listener for TopcatEvents; this manager will arrange for it to listen to whatever is the currently selected TopcatModel

  - getStackActions
```
public javax.swing.Action[] getStackActions()
```
    Description copied from interface: ControlManager
    
    Returns a list of actions which can be performed to add controls to the stack.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getStackActions in interface ControlManager
    
    Returns:
    
    list of stack actions
  - createDefaultControl
```
public Control createDefaultControl(TopcatModel tcModel)
```
    Description copied from interface: ControlManager
    
    Returns a suitable control to add to the stack for a given table. It's useful to have something like this so that when the plot window is first shown, it displays some data rather than none. Even if the actual plot is not very meaningful, it gives the user a chance to get started with the GUI with a minimum of thought.
    
    Specified by:
    
    createDefaultControl in interface ControlManager
    
    Parameters:
    
    tcModel - initial table
    
    Returns:
    
    some control that will generate an example plot using table data
  - addLayer
```
public void addLayer(LayerCommand lcmd)
              throws LayerException
```
    Description copied from interface: ControlManager
    
    Adds a layer to the plot as specified by the given layer command. Ideally, appropriate changes should be made to the GUI as well, so the effect is just as if the user had added the layer by hand.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addLayer in interface ControlManager
    
    Parameters:
    
    lcmd - specifies the layer to add
    
    Throws:
    
    LayerException - if the layer can't be added
