Hello,
How could you make the perspective change depending on what kind of
editpart is selected?
For example, if I have a square and a jpeg in the editing window, and I
select the square, then a toolbar with a "side length" button appears in
the toolbar, but if I select the jpeg, a "brightness" button appears in
the toolbar.

Instead of hiding and showing buttons, why not just disable and enable them
appropriately?
Switching perspectives everytime will quickly become annoying to the user.

Kevin, I don't think you can do what you want, but I am not sure. You might
have to just put both the actions on the toolbar and enable/disable them
based on the selection. The platform newsgroup will be the proper place to
inquire about this.

Arg, the toolbar buttons were supposed to be added dynamically by
seperate plugins, but I guess I need another approach now.
