This topic discusses the parameter validation feature provided by the PLANTA link API.
For each parameter you register in a mapping function or module subclass you can specify a parameter validator that ensures that the parameter has a valid value.
The user will be prevented from entering invalid data on the GUI, the functions that change a parameter won't let you change it to a illegal value and the sanity check for a configuration will fail when a parameter validator fails its check.
