Field Detail

echoBoxColor

public ColorAttribute echoBoxColor

Color of the echo boxes. This defaults to white.

echos

public Parameter echos

The number of echos of the bounding box to draw. This is an int that defaults to 2.

includeName

public Parameter includeName

If true, include the name of the copied actor in the icon if the name is included normally in its icon. NOTE: This will not include the name if the inside actor does not have an icon attribute, but only has an _iconDescription, so it's far from perfect. This is a boolean that defaults to false.

Constructor Detail

CopyCatIcon

public CopyCatIcon(NamedObj container,
                   java.lang.String name)
            throws IllegalActionException,
                   NameDuplicationException

Create a new icon with the given name in the given container.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of the attribute.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the attribute is not of an acceptable class for the container.

NameDuplicationException - If the name coincides with an attribute already in the container.

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Clone the object into the specified workspace. The new object is not added to the directory of that workspace (you must do this yourself if you want it there). The result is an object with no container.

Overrides:

clone in class XMLIcon

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace for the cloned object.

Returns:

The new Attribute.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - Not thrown in this base class

NamedObj.exportMoML(Writer, int, String), NamedObj.setDeferringChangeRequests(boolean)

createBackgroundFigure

public Figure createBackgroundFigure()

Create a new background figure. This method looks for entities contained by the same container, and if there are any, copies the icon of the last such entity. If there are none, then it behaves like the base class.

Overrides:

createBackgroundFigure in class XMLIcon

Returns:

A new figure.
