public class RefinementExtender
extends Attribute

An attribute to add a class to the list of refinement classes for a state. The name of this attribute should be an easy-to-remember name of the refinement class to be shown to the user in the dialog displayed when the user chooses to add a refinement. The className property of this attribute refers to the actual class, which is either a Java class with which the refinement is to be created, or a Ptolemy class specified in MoML at the path pointed to by the class name.

Since:

Ptolemy II 8.0

Constructor Detail

RefinementExtender

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

Construct a refinement extender attribute with the given name contained by the specified entity. The container argument must not be null, or a NullPointerException will be thrown. This attribute will use the workspace of the container for synchronization and version counts. If the name argument is null, then the name is set to the empty string. Increment the version of the workspace.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this attribute.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the attribute is not of an acceptable class for the container, or if the name contains a period.

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