public class ModelRepaintController
extends Attribute

A class to do scheduled repaints at certain user specified moments in the execution of the model. This component piggy-backs with the execution of its container, and allows you to define that repaints need to happen when certain functions of its container are executed. Currently only repaints at wrapup or post-fire can be scheduled.

Constructor Detail

ModelRepaintController

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

Construct an instance of the ModelRepaintController.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name.

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.

Method Detail

setContainer

public void setContainer(NamedObj container)
                  throws IllegalActionException,
                         NameDuplicationException

Specify the container NamedObj, adding this attribute to the list of attributes in the container. If the container already contains an attribute with the same name, then throw an exception and do not make any changes. Similarly, if the container is not in the same workspace as this attribute, throw an exception. If this attribute is already contained by the NamedObj, do nothing. If the attribute already has a container, remove this attribute from its attribute list first. Otherwise, remove it from the directory of the workspace, if it is there. If the argument is null, then remove it from its container. It is not added to the workspace directory, so this could result in this object being garbage collected. Note that since an Attribute is a NamedObj, it can itself have attributes. However, recursive containment is not allowed, where an attribute is an attribute of itself, or indirectly of any attribute it contains. This method is write-synchronized on the workspace and increments its version number.

Overrides:

setContainer in class Attribute

Parameters:

container - The container to attach this attribute to..

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If this attribute is not of the expected class for the container, or it has no name, or the attribute and container are not in the same workspace, or the proposed container would result in recursive containment.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an attribute with the name of this attribute.

_scheduleRepaint

private void _scheduleRepaint(Parameter parameter)

Schedule a repaint in case the value parameter equals True. This is done by requesting a ChangeRequest.

Parameters:

parameter - The parameter.
