public class ElementsToArray
extends Transformer

On each firing, this actor reads exactly one token from each channel of the input port and assembles the tokens into an ArrayToken. The ArrayToken is sent to the output port. If there is no input token at any channel of the input port, the prefire() will return false.

This actor is polymorphic. It can accept inputs of any type, as long as the type does not change, and will produce an array with elements of the corresponding type.

Constructor Detail

ElementsToArray

public ElementsToArray(CompositeEntity container,
                       java.lang.String name)
                throws NameDuplicationException,
                       IllegalActionException
Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:
container - The container.
name - The name of this actor.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.
NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.
Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
Override the base class to set type constraints.

Overrides:
clone in class AtomicActor
Parameters:
workspace - The workspace for the new object.
Returns:
A new instance of ArrayElement.
Throws:
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - If a derived class contains an attribute that cannot be cloned.

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

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException
Consume one token from each channel of the input port, assemble those tokens into an ArrayToken, and send the result to the output.

Specified by:
fire in interface Executable
Overrides:
fire in class AtomicActor
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If not enough tokens are available.

prefire

public boolean prefire()
                throws IllegalActionException
Return true if all channels of the input port have tokens, false if any channel does not have a token.

Specified by:
prefire in interface Executable
Overrides:
prefire in class AtomicActor
Returns:
boolean True if all channels of the input port have tokens.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the hasToken() query to the input port throws it.
