public class URLToImage
extends Transformer

An actor that reads a String input token naming a URL and outputs an Object Token that contains a java.awt.Image

It is possible to load a file from the local file system by using the prefix "file://" instead of "http://". Relative file paths are allowed. To specify a file relative to the current directory, use "../" or "./". For example, if the current directory contains a file called "test.jpg", then sourceURL should be set to "file:./test.jpg". If the parent directory contains a file called "test.jpg", then sourceURL should be set to "file:../test.jpg". To reference the file test.jpg, located at "/tmp/test.jpg", sourceURL should be set to "file:///tmp/test.jpg" The default value is "file:///tmp/test.jpg".

Constructor Detail

URLToImage

public URLToImage(CompositeEntity container,
                  java.lang.String name)
           throws IllegalActionException,
                  NameDuplicationException
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

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException
Read on StringToken from the input, and output an ObjectToken that contains a java.awt.Image object to the output port.

Specified by:
fire in interface Executable
Overrides:
fire in class AtomicActor
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If there's no director.

prefire

public boolean prefire()
                throws IllegalActionException
Return false if the input port has no token, otherwise return what the superclass returns (presumably true).

Specified by:
prefire in interface Executable
Overrides:
prefire in class AtomicActor
Returns:
True if this actor is ready for firing, false otherwise.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If there is no director.
