Hi Mike, There is an applet that does something similar with the types, see
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII5.0/ptII5.0.1/ptolemy/domains/sdf/demo/Type/Type.htm However, running vergil on the corresponding Type.xml file does not result in the text describing the types being updated because the applet uses ptolemy.vergil.TypeAnimatorApplet to update the types. I think that doing what you want to do would be a valuable UI feature in Ptolemy. Perhaps Edward will have some ideas? _Christopher -------- I have created a custom TypedIOPort that has a fixed-point "Precision" associated with it for modeling fixed-point systems. I would like to display the Precision value in Virgil. Any suggestions on the best way to render the Precision (or any other parameter of the port) within Virgil? Ideally, I would like to have Virgil automatically display this when the actor is first rendered. I have been unable to find an example to do this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
