Hi Edward, Thanks a lot for your reply. It really helped me.
Thanks & Regards, Sapan -----Original Message----- From: Edward A.

EditorIcon is a subclass of ptolemy.kernel.util.Attribute, so it functions in the model like any other actor parameter. You can see explicitly in your model if you choose View->Tree View. If you issue a ChangeRequest or MoMLChangeRequest that removes the previous icon (setContainer(null)) and adds a new one, then the icon will change. See the documentation for EditorIcon, ptolemy.moml.MoMLChangeRequest, ptolemy.kernel.util.NamedObj.requestChange(). Hope this helps.

I know that the icon information is automatically picked up from <actorNmae>Icon.xml. I want to change this icon at run time based on some configuration parameter. So, for example, I take the case of memory. If it is selected as DDR, I want to choose one icon and if it is eSRAM I want to change the icon at run time.
